Elevated Testosterone Level

Before we get into ways of raising testosterone levels, what are the risks of having too much testosterone? There are a few conditions to worry about.

The most well known side effect of high testosterone levels is rage. Some may refer to it as “roid rage.” Men with elevated testosterone levels are more likely to engage in risky behaviors. They may feel invincible. They might participate in activities that are likely to result in injury, smoke, drink, and take unnecessary risks.

Some dated studies have shown that men with elevated testosterone levels may be at a greater risk for prostate cancer and may experience weight gain. New research is indicating that is not the case. In fact, just ask yourself how many young men have prostate cancer. Thirty something year old men do not get prostate cancer and that is when men have high levels of the male hormone.

Women can suffer from negative side effects too. Women may experience excessive body hair growth, deepening of voice, acne, increased muscle mass, basically all the traits that make men more masculine. Women that had elevated testosterone levels while pregnant may give birth to underweight babies.

Despite these moderate risks, there are many great benefits to raising testosterone levels.
