Effectiveness
How Testred Affects PatientsTestosterone is a hormone produced in the testes of males and the ovaries, adrenal glands, and other tissues in females. It is an important part of health and wellbeing, helping to boost libido, energy, immune system, and guard against osteoporosis. Males generally produce 20 times as much testosterone as females.
How Testred works in the bodyTestosterone works in the body by activating androgen receptors, which are molecules that help to regulate protein production and gene activity. Testosterone is converted into a stronger form, dihydrotestosterone, which binds even more strongly to androgen receptors. This binding triggers a change in the receptor complex, which allows it to enter the nucleus of the cell and bind to specific parts of the DNA. This binding influences how certain genes are expressed, resulting in the testosterone effects in the body.
