Testosterone - Natural Human-Identical
Hormone Replacement Therapy

The ovaries continue to secrete testosterone following menopause, but there is a gradual decline as a woman ages.  This decline is not as rapid or substantial as the decline in level of estrogen and progesterone.

At physiological doses, testosterone has been shown to function like estrogens in reducing menopausal symptoms.  It can be converted to estradiol in the hormone cascade.

Natural Human Testosterone (when replacing inadequate testosterone levels) can:

1. Protect the Heart
2. Improve Mental Alertness
3. Make Bones Stronger (increase calcium retention)
4. Revive a Lagging Sex Life

Women receiving testosterone postmenopausal increases in:

1. Sexual Response
2. Frequency of Sexual Intercourse
3. Sexual Desire
4. Number of Sexual Fantasies
5. Level of Sexual Arousal

How do you know you need hormone replacement therapy?  Either your physician may order a blood serum test or you may choose to a saliva test yourself.

Saliva hormone tests reflect the tissue concentration of your hormones. Blood and serum tests contain the total hormone, but your tissue are only bathed with the active or effective fraction as found in saliva. Active fraction measurements are superior to blood and urine measurements both in diagnosis and treatment. For more information on saliva testing, please click here.
