Testosterone is an important part of everyday bodily function, controlling muscle and bone growth, fat storage, red blood cell production, libido, and more. Normal testosterone levels can range anywhere from 300 to 1,000 ng/dL, and can only be accurately measured through a blood test administered by a specialist or doctor.
Low testosterone (medically referred to as testosterone deficiency or at times hypogonadism) is classified as anything below 300 ng/dL, and affects up to 40% of men.
The symptoms of testosterone deficiency are many and far-reaching. Most commonly reported are changes in mood and energy levels, intimacy desires, and body composition. That said, the effects of low testosterone levels can manifest as any of the following:
Physical Symptoms and Signs
Reduced energy
Reduced endurance
Diminished work performance
Diminished performance
Loss of body hair
Reduced beard growth
Fatigue
Reduced lean muscle mass
Obesity
Cognitive Symptoms and Signs
Depressive symptoms
Cognitive dysfunction
Reduced motivation
Poor concentration
Poor memory
Irritability
Sexual Symptoms and Signs
Reduced intimacy desires
Reduced sexual function
Because many of these symptoms are also symptoms of other conditions (e.g., depression), men suffering from these symptoms often don't realize they are affected by diagnosable testosterone deficiency. If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, it is important that you get tested to understand what exactly you are up against.

We are here to get you back to doing what you love to do, whatever that may be.
