Testosterone has been called the hormone of desire and supplementing it in women plays a critical role-
Testosterone plays a vital role in the normal functioning of women's bodies. It is necessary for the proper development of sex organs and their functioning, and is necessary for the healthy transition into puberty. Testosterone is at least partly responsible for the normal sexual desire in women. It also plays a role in helping to maintain the health of women's bones.
Testosterone is the body’s natural anabolic steroid and helps to promote the metabolic efficiency of the whole body.
Testosterone has some effect on every tissue in the human body.
Vaginal dryness and atrophy have been treated successfully with topical administration of testosterone creams, with or without estrogen.
Testosterone supplementation along with balancing of other hormones in post-menopausal women can restore libido (sex drive) and increase pleasure of intercourse.
Testosterone can be added to custom-compounded natural hormonal replacement therapies.
Testosterone supplementation in commercially available preparations are too strong according to many doctors. The recommended range of 0.25 to 1.25mg per day does not produce many of the side effects reported in women taking the commercial products.
Testosterone added to estrogen therapies has been shown to reduce total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and to reduce triglycerides.
Dr. Susan Rako has written a very good book on testosterone supplementation titled Testosterone, the Hormone of Desire. |
