WHAT IS TESTOSTERONE?

Testosterone may be the most important health factor in the male body. Testosterone really separates the men from the boys. When naturally abundant, testosterone is at the core of energy, stamina and sexuality. When it is deficient it is at the core of fatigue, aging, deterioration and disease.  

The value of testosterone replacement for men has been well documented by European physicians. As a physician in the U.S. specializing in sports performance and hormone replacement, Dr. Kryger has recommended testosterone supplementation for over a decade. Yet the importance of testosterone replacement in men is still relatively unrecognized in conventional or allopathic medicine. 

Without adequate testosterone you may experience:  

• decreased energy
• lowered metabolism
• decreased muscle mass
• increased body fat especially a "pot belly"
• diminished sex drive or sexual function
• depressed mood or lack of motivation

Restoring optimal levels of testosterone has been proven to:   

• increase muscle mass and size
• boost brain function including memory, visual acuity, spacial orientation and concentration
• protect the heart, it reduces virtually every cardiovascular risk factor including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, abnormal clotting and the stress response.
• strengthen the bones
• lowers insulin levels in men

A study in 1996 reported in the New England Journal of Medicine followed three groups of men. One group was given testosterone and prescribed a strength training program, one group was given testosterone and told not to exercise and one group was just given a training program without testosterone. As expected, the group who exercised using testosterone gained the most muscle and lost the most fat, but to the researchers surprise the group who used testosterone without exercise, actually had greater improvement in muscle and fat composition than the group who trained without it. You can't build muscle without it!
