Given that testosterone plays such varied and essential roles in a woman's body, it is not surprising that when testosterone production begins to decline, women will experience a variety of physical and psychological changes, including loss of libido, depression, and bone loss. Keep reading to learn about the other symptoms of testosterone fluctuation.

In women, only a very small percentage (about one percent) of produced testosterone actually flows freely through the bloodstream. Unusually elevated levels of circulating testosterone will result in masculine characteristics.

Symptoms of Elevated Testosterone:

Increased body and facial hair
Acne
Hair loss (scalp)
Irregular periods, lack of ovulation (anovulation)
Weight gain, obesity

In the years leading up to and following menopause, women will experience significantly decreased levels of testosterone, which will result in the following symptoms.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone:

Loss of libido
Energy loss
Depression
Bone loss
Loss of muscle mass

Healthy levels of testosterone hormones are clearly essential for good health. Fortunately, several solutions do exist for stabilizing hormones at normal levels. Keep reading to learn more about the most effective methods of balancing hormonal levels.

Testosterone possible trigger for depression

Although testosterone is typically thought of as a male hormone, the hormone also plays an essential role in women's health. However, augmented levels of testosterone in women can result in serious physical and psychological conditions, including mood disorders like depression.

Keep reading to learn about the most effective treatments for testosterone deficiency, including lifestyle changes, alternative treatments, and medical procedures.

Treating Testosterone Deficiency with
MacaActive Supplements

Testosterone hormones play an essential role in several areas of the body, and as hormonal levels decline with age, the health implications can be significant. As women begin to notice the symptoms of testosterone deficiency, they may want to consider taking steps to stabilize their hormonal production.

Today, there are three effective ways to normalize hormonal levels: lifestyle changes, alternative medicine and drugs & surgery.

Lifestyle Changes: Lifestyle changes (such as an improved diet and increased exercise) are vital for overall health and for alleviating the symptoms of hormonal balance, but lifestyle changes alone will not have a significant impact on hormonal production. Most women will want to consider the next level of treatment, alternative medicine, which has proven to be excellent for treating testosterone deficiency in a safe and natural way.

Alternative medicine: There are two types of herbal supplements for improving low hormonal levels: those containing phytoestrogenic herbs, and those containing non-estrogenic herbs. Phytoestrogenic herbs (like Black Cohosh) are filled with phytoestrogens, which are similar to estrogens. They can increase low estrogen levels by replacing some of the missing estrogen hormones. This isn't the best solution, however, because your body will become less responsive to producing estrogen on its own, causing a further decrease in body-own hormone levels. Unlike phytoestrogenic herbs, non-estrogenic herbs don't contain estrogen, but they nourish the hormonal glands to work more efficiently. This ultimately results in balancing not only estrogen, but other necessary hormones, as well, including testosterone. Using non-estrogenic herbs is one of the safest and best ways to treat hormonal imbalance naturally.

An excellent example of a safe and effective non-estrogenic herb for testosterone deficiency is herbal MacaActive. What makes MacaActive so special is its ability to balance hormonal levels in women by nourishing the hormonal glands. In this way, it alleviates most disorders related to hormonal imbalance.

Drugs and Surgery: This level of treatment has the highest risk and often the highest cost. The most common drug therapy for treating hot flashes in the US is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). There's no doubt that this is the quickest and strongest way to combat hormonal imbalance. Unfortunately, it entails serious side effects and increases the risk of different types of cancer in women. If you still want to consider this approach, see your doctor to learn more about what this treatment option involves.

A safe way for balancing hormones:
Non-estrogenic herbs are the most effective solution for treating testosterone deficiency.

MacaActive is an excellent non-estrogenic herb. It's simple: rather than putting hormones from the outside into your body artificially, MacaActive stimulates your hormone glands into producing the necessary hormones naturally. This is what makes MacaActive supplements so unique.
