Testosterone
Testosterone is a hormone that helps regulate sex drive, maintain bone strength, control fat distribution, support muscle growth, and stimulate the production of red blood cells and sperm.
In men, most testosterone is produced in the testicles. In women, smaller amounts are made in the ovaries and adrenal glands.
Men’s testosterone levels naturally decline after about age 30, but low levels can occur at any age and may cause symptoms such as reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, tiredness, loss of muscle mass, and low energy.
Although women have much lower testosterone levels than men, testosterone still supports libido, muscle tone, and red blood cell production.
Laboratory reference ranges vary. Guidance from the British Society for Sexual Medicine notes that testosterone may be considered low if it falls below the normal range, or around 12 nmol/L in men who have symptoms suggestive of testosterone deficiency.
