Testo-Plus™ consists of a unique blend of herbs, including Siberian Ginseng and Panax Ginseng, which help support mental and physical performance after stress.
Research has shown that stress can lower testosterone levels in both men and women in a number of ways:
1. Stress increases oxidative damage thereby decreasing the production of steroid hormones.
2. The stress hormone, cortisol, inhibits the secretion of testosterone.
3. Stress inhibits the synthesis and release of luteinizing hormone (LHRH), which decreases the production of luteinizing hormone (the hormone responsible for testosterone production in the testicle).
4. Stress decreases blood flow to the testicles, which lowers testosterone levels.
5. Stress has a negative effect on norepinephrine, which is involved in the production of LHRH in men and women as well as in the synthesis of testosterone in men.
Siberian ginseng improves mental and physical performance after exercise by regulating the signaling of hormones involved in stress responses, including cortisol and norepinephrine. Thus, it promotes the proper functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which controls various homeostatic processes in the body. Similarly, Panax ginseng supports the body's response to stress and fatigue. It is also a supportive therapeutic method for promoting healthy glucose levels. It appears that ginseng's actions in the body are due to a complex interaction of elements, including ginsenosides.
