TweetHormone Replacement Therapy

If you’re reading this there’s a good chance you’re one of the many who doesn’t feel quite up to speed, is missing that extra pep in your step you used to have or you’re looking for a slight added edge. If that’s the case you’re not alone as millions upon millions worldwide have embarked themselves into the world of hormone replacement therapy.

There are roughly four types of hormone replacement therapy

For pre and post-menopausal women: the purpose for this therapy is due to the lowered estrogen circulation in the woman’s body later on in her life. Progestin, progesterone and estrogen hormones are the most common hormones administered to improve this deficiency; testosterone is sometimes used to a lesser extent. This form of hormone replacement therapy is relied upon by many women the world over and is typically administered by gel, creams and tablets to vaginal rings and in some cases injections.
For female-to-male: the purpose of this type of HRT is simple; to allow a female to change her hormonal structure to that of a male.
For male-to-female: the purpose of this type of hormone replacement therapy is simple; to allow a male to change his hormonal structure to that of a female.
Androgen replacement therapy: this type of HRT is generally administered to men to slow down or improve the effects caused by aging. In most cases this type of hormone replacement therapy is used to combat a loss of testicular function known as Hypogonadism
Combating Hypogonadism has become more and more prevalent over recent years; hypogonadism is something in truth all men experience to a degree in terms of the effects such as a loss of erections, loss of muscle tissue and mass, increases in body fat typically attributed by lowered testosterone levels. With a steady dose of hormone replacement therapy these problems can be reduced and even reversed by the administering of certain hormones to the body.

HRT for males has quickly risen in numbers over recent years; many athletes who have been accused or caught using anabolic steroids have stated the purpose was not to cheat but to combat the symptoms of age which in most countries is a legal means of dealing with this issue. However, hormone replacement therapy requires one to administer hormones illegal to many governing sports bodies, thereby creating a difficult situation for the athlete if he is caught or accused.

Hormone replacement therapy has also come under fire in recent years in cases regarding both androgen therapies as well as for menopausal symptoms. Studies have shown that menopausal therapy in women can increase the risk of strokes and heart attacks as well as an increase in breast cancer; how accurate these claims are is undetermined. It is however the hormone replacement therapy administered to men for the purposes of anti-aging that has come under the largest brunt of fire. It can be difficult to determine in many cases if the male in question legitimately needs the therapy for medical purposes versus a desire to simply perform better. Even so, there is no question, male HRT works and works well.

TweetWe hear talk of low testosterone all the time; for crying out loud you cant turn the TV on without seeing a commercial regarding Low T. You see advertisements and articles in all of your favorite health and fitness related magazines with products bragging about increasing testosterone levels to give you a boost but you rarely if ever hear anyone talking about high testosterone. We say rarely because the majority will never visit an anabolic steroid related message board; if you do youll hear high testosterone discussed each and every day but most are completely unaware of what high testosterone can do and how it affects us.

Lets be clear right from the get go; high testosterone itself is not something to be afraid of as it is a highly beneficial condition. All of us produce testosterone in varying levels and while rare some will do so in massive amounts and generally thrive at a higher level than the rest. For the rest of us there is only one true way to achieve high testosterone levels and it is through the use of anabolic androgenic steroids; specifically exogenous testosterone. This is where problems can occur if the hormones are abused but if supplemented with in responsible fashion by healthy adult males the individual will see his quality of life greatly enhanced and he too will thrive.

The Advantages of High Testosterone:

What are the advantages of high testosterone? Actually a better question to ask is what arent they? That is correct, high testosterone can be that amazing as it will positively affect your physical and mental state taking you to new levels of effectiveness in a host of aspects of your life. On the very basis of an improved sense of well-being high levels of this potent androgen should be desired but the benefits hardly end there; no, were just getting started. If this doesnt peak youre interest nothing will; here are some of the advantages of high testosterone:

Increased Muscle Mass
Increased Strength
Decreased Body-Fat
Increased Energy
Greater Overall Athletic Performance
Increased Libido
Increased Mental Clarity
Increased Memory
Enhanced Mood
A Greater Sense of Well-Being
Of course and it should go without saying, the higher our levels the more enhanced these traits will be; of course, at the same time there will be somewhat of a cutoff point to where increasing them anymore is a waste of time and effort. While all this remains true this is where we can begin to get into problems as the only true way to obtain high testosterone levels is through the use of the anabolic steroid testosterone itself. When we supplement with testosterone we will find this is a very safe and effective hormone but it does carry possible side-effects when administered in exogenous fashion. Most healthy adult men who supplement and do so responsibly will be fine but there are important factors we must recognize.

We are all unique individuals and as such higher doses of testosterone will affect everyone differently. Further, as the dose goes up, although benefits will be enhanced the rate of probability regarding adverse reactions increases as well. It is a tradeoff and some men will respond well to higher doses while others wont and this can be hard to predict. Even so, with responsible use the majority and we do mean the strong majority of men can increase their levels safely and enjoy the benefits within.

The End Game:

By the very nature in-which anabolic steroids are often portrayed in popular culture many men are petrified of high testosterone levels; in-fact, many men are petrified of simply receiving treatment for a low level condition. This is we can assure you a misplaced fear. Testosterone is not a foreign substance to the body, it is not poison and no one has ever died from exogenous use. That is correct; there has never been a recorded death due to the use of exogenous testosterone or any anabolic androgenic steroid for that matter. The reason most men are so scared of high testosterone levels is simply because they do not understand what the hormone is and how important and vital it is to our body. Regardless of your position on anabolic steroid use you produce testosterone whether you like it or not and if you can begin to understand the importance of the hormone and its basic functions you can at least begin to appreciate what high testosterone levels can do.

TweetIt is one of the most common conditions to ever exist and it affects millions upon millions of men worldwide. While it is common and quite bothersome at best it can lead to a host of very serious issues; were talking of course of low testosterone. You may be familiar with testosterone on a few different levels, as it is the primary male sex hormone essential for proper function in the body and a total well-functioning endocrine system. Further, you may be familiar with testosterone in the anabolic steroid sense as testosterone is the primary anabolic steroid of which all steroids owe their allegiance. With all of that in mind it should come as no surprise, the only treatment for low testosterone is supplementing with testosterone and the only way this low testosterone treatment can be successful is by supplementing with the primary anabolic steroid.

For many men low testosterone is not something they give a lot of thought to; its not because they dont care, its because they simply dont know. Every man alive notices as he ages he slows down, he has less energy, his sex drive isnt what it used to be and his physique really begins to suffer and generally its all shrugged off as part of the aging process. If thats not enough many men as they age begin to suffer from insomnia, they experience greater stress and the ability to adequately deal with it goes out the window; it is very common for a man to become very complacent. While there can be many factors that lead to this end most commonly is that of low testosterone and if any of this rings a bell, if this sounds like you in any way you need to have your testosterone levels checked. If you suffer from any of the following symptoms we can almost guarantee you have a low testosterone problem; they include but are not limited to:

Decreased Libido
Erectile Dysfunction
Loss of Muscle Mass
Loss of Strength
Increased Body-Fat
Decreased Energy
Lack of Mental Focus
Depression
Increased Stress
Insomnia
While none of the listed symptoms are of a life threatening nature one could hardly call them inconsequential and when we look at the physique related ones such symptoms can lead to and promote a host of other varying health related problems. Further and of interesting note, in recent years several studies have found low testosterone may indeed be one of the leading causes of dementia and ailments such as Alzheimers disease. As you can see, when all things are considered low testosterone is no joking matter.

If you suffer from low testosterone and its important to note, if you do you may not suffer from all the above symptoms, many men will only display a few in the beginning but blood work is the only way to know with certainty. Once your levels are determined remedy is a very simple process as you will be prescribed pure testosterone. While this prescription can come in many various forms in-terms of application the hormone itself is the same within each; in that, testosterone is simply testosterone but varying forms will be more effective and efficient than others.

To receive treatment for your low testosterone condition you must consult with your doctor and take the proper steps to remedy the problem. However, as low testosterone has in recent years become a more familiar topic of medical treatment most general practitioners are still years behind due to all the negative press anabolic steroids have received over the years. For this reason a hormone specialist is going to be your best bet; finding someone who specializes in hormone replacement therapy is going to truly be what you need but once you find such an individual and they exist in every town you will see your life greatly improve.

TweetTestosterone Replacement Therapy

For decades the anabolic steroid testosterone has been used as a means of performance enhancement in the sporting world and at one time it was deemed an anti-aging wonder drug but as the years past and anabolic steroids took on a bad name this fame began to wane. However, in recent years testosterone replacement therapy has once again made a return to the mainstream and for good reason; testosterone replacement therapy works. Men the world over receive testosterone replacement therapy on a regular basis and see dramatic improvements in their well-being and life as a whole.

The idea of testosterone replacement therapy is simple; to increase the level of free flowing testosterone in the body. As we age our natural testosterone levels begin to fall and fall more rapidly with each passing year. With testosterone replacement therapy we can stave off some of the effects of age and in many cases reverse effects already in place.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy Administration:

As you understand, testosterone is an anabolic steroid; it is a hormone naturally occurring in the body but through testosterone replacement therapy we are administering a synthetic form of the hormone. If you qualify for testosterone replacement therapy the drug is generally administered via injection, a transdermal patch or in gel form. The injectable form is far more efficient than any other method; while all methods present possible negative side-effects only patches and gels present the possibility of skin irritation where the medication is applied.

Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy:

As discussed, as we age our testosterone levels fall and in doing so we experience a loss of muscle tissue, a slower metabolic rate, lower levels of energy, a decrease in bone strength as well as a decreased libido. With adequate testosterone replacement therapy we can see improvement in all the areas mentioned, in some cases quite dramatically. In most cases you will need to be at least thirty years of age to qualify for testosterone replacement therapy but there are exceptions; your total testosterone levels will determine this in the end.

Receiving Testosterone Replacement Therapy:

Many men receive testosterone replacement therapy from their family physician, some prefer seeing an endocrinologist but increasingly a more common method is through a hormone replacement clinic or what is sometimes referred to as a rejuvenation clinic. These particular clinics specialize in testosterone replacement therapy and you may find them to be of great benefit.
