What is Testosterone?
Testosterone is a hormone that is produced by the human body and is important for the development and maintenance of male characteristics.
It plays a key role in the growth and development of the male reproductive system, as well as muscle mass, bone density, and body hair.
Testosterone is also involved in the production of red blood cells and the regulation of mood and energy levels.
