Testosterone is vital to a man's physical strength, body composition, sex drive and mood. But as men get older, they naturally produce less of it. Life Extension's bestselling Testosterone Elite is a non-hormonal dietary supplement that encourages healthy testosterone production in men using clinically studied proprietary ingredients-and it's recently been updated to include Bio-Luteolin™, which is up to 14x times more bioavailable than regular luteolin supplements* and has been shown in a clinical trial to promote healthy testosterone levels.

Like with men, testosterone boosts sex drive and aggression inwomen, and limited studies show it may support bone health, as well as contribute to mood and energy. Testosterone production tends to peak in women'slate teens and early 20s, and slowly declines thereafter; after menopause, itslevels are halved. Add it all up, the New York Times reports in a new feature, and many are framing testosterone supplements as something akin to an off-label fountain of youth.

Testosterone plays a crucial role in maintaining strength, energy, and overall vitality. While many associate testosterone solely with masculinity, it is a hormone that affects both men and women. In men, healthy levels are essential for muscle growth, bone density, red blood cell production, libido, and mood regulation. In women, testosterone supports energy balance, reproductive health, and lean muscle. Low levels can contribute to fatigue, mood swings, and decreased overall performance.

Prof Ian Broadley has warned that athletes competing in the Enhanced Games may face serious health risks, including loss of libido and heightened chances of heart attacks.
