Testosterone is the primary “I am man, hear me roar” hormone among the androgen (male hormone) family of hormones and by far the best known in this entire sector (who hasn’t heard of testosterone?  It’s practically a verb in it’s own right).

Androgens are responsible for the development of masculine characteristics in all vertebrates (aka humans, anything with a spine basically) by a process where it binds to the androgen receptors.  This all sounds foreign, I know, but trust me there is a point.

Androgens are the overseers of the activity of all male sex organs (including the penis and testosterone production) and the development of secondary sexual characteristics, like a man’s deep voice, male body and facial hair, broader shoulders and chest, a heavier bone structure than women, larger and more dense muscle mass and more coarse skin.

Testosterone, the kind of all androgens, is mostly secreted in the testes and then secondarily by the adrenal glands, which is something I did not previously know.

The functions of this powerful hormone are so very closely linked to the mental and sexual well-being of men, that a dip in the level of testosterone produced by the body is enough to bring about dramatic changes in any man.  This is where a testosterone enhancing supplement can work wonders for you. 

What this type of supplement does is naturally boost your testosterone, and even your semen production, for improved sexual desire and a higher output of testosterone, naturally.  More on testosterone level issues next time…
