Malestrone (90)

As men age past 35 and into their 40’s, hormonal changes occur, that perceptibly inhibit physical, sexual and cognitive function. The outward appearance of a typical middle-aged male, show increased abdominal fat and shrinkage of muscle mass, indicating a hormone imbalance. Many experience a loss of well-being, sometimes manifesting as depression. This is a common psychological complication of hormone imbalance. Middle-aged men can experience depression, fatigue, abdominal weight gain, alterations in mood and cognition, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, prostate disease and heart disease directly related to hormone imbalances. The most significant hormone imbalance in aging men, is a decrease in free testosterone, while estrogen levels remain the same or increase precipitously. As men grow older, they experience a variety of disorders relating to the dual effects of having too little testosterone and excess estrogen. The result is a testosterone-estrogen imbalance, that directly causes many of the debilitating health problems, associated with aging. High serum levels of estrogen also trick the brain into thinking that enough testosterone is being produced, further slowing its natural production.
