Low testosterone is very common and currently affects about 4 to 5 million men in the U.S. This may not seem like a lot, but that’s because the majority of men affected are above the age of 40. About 19-39% of older men have Low T.
Low sex drive and weight gain are the 2 most common symptoms. Testosterone is one of the hormones that’s prominent in sexual development and drive. Without it, your body has no desire or ability for reproduction. On top of that, fat cells metabolize testosterone and having a lack of testosterone can lead to obesity. Low T can also lead to many other diseases and complications.
