Although testosterone is widely known as the male hormone, it is less well known that it is also a critically important hormone for women. There is a great deal of misunderstanding and confusion about the role that testosterone plays in the physical and emotional health of women. There are groundless fears that testosterone will somehow "masculinize" women, causing them to grow facial hair, become overly aggressive, and, in sum, look and behave too much like the stereotypical male. If male researchers had difficulty accepting the reality that men experience a decline in testosterone as they age, a similar resistance seems to be in force when it comes to acknowledging that women produce testosterone in the first place!

This resistance is not rooted merely in the perceived close association between testosterone and male development and behavior. It also has to do with the fact that testosterone is so closely identified with sexuality and lust. Testosterone does control the sex drive for both men and women.

It is time to shatter the myth that testosterone is exclusively a male hormone. It is not. Testosterone is produced in both the ovaries and adrenal glands of women, just as a small amount of estrogen, the so-called female hormone, is produced in men. Although women make only about one-tenth of the testosterone that men do, it is nevertheless an important hormone for normal female sexual development and performance. In fact, puberty and the onset of menstruation in females are triggered by the increase in the production of testosterone and DHEA by the adrenal glands. This process is known as adrenarche. In women, testosterone levels fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, rising just before ovulation, creating a surge in libido.

TESTOSTERONE IN WOMEN

As women age, there is a dramatic drop in the production of testosterone. By age forty, a woman has half the amount of testosterone that she had at age twenty. One factor contributing to this decline is that at this age a woman's adrenal glands are pumping out less DHEA (DeHydroEpiAndrostenadione- a precursor of testosterone). DHEA is broken down into a small amount of testosterone when it is metabolized, and for women this is a main source of testosterone. By the time they reach menopause, many women are testosterone deficient.

In women, as in men, the extent of the drop in testosterone varies from individual to individual, and while some women may not experience adverse symptoms from the decline in testosterone, others will feel the loss more acutely. In most cases, if a woman feels that she needs testosterone after menopause, she will have to raise the subject with her doctor.

There is nothing unseemly, unnatural, or otherwise unsound about freeing testosterone in women if they need it. Just as boosting the free testosterone levels can reinvigorate men, it can be a boost to women.

Women with better levels of free testosterone are more interested in sex, enjoy intercourse more, and even have more orgasms.

Testosterone can be beneficial for many women who experience a decrease in sexual desire around menopause.

A woman's emotional well-being - feeling good about herself, and more important, feeling "like herself"- is critical for good mental and physical health. If a woman finds that a lack of libido, due to low testosterone, is ruining her sex life, adding SWISSOATS A111® to her lifestyle for even a short period may make a real difference in helping to restore her interest in sex and her ability to enjoy it.

Some testosterone is necessary to help restore youthful levels. For many women, a small amount of testosterone can make a big difference. SWISSOATS A111® does exactly this.

Good health exists in simply following nature's blueprint by restoring the natural youthful balance of estrogen and testosterone that women lose after menopause. You can now restore this balance with SWISSOATS A111®, the health supplement that naturally helps your body release its OWN testosterone.

It is important to fully understand that SWISSOATS A111® is not a testosterone replacement product nor does it contain testosterone. SWISSOATS A111® actually helps you to release the free testosterones that are bounded to other proteins in your body as you age, thereby leading to improved sexual health, enhanced repair of body tissues, anti-aging, increase in energy levels, and a more positive, motivated state of mind.
