Men want to be male and stay that way, especially when they are older!

This is due to testosterone, the most important male sex hormone (androgen). This decreases with increasing age and fluctuates in the daily rhythm (optimal time for the measurement is in the morning, between 8 and 10 a.m.). But the question arises: how much testosterone does “He” need?

Laboratory diagnostics are based on the normal medical values ​​(men 1.93 – 8.36 ng/ml women 0.03 – 0.48 ng/ml), these mostly only reflect an average, but not the age-related target value, help here the age-corrected testosterone values:

Age (years)	Testosterone (ng / ml)
20-29	3.1 – 8.3
30-39	3.0 – 8.3
40-49	2.8 – 7.0
50-59	2.4 – 6.3
60-69	2.1 – 5.4
70-89	1.7 – 4.9

What do we actually need testosterone for? Only for the “one”?

No, testosterone increases muscle mass and muscle strength as well as bone density and bone maturity in both sexes and also influences fat and sugar metabolism.

The answer to the question of the optimal testosterone level is easy to answer: “If the man is fine, then his hormone balance is also good”. The man has to feel good, then he also has an optimal testosterone level.

What can “man” do if a defect is found in the laboratory?

In men, testosterone is largely produced under the influence of LH (luteinizing hormone) in the Leydig’s interstitial cells in the testes, women produce small amounts of testosterone in the ovaries and adrenal cortex.

The deficit of the sex hormone occurs because the total testosterone still produced and present is bound to albumins and globulins (sex hormone binding globulin = SHBG). The bound portion is biologically inactive. If the liver produces a high level of SHBG, symptoms of a testosterone deficiency can also occur with high total testosterone values.

Now the good news: “Man” can do something about it naturally, if the androgen is too low, it can be reactivated!

An extract from natural fenugreek with iron, zinc and vitamin B6 can normalize the testosterone level again. Seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
