The basic purpose of this hormone is to boost your libido, provide energy and thus improve your immune system. It is produced in much larger quantities in men; it is produced in testes and in the adrenal glands which is located near the pancreas.
Testosterone is a natural steroid which is produced inside the body; it is derived from the healthy amount of cholesterol which is involved in the balanced diet.
