Testosterone
Testosterone, also commonly called as the male hormone, is essentially found in males and in much smaller quantities in females. It plays an important role in the growth phase of the male body and is responsible for maturing of male reproductive organs, development of masculine features (facial hair etc.), distribution of muscle mass and regulation of metabolism. In females, it influences distribution of muscle mass, fat and growth of red blood cells. Excess levels of testosterone is related to development of clots inside the body due to increased amounts of red blood cells. Reduced levels of testosterone can lead to loss of lean muscle mass, erectile dysfunction and low libido.
Cortisol
Cortisol, commonly known as the "stress hormone," is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It plays a critical role in a wide range of vital bodily functions. It is most notably involved in our body's response to stress, hence its nickname, but it's also integral to functions such as metabolism, inflammation reduction, and immune response.
Cortisol helps regulate energy by selecting the right type and amount of substrate (protein, fat, or carbohydrate) that is needed by the body to meet the physiological demands that stress places on it. Additionally, cortisol supports the body during stress by maintaining fluid balance and blood pressure, while also suppressing the immune system's response to keep inflammation down.
While cortisol is essential for health, imbalanced levels—either too high or too low—can cause problems. Chronic high cortisol can lead to symptoms like weight gain, high blood pressure, and poor sleep. Conversely, low levels can lead to issues such as fatigue, dizziness, and weight loss. Thus, monitoring cortisol levels can provide valuable insight into your overall health.
Have you been feeling any of these symptoms lately?
The Testosterone Blood Test is suitable for individuals experiencing one or more of the following symptoms:
1. Lower/reduced lean muscle mass
2. Fatigue
3. Erectile dysfunction
4. Hypertension
5. Increased aggression
6. High levels of libido
Imbalance in testosterone levels is detrimental to health for both genders
The Testosterone Blood Test is essential to know the levels of testosterone in the body. The blood test sample will detect the amount of testosterone and let the individual know if it is within the safe limits. Lower testosterone levels make a person passive and weak; high testosterone levels are associated with hypertension which is not good for the heart.
Experts Opinion on Testosterone Home Tests
