Too many people still think that testosterone is only a male hormone and everything related to testosterone is male. So when women think of taking testosterone, it’s natural for them to worry that their voice will get lower and that they may begin to grow facial hair. This is not exactly true.
Testosterone is the third sex hormone: estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. They are all made from cholesterol and they all exist in both women and men. The difference between them, are the amounts of each hormone of which the body makes. Women have more estrogen and progesterone, and men have more testosterone.
Testosterone is the hormone that is responsible for the growth of muscle, sex drive, positive outlook, aggression, and drive. The difference in men and women depend on the amounts made by the body. Testosterone is made in the ovaries and adrenal glands in women and the testicles and adrenal glands in men.
When we get older, as our thyroid, estrogen, progesterone and basically everything else decreases, so does our testosterone. So naturally when testosterone production decreases, our sex drive, muscle building capacity, outlook, drive, etc. also decrease. Testosterone is safe and a part of hormone therapy because it can be helpful to you if you want to keep your sex drive active and you don’t want the skin to sag too badly too soon.
Testosterone supplementation works best in cream, gels, spray and intramuscular injection forms. The tablet form of testosterone supplements do not work. This is because the stomach destroys the testosterone and the body does not absorb what it needs. Injections are usually painful and not often a recommended way of supplementation. Patches are usually made of synthetic testosterone, rather than bioidentical testosterone, and their absorption is unpredictable and can causes rashes in a lot of patients.
Synthetic forms of testosterone are not recommended. You can get natural, or bioidentical testosterone, from compounding pharmacies, after your doctor writes a prescription for you. Bioidentical testosterone is made from soy and yam oils just like bioidentical estradiol and micronized progesterone. Pharmaceutical processes then transform the oils into testosterone powder which is mixed into transdermal creams. This way it enables the body to properly absorb it, and it’s easy to use.
