Do you think that testosterone is for sex only? When I was in the medical school I thought this way. And many people still think that testosterone is mainly for fun. But we are quickly learning it is for so much more.

A recent study from Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University of Greifswald, Institute for Community Medicine suggests that men with low testosterone levels do not live as long as those with a higher testosterone levels.  The numbers are impressive and the study involved almost 2000 men.  The result is impressive also: men with lower testosterone levels have 2.5 more chances of dying within 10 years than men with high testosterone levels.

Another study, presented at The Endocrine Society’s 90th Annual Meeting in San Francisco, showed that if a man has a low testosterone level, he would benefit from testosterone replacement therapy.

The bottom line is that bio identical hormone replacement therapy for men may prolong life.
