Testosterone Cream
Cantrell Drug Company offers compounded testosterone cream in a unique and
easy to deliver pump system. They use a versa base cream which is specially
designed cream to optimize the absorption of pharmaceuticals to ensure you
receive maximum benefit. The testosterone is usually ordered by a
Physician blended with Chrysin. Chrysin is a naturally occurring
isoflavone. It's extracted by chemical means from the plant Passiflora
coerulea. You can also find small amounts of chrysin in honeycombs.
What are the benefits of taking Chrysin?
Studies have shown that flavones, in particular chrysin,
have the ability to exert a large variety of beneficial and powerful effects
upon the body. Specifically, European studies have shown that after
consuming chrysin, levels of testosterone and blood serum increased by as
much as 30%.To understand how this happens, consider the following: There
are two major hormones in men and women - these are testosterone and
estrogen. Testosterone is the hormone dominant in males, with estrogen being
dominant in females. Estrogen is the primary signal to the pituitary gland
in the brain. Depending on your estrogen levels, the pituitary gland will
dictate the levels of testosterone produced in the body. The higher the
estrogen levels, the lower the amounts of testosterone that is produced.
This is how chrysin benefits you. By cutting down the conversion of
testosterone to estrogen, chrysin reduces the levels of estrogen in your
body and increases the levels of testosterone.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Many aging men with low testosterone report improved
energy levels, sex drive, and mood after testosterone treatment. A low
testosterone level by itself doesn't need treatment. Testosterone
replacement therapy can have side effects, and the long-term risks and
benefits aren't known. Only men with symptoms of low testosterone should
consider testosterone replacement. Talking with your doctor is the only way
to know if testosterone therapy is right for you.
Low Testosterone: Subtle Symptoms
The symptoms of low testosterone are
sometimes obvious, but can be subtle. Testosterone levels decline naturally
in men as they age over decades, and symptoms may appear slowly. Low
testosterone symptoms include:
- Low sex drive (libido)
- Erectile dysfunction
- Fatigue and poor energy level
- Difficulty concentrating
- Depression
- Irritability
- Low sense of well-being
If a man has symptoms of low testosterone and tests show
he has a low testosterone level, a doctor may suggest treatment. For
millions of men who have low testosterone levels but no symptoms, no
treatment is currently recommended.
Forms of Testosterone Supplements
Testosterone replacement therapy is
available in several forms. All can improve testosterone levels:
- Skin
patch (transdermal): Androderm is a skin patch worn on the arm or upper
body. It's applied once a day.
-
Gels: AndroGel and Testim come in packets of clear testosterone gel.
Testosterone is absorbed directly through the skin when you apply the
gel once a day. AndroGel also comes in a pump that delivers the amount
of testosterone prescribed by your doctor.
- Custom Compunded Testosterone based in a cream. Products added to
enhance testosterone or make testosterone more efficient.
- Mouth patch: Striant is a tablet that sticks to the upper gums above the
incisor, the tooth just to the right or left of the two front teeth.
Applied twice a day, it continuously releases testosterone into the
blood through the oral tissues.
- Injections and implants: Testosterone can also be injected directly into
the muscles, or implanted as pellets in the soft tissues. Your body
slowly absorbs the testosterone into the bloodstream.
Benefits of Testosterone Therapy
What can you expect from testosterone
treatment? It's impossible to predict, because every man is different. Many
men report improvement in energy level, sex drive, and quality of erections.
Testosterone also increases bone density, muscle mass, and helps improve
obesity and insulin sensitivity in some men.
Men also often report an improvement in
mood from testosterone replacement. Whether these effects are barely
noticeable, or a major boost, is highly individualized.
