AndroGel Review Summary
------------------------------------------------------

AndroGel is a male enhancement product advertised as “the number one-prescribed testosterone replacement therapy.” The product is designed to increase testosterone levels in men suffering from symptoms of sexual dysfunction. Symptoms of low testosterone levels include decreased libido, fatigue and depression, as well as erectile dysfunction.

This formula is advertised as an easy-to-use, quick-drying, odorless gel for men with low testosterone levels. We will look more closely at the formula used in this prescription medication below.

Ingredients at a Glance
------------------------------------------------------

The active ingredient in the formula for AndroGel is the male hormone testosterone, supposedly the same type of testosterone that is produced in the body. Additional ingredients include ethanol, sodium hydroxide and isopropyl myristate.

We will take a closer look at the active ingredient below.

Ingredients in Focus
------------------------------------------------------

Testosterone is the male sex hormone that is responsible for regulating the libido and also plays a role in energy levels and immune function.

It is not clear from what source the testosterone used in this formula is derived from.

As men age, testosterone levels naturally decrease, starting as young as age 25 and may decline by 10% every decade. While all men are affected differently, this depletion could be particularly troublesome for athletes and body builders who want to continue increasing strength and muscle mass at the same rate.

Use of this product could cause several side effects for some people, according to the warning posted at the website. These include acne, prostate disorders, skin irritation and impaired urination.

Lifestyle Benefits
------------------------------------------------------

The depletion of testosterone production in males has also been linked to symptoms of impotency, so using a product such as this may help increase sex drive as well. However, the main purpose of the formula is to increase testosterone levels, so for men concerned with other aspects of sexual dysfunction, this product will not be very beneficial.

To use AndroGel, men are required to first get a doctor’s prescription. The product comes in the form of gel that must be pumped into the hands on a daily basis. While the gel is only used once a day, the number of pumps varies according to the prescribed dosage. It is reported that the gel should be applied to the upper arms, shoulders and stomach area; after application, hands should be washed and a shirt should be worn in order to cover up the gel and prevent spreading the medication to others.

Men may be interested in seeking herbal supplements as an alternative to prescription formulas. Tribulus Terrestris is a potent plan extract thought to improve and restore libido, prolong the duration of an erection and support overall reproductive health in men. Use of this herb has been clinically shown to increase testosterone levels, and it is often included in formulas designed to treat symptoms of erectile dysfunction.

Positives

•Ingredients are listed
•Website lists results of a clinical trial

Negatives

•Product requires a doctor’s prescription
•Use of product could cause side effects for some

Final Thoughts
------------------------------------------------------

Since erectile dysfunction is often caused by low testosterone levels, and many men are afflicted by this problem, there are many treatment options currently available. These range from prescription formulas, like AndroGel, to over-the-counter products that generally contain natural, herbal ingredients. While some men may feel more comfortable with a doctor’s prescription, they should be aware that prescription medications tend to have more side effects than natural formulas and are generally more expensive.

As discussed, Tribulus Terrestris is an herb that is widely used for helping to increase testosterone levels in men; there are no side effects associated with use of this herb, and it is available in different herbal blends. By using this herb, men can gradually restore testosterone production to normal levels, without the need for taking a supplement on a daily basis permanently. For long-term results for sexual dysfunction and enhancing performance, men may be interested in seeking products containing this herb.
