The Importance of Free Testosterone

Testosterone is the major male sex hormone, but not all of it is available for use in the body. Free testosterone is the portion that is not bound and can be used by the body. It is a smaller portion of the total testosterone; however, it is the key player in body.

It is, therefore, important to consider free testosterone levels before and during therapy. 

Benefits of Free Testosterone

Muscle Growth and Strength – High levels of free testosterone mean better muscle development, as adding and keeping lean muscle mass becomes easier. It also enhances muscle regeneration and strength.

Fat Loss – It assists in the regulation of metabolism and fat storage, preventing weight gain and promoting a slim and fit body.

Energy Levels and Stamina – Optimal free testosterone levels are advantageous in enhancing stamina, fighting fatigue, and improving physical performance, which in turn results in higher energy levels throughout the day.

Sex Drive and Performance – It is closely involved in desire, erection, and sexual output, meaning it plays a role in both the desire for and the actual performance of the sex act.

Mood and Cognitive Function – Optimal levels of free testosterone act as a regulator of mood, attention, and mental processing; it also helps prevent depression and dementia.

Heart Health – Research has indicated that optimal testosterone levels are good for the heart by enhancing blood flow and reducing inflammation.

Free testosterone levels can be affected by age, lifestyle, diet, and other medical conditions. Optimal free testosterone levels can be supported by hormone replacement therapy, strength training, eating a balanced diet, minimizing stress, and getting enough sleep.
