Testosterone – the stuff men are made of. It not only controls sexual desire, but also complex metabolic processes in the male body.
Testosterone stands for masculinity, strength and muscles. It is produced by the cells of the testicles. It controls emotions, sexuality and metabolism. Beginning between the ages of 30 and 40, the level of the hormone drops by one to two percent annually. But there can be no question of Ebbe: “Even if one used to speak of andropause based on the menopause – healthy men are usually not lacking in testosterone even in old age,” says Armin Soave, senior physician in urology at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf.
