Testosterone

Testosterone is responsible for libido and endurance during sex. It promotes muscle growth and reduces fat in the stomach and hips area. In the male, it boosts vigor, energy and assertiveness. It facilitates signaling in the brain and thereby aids spatial awareness, mental agility, physical coordination and memory. Men can stimulate the production of testosterone in their own bodies. Regular endurance exercise and weight training are helpful in this regard.

On the other hand, regular consumption of alcohol in large quantities causes a long-term decline in testosterone levels. As a guideline, you should drink no more than 0.2 liters of wine per day. It is clear that sex has a major influence on the formation of testosterone. Supplementation is usually prescribed in the form of a patch. Genetic predisposition will determine whether this course of action is safe or not. For certain gene variants, it may significantly increase the risk of prostate cancer
