Testosterone

Testosterone is a naturally occurring hormone and the primary male sex hormone responsible for regulating muscle growth, bone density, fat distribution, and sexual function. In medical use, synthetic testosterone is prescribed to treat conditions such as low testosterone levels (hypogonadism), delayed puberty, and muscle-wasting diseases. It is also widely used by athletes and bodybuilders to enhance muscle mass, strength, and performance.

Testosterone is available in different forms, including injections, gels, patches, and oral tablets. It boosts protein synthesis, nitrogen retention, and red blood cell production, promoting faster recovery and increased endurance. However, misuse can lead to side effects such as acne, hair loss, water retention, mood swings, high blood pressure, and suppression of natural testosterone production. Long-term abuse may also cause cardiovascular issues, liver strain, and gynecomastia. Proper dosing, post-cycle therapy, and medical supervision are crucial to minimize health risks and maintain hormonal balance.
