Testosterone is a hormone in men and  primarily made by testicles. Women’s ovaries also make Testosterone, though in much smaller amounts. 

As men age, their testosterone levels begin to decline. Experts believe that 1 in 4 adult male suffer from Low T.

Common symptoms of low testosterone include fatigue, erectile dysfunction, low libido, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, and depression.
