Hormones play a vital role in brain health, muscle mass, energy, bone strength, and overall well-being. While testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, estrogen is also crucial for the male body. Testosterone impacts libido, sexual function, muscle growth, energy, and mood. Testosterone biomarkers include total and free testosterone. A free testosterone level indicates the amount that is available for your tissues to use. Learn more about hormone health, how to support your hormone levels naturally, and when hormone replacement therapy may be useful.
