Testosterone There are 5 products.

Testosterone is the hormone that is responsible for androgenic, or masculine, effects of the growth of the reproductive system and the sprouting of pubic and facial hair at puberty. Testosterone also drives anabolic, or tissue building, growth such as the development of sexual libido and an increase in strength and muscle bulk. Essentailly testosterone is the hormone responsible for muscle growth as it facilitates greater protein synthesis, allowing the muscle fibres to repair faster and become larger in size.

There are many supplements that may assist with boosting testosterone levels, protein synthesis and therefore muscle growth. A primary goal of many bodybuilders and athletes is to increase their testosterone levels in order to increase muscle size.

Testosterone is a powerful anabolic (muscle building) hormone that is naturally released from the testes in males, and the ovaries and adrenal glands in females. Males tend to produce about 7 - 8 times the amount of testosterone than females do. The release of testosterone is controlled by the Luteinising Hormone (LH), which is secreted from the pituitary gland located at the base of the brain.

Testoterone levels will gradually decline with age, and supplementation with a testosterone booster may be necessary. Testosterone boosters include Tribulus Terrestis, Bulgarian Tribulus Zinc, Magnesium and D-Aspartic Acid. Some of these are in capsule/tablet form and are consumed daily with water, whilst others such as D-Aspartic Acid can be added to your pre workout or post workout supplement to fuel the release of testosterone and help you to grow.
