From the days of high school health class, you know that testosterone is the lifeblood of every man. This sexual hormone provides many benefits to the body like sexual desire and muscular gains. When you start to notice a decrease in these areas, you may believe that low T is to blame. Increasing your testosterone all starts with understanding how it affects your body.
What Is Testosterone?
Testosterone is a naturally produced sexual hormone that is found in both male and female bodies. This hormone is, however, much more prominent in men than women. It plays many vital roles in assisting the human body in everyday functioning. These include things like:
- Hair Growth
- Muscular Mass And Density
- Bone Growth
- Sexual Drive
- Sperm Production
- Development Of Male Genitalia
Testosterone production starts as little as seven weeks after conception. During the years of male puberty and early teens, testosterone production spikes. This is when the typical deeper voice develops, genitals enlarge, sexual desire succumbs, and facial hair starts to grow. This heightened production continues and most men tend to experience the highest level of testosterone production in their 20s.

When Does Testosterone Production Start To Decrease?
While testosterone production peaks in the 20s, it starts to decline in the 30s. In fact, it’s been estimated that men lose about one percent of their natural testosterone production every year starting at age 30. Therefore, the average man can expect to lose about 10 percent of their natural testosterone production by age 40.
As you can see, it’s totally natural to notice a slight decline in your testosterone levels. However, sometimes men experience a larger decrease in their testosterone levels. Researchers suggest that lifestyle changes like obesity and depression can cause more testosterone production to cease as you continue to age. Understanding the signs of low testosterone can assist you in determining if you’re experiencing this health condition or not. These signs include:
- Reduced Body Hair
- Decreased Muscle Mass
- Increased Fat Gain
- Low Libido
- Irritability
- Depression
- Constant Fatigue
- Decreased Erectile Functions
As you take a look at this list, you should evaluate your lifestyle experiences against it. It’s important to note that some health conditions could put you at a higher risk for developing age related low testosterone. These include conditions like obesity and diabetes.
