Five percent of men between the ages of 40 and 50 and up to 70% of men over 70 experience hypogonadism. Low testosterone levels have been linked to decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, lack of energy, decreased physical strength and endurance, loss of height, decreased enjoyment of life, low mood, grumpiness, falling asleep after dinner, and decreased work performance. Some studies suggest that low testosterone may also contribute to cognitive decline.
Although sometimes considered a male hormone, a review study of the clinical effects of testosterone showed its positive association with sexual function and healthy libido in women.
Most circulating testosterone is bound to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Only a smaller amount of testosterone not bound to SHBG is considered bioavailable. TestoPlex Plus contains a blend of ingredients designed to support healthy androgen biosynthesis, which includes modulating the influence of SHBG.
