Hate going to the dentist? Blame your dad. You’re more likely to fear the dentist if he freaks your father out, according to researchers at the University of Madrid.

They found that kids with dads who didn’t like the dentist were twice as likely to be fearful themselves compared to kids with moms who disliked the dentist. That’s not the only thing mom and dad passed on.

Here are four things your parents are secretly responsible for.

Penis Problems According to researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, penis size is up to 70 percent heritable—in rams at least. While nobody has studied the pass-down percentage in human men, researchers have studied premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction in identical and non-identical twins. The results? 30 and 42 percent of your risk for premature ejaculation and problems with maintaining your erection are caused by genetics, respectively. Go ahead, blame the big guy for your little man’s problems.

Athletic Ability It’s not your fault you’re not Olympic material. Your VO2 max—aka: your aerobic potential—is up to 83 percent heritable, according to a study published in the journal Physiological and Endocrinological Aspects in Pediatric Exercise Science. The good news: Your muscle strength is only 50 percent heritable. Even if dad isn’t built, you can still get ripped.

Who You Vote For Like father like son—at least when it comes to voting. Researchers at the University of California have shown that partisanship is up to 50 percent heritable. They believe the 7R variant of the dopamine receptor gene D4—which only some people have—is responsible. People who carry this gene and have a diverse friend group are likely to be up to four times as liberal (as measured on a four-point scale) than people without the gene.

Mental Health According to researchers at Stanford University, depression is caused by both environmental and genetic factors—split roughly 50-50. Researchers believe multiple genes that mom and dad pass down are responsible for depression. If you have two short copies of a gene called 5-HTT—a result of both parents having short copies—your body can’t produce all of the proteins required to regulate serotonin levels—a neurotransmitter involved with mood.

Testoril Testosterone Hormone Replacement for Men

Hormone Replacement for Men Between the ages of 40 and 50, men will begin to experience a decline in their hormone levels. First described in medical literature in the 1940's, this phenomenon is known as Andropause, often called “Male Menopause.”  Andropause is a result of low testosterone levels throughout your body. Symptoms of this condition include, a decrease in strength and endurance; a lack of energy and drive; a noticeable decrease in your sex drive; less frequent/strong erections; feeling sad and/or irritable, and feelings of depression just to name a few. All too often, men have been reluctant to admit that they’re experiencing these problems, and most family doctors, as skilled as they are, rarely consider hormone therapy, opting to tell their patients to accept these changes as a natural part of the aging process. But "Knowledge is Power" and now that you know what it is, you can do something about it www.testoril.com! Hormone replacement therapy can be highly effective for males suffering the symptoms of low testosterone. In numerous clinical studies, subjects have reported dramatic improvements in their symptoms; these include:     Improved sense of well-being  Increased mental & physical energy  A decrease in feelings of irritability, sadness, nervousness  Improved sleep quality Improved sex drive & sexual performance  Increased lean body mass A decrease in fat mass Increased muscle strength & endurance   Within three to six weeks of testosterone therapy, most men report improvements in energy, mood, sexual performance, confidence, self-esteem, and an overall improvement in their sense of well-being. www.testoril.com

How to Quickly Boost Your Testosterone

Y

ou're no longer a 'twenty-something.' And you may be noticing some changes.

Maybe it's taking longer to recover from workouts. Maybe you feel sluggish. Perhaps you're looking in the mirror and noticing that fat tends to 'stick' to your ribs.

Your sexual performance may be starting to decline and you—and your partner—want the 'youthful you' to return to the bedroom.

What's the issue?

It could be a decrease in testosterone.

Male testosterone production typically peaks at 30. After 30, natural testosterone production tends to decline by 1-3% a year. Maintaining an optimal testosterone level is vital for men who want to maintain strong overall health, libido, and well-being.

An article from Livestrong.com (which is run by the Lance Armstrong Foundation) states that declining testosterone levels can lead to a subtle yet gradual reduction in muscle density and strength.

And there's a reason: testosterone helps a man's body turn fat into energy. It's a simple formula: lower testosterone means less energy. So lower testosterone levels can change a man's body shape and rob a man of his natural energy.

Some men opt for costly testosterone replacement, strange workout supplements, or any number of other radical solutions.

It's important for men to understand they can boost their natural testosterone levels with the help of the right dietary supplement. One of the most exciting developments in this field has been made by a team of dietary supplement researchers based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

After extensive research, this team has developed an all-natural supplement that triggers your body into increasing its levels of free testosterone. The supplement has just been launched and is called Testoril. The key ingredient is Testofen® which is made from the rare Fenugreek plant. Testofen® is clinically proven to boost free testosterone levels, increase sex drive, and improve libido.

The proprietary Testoril Testosterone Complex includes five additional ingredients to complement and augment the effectiveness of Testofen®. Testoril is safe, effective, and can deliver stamina, strength, and libido improvements in just days. Although most users report seeing the best results after one to two weeks of usage.

Studies from Irvine, California and Queensland, Australia have shown strong and even spectacular results with the key ingredient in Testoril, Testofen®. Benefits include increased sex drive, improved libido, and enhanced muscle mass. These benefits come from safely boosting natural testosterone levels.

Testoril is manufactured in the United States under FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

(Cambridge) – Have you ever heard the old saying, “Youth is wasted on the young?” 

You might have scoffed at that idea years ago, but as the days, weeks, months, and years go by, do you find yourself agreeing with it more and more? If you’re like most men, you’re not enjoying life as you once did because of three major problems that get worse as you age:

• Loss of energy
• Loss of muscle mass
  
• Loss of testosterone

Our fathers and grandfathers had to sit back and watch as their youth slipped away. As desperately as they tried, there was nothing they could do to stop time from stealing their strength and intensity. Fortunately, scientists now believe they have a solution that helps men regain their youth.

The Alternative to Aging

New research from Cambridge shows that as a man’s body gets older, it produces less testosterone. It’s the loss of this essential hormone that makes men lose their edge and feel much older than they should. Until recently, the testosterone-boosting products on the market were unsafe, unproven, or too expensive for the average person to take them every day.

A new blend of natural ingredients has been formulated to increase testosterone levels, build muscle, and boost performance in men. This proprietary blend, called Testoril, includes TESTOFEN or fenugreek extract, ginseng, Tribulus terrestris, and cordyceps. According to the manufacturer, these ingredients work together to help you feel invincible and give you the confidence that all men want and all women notice.

The men who have tried it are reporting an incredible difference in the way they feel and how others treat them.

Vernon Davis, who earned an MVP award for his record-breaking performance in the 2012 divisional football playoff game in San Francisco, uses Testoril to improve his performance on and off the field. He recently told the media, “I feel invincible on and off the field with Testoril.”

Androgel Warnings Watchout

AndroGel 1.62% can transfer from your body to others. This can happen if other people come into contact with the area where the AndroGel 1.62% was applied.

Signs of puberty that are not expected have happened in young children who were accidentally exposed to testosterone through skin-to-skin contact with men using topical testosterone products like AndroGel 1.62%.

Women and children should avoid contact with the unwashed or unclothed area where AndroGel 1.62% has been applied. If a woman or child makes contact with the AndroGel 1.62% application area, the contact area on the woman or child should be washed well with soap and water right away.

To lower the risk of transfer of AndroGel 1.62%:

• Apply AndroGel 1.62% only to shoulders and upper arms, areas that will be covered by a short-sleeve T-shirt.
• Do not apply AndroGel 1.62% to any other parts of your body, such as your stomach area (abdomen), penis, or scrotum.
• Wash your hands right awaywith soap and water after applying AndroGel 1.62%.
• After the gel has dried, cover the application area with clothing until you have washed the application area well or have showered.
• If you expect another person to have skin-to-skin contact with your shoulders or upper arms, first wash the application area well with soap and water.

Stop using AndroGel 1.62% and call your healthcare provider right away if you see any signs and symptoms of puberty in a child, or changes in body hair or increased acne in a woman, that may have occurred through accidental exposure to AndroGel 1.62%.

The Testoril Formula

Testoril™ - Formulated With The Most Powerful Ingredients on Earth TESTOFEN® (Standardized Fenugreek Seed Extract) You are probably asking: “How do I safely increase my testosterone levels?” Well researched testosterone boosters, like Testoril™, can be the answer. The expert formulators of Testoril™ have used only premium, clinically supported, ingredients such as Testofen®. Testofen® has been clinically studied and can significantly increase your testosterone levels. To view the results of the latest clinical study of Testofen® please Click Here To Review This Clinical Study. Testoril™ is backed by smart science, not fly-by-night data. There is no reason to risk your health by using disreputable testosterone boosters with cheap ingredients. It’s just not worth it! Testofen® is a compound derived from fenugreek seeds said to boost a male's testosterone levels. Since testosterone plays a major role in muscle development, many individuals use products containing Testofen® to increase muscle mass. The rise in testosterone production is also said to bolster a male's libido improving erectile function in the process. The main ingredient of Testofen®, fenugreek extract, is a natural compound found in fenugreek. Fenugreek is one of several herbs traditionally used to improve lactation in women. The discovery of a new component in the seeds of the plant, however, has been found to be beneficial to testosterone production as well. The component, Fenuside, is a combination of several saponins that naturally stimulate the androgens inside the system. As a result, muscle mass and sexual functions in men are significantly boosted. Several tests were conducted on the effectiveness of Testofen®, with promising results. Subjects reported an increase of nearly 9% in their overall testosterone levels. More impressively, there was a reported average increase of more than 60% in the subjects' free testosterone levels. These large increases in testosterone can significantly improve an individual's muscle development. Inadequate levels of testosterone can lead to dystrophy, or shrinking of muscle tissue. In addition, testosterone plays a vital role in a male's sexual performance by directly stimulating the libido and also affects erectile function. These properties allow Testoril™ to be successfully marketed to both bodybuilders and males with erectile dysfunction.

Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine HCL) Some vitamins from the B complex group of vitamins can help to promote healthy testosterone. Vitamins B-5 and B-6 help to fight stress and also assist in balancing your hormone levels, according to Libido-Increasing-Foods. High levels of stress can contribute to a low sex drive. Vitamin B-6 itself is helpful in increasing hormone production in men. In addition, both B vitamins are essential for helping to increase libido. Another B vitamin called vitamin B-1 is important for energy production and to help metabolism fats and proteins. A deficiency of this vitamin can cause a decrease in your energy, resulting in an a reduced sex drive, which can affect testosterone production. Vitamin B-3 is also important as it helps to increase blood flow and promote production of sex hormones. Magnesium (as Magnesium Aspartate) A study published in a 2011 issue of “Biological Trace Element Research” found that taking about 10 milligrams of magnesium per kilogram of body weight with or without exercise caused testosterone levels to increase. However, the study found that magnesium supplement use in tandem with exercise caused a higher testosterone increase compared to those the test subjects who received supplementation without exercise. Zinc (as Zink Amino Acid Chelate) Zinc supplementation for a six-month period caused testosterone levels to increase, according to a study published in a 1996 issue of “Nutrition.” The results of the study showed that the testosterone increased among zinc-deficient elderly male test subjects. This suggests that zinc plays a role in regulating testosterone levels in normal males.

According to a recent study from the University of California at San Diego, men suffering from low testosterone may be at a 33 percent higher risk of dying over an 18-year period

According to a recent study from the University of California at San Diego, men suffering from low testosterone may be at a 33 percent higher risk of dying over an 18-year period. Though the study discovered a connection between low testosterone and mortality, the researchers cautioned that the association did not imply that one caused the other.  The report concluded that more research is needed in the field before more comprehensive conclusions can be drawn.

When a man experiences low levels of testosterone, it means that his "factory" producing the hormone is not working correctly.

When a man experiences low levels of testosterone, it means that his "factory" producing the hormone is not working correctly.  With decreased output, this factory – the testes – may begin to shrink and become soft.  Natural means can be used to boost testosterone production or men can undergo hormone replacement therapy, which can provide the body with the necessary chemicals.  Continued decrease in testosterone can do irreversible harm to the sexual organs, so symptoms should not be ignored.  For more information, see Testosterone.

While testosterone helps build muscle in men, a shortage of it can result in weight gains, especially in the midsection.

While testosterone helps build muscle in men, a shortage of it can result in weight gains, especially in the midsection.  The breasts, too, can increase in size if a man suffers from low testosterone.  If a man is experiencing these types of body changes and feels they are not lifestyle-related, he should talk to his doctor.

In order to build muscle, men need testosterone.

In order to build muscle, men need testosterone.

Flickr user Michael_Connell

In order to build muscle, men need testosterone.  So, in cases of reduced testosterone, men are prone to reductions in muscle mass.  Men need the hormone for muscle strength.  A 1993 study found that weightlifting, too, can naturally boost testosterone production in the body.  The study particularly notes that using heavier weights to work the biggest muscles – the quads, butt and lower back – can increase testosterone levels the most.

In addition to depression and fatigue, men with low testosterone may experience mood swings, including irritability and aggressive behavior.

In addition to depression and fatigue, men with low testosterone may experience mood swings, including irritability and aggressive behavior.  A New York Times piece debunks the myth of testosterone as the hormone of aggressive behavior; instead, testosterone levels help maintain a balance within a man's body.  Without the appropriate amount of testosterone, men can suffer from mood swings, including edginess and irritability.

Consistent fatigue or lethargy can be linked to hypogonadism, which causes low testosterone levels. Fatigue can also be associated with depression, another symptom of low testosterone.

In addition to helping to build muscle and bones during pubescent development, testosterone is also the primary male sex hormone.

Flickr user Unfurled

In addition to helping to build muscle and bones during pubescent development, testosterone is also the primary male sex hormone.  When the level of testosterone in the body is low, a man may experience reduced sex drive.  As men age, it is normal to have less interest in sex; however, it is abnormal to have no interest in sex.

The testes can be affected by some infectious diseases, including mumps.  If a man catches the disease early in his life, it could cause long-term problems for the production of testosterone.  Other infectious diseases that can impair testosterone production include tuberculosis and HIV.

If a man is undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, low testosterone is not an uncommon side effect

Flickr user Phil and Pam

If a man is undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, low testosterone is not an uncommon side effect.  In some cases, chemotherapy can damage the testes and can affect the levels of testosterone produced by the glands, leaving a man with a decreased amount of the hormone.  Often, a man with low testosterone as a product of one of these treatments will also be given a prescription for testosterone supplementation.

Testosterone helps build muscle in men and when testosterone levels decrease

Flickr user tobyotter

Obesity can cause a myriad of problems for men, including increased risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, among other conditions.  Another effect of obesity is a change in hormonal levels in the body.  Testosterone helps build muscle in men and when testosterone levels decrease, muscle mass decreases and fat deposits begin to accumulate.  Low testosterone levels in men can also lead to decreased sexual drive, low sperm count and problems with erections.  For more information, see Obesity Risks and Risk Factors.

Male hypogonadism is characterized by the failure to produce testosterone or a decrease in the production of testosterone.

Flickr user Parker Michael Knights

Male hypogonadism is characterized by the failure to produce testosterone or a decrease in the production of testosterone.  This occurs when the testes fail to function normally because of a genetic defect, illness or injury or because of the failures of another hormonal gland.  Whereas testosterone inhibits the growth of muscle and body hair, men with hypogonadism may experience late puberty (or not at all).  In adults, the condition may have symptoms of low sexual drive, potency, sperm production or overall low body strength.  For more information, see Testosterone.

Not all cases of low testosterone are a product of the body naturally malfunctioning

iStock.com

Not all cases of low testosterone are a product of the body naturally malfunctioning.  An injury to the testes, which produces the hormone, can also cause low testosterone.  If a man is experiencing the symptoms of low testosterone – low sex drive, fatigue, muscle loss, depression– he should consider being checked for an injury to his testes.

As men age, testosterone levels naturally go down.

Flickr user Creativity Timothy K Hamilton

As men age, testosterone levels naturally go down.  This process is sometimes referred to as the "male menopause" or andropause.  This process occurs when the amount of testosterone in the body decreases and production slows.  Most men lose 30 to 40 percent of testosterone between ages 48 and 70.  This process can lead to loss of muscle strength, increase in body fat and decreased sexual drive or functionality.

Testofen is a natural solution for promoting Healthy Free Testosterone levels and healthy libido and immune functions.

	Fenugreek is a well-known herb, containing a variety of compounds as active ingredients. It is an extremely versatile herb with multiple applications. This amazing herb is said to contain more than a 100 phytochemical constituents. Amongst them are a lot of Furostanol Saponins and Steroidal Saponins. Modern day life with its high levels of pressure, stress and pollution, saps the energy and vitality in our bodies. The first victim in our bodies seems inevitably to be Testosterone levels. Ageing, along with pressures and stress, reduces our body's capacity to produce Testosterone, leading to lowering of libido. Immune functions of the body also get affected. Testofen is a natural solution for promoting Healthy Free Testosterone levels and healthy libido and immune functions.  Fenugreek contains Protodioscin, Pseudo Protodioscin, Gracillin, Protogracillin, Diosgenin, Dioscin and many other saponins and sapogenins. Many of these other saponins are not identified yet. There is a huge amount of history, studies and references which have shown without doubt that in addition to qualities like healthy sugar support, lipid support, lactation support etc., Fenugreek also promotes healthy libido and testosterone functions. The libido function happens both for women and men and is well recorded. A lot of these saponins exist as saponin glycosides. Fenuside is a set of potent saponin glycosides unique to us which we have standardised, to give maximum benefits to users. We have done repeated studies and confirmed it's libido promoting properties. In addition to Testosterone support, it also seems to act like Testosterone by binding to the Testosterone receptor sites and creating Testosterone like activity. So it's activity seems two fold. Testosterone is not just like turning on a tap wherein you fill as much of Testosterone as you want. The body has a balancing mechanism and each human body has it's own threshold for basal Testosterone levels. Testofen™ helps promote healthy Testosterone levels. In addition, it seems to act like Testosterone to promote libido and muscle mass.
	Following are the studies done on TESTOFEN™ :
	1.] Animal Study : Testofen™ has shown remarkable results in animal studies, showing intracarvenous pressure increase leading to healthy erectile functions. It has demonstrated excellent results in animal studies for promoting healthy testosterone and Libido and Muscle Mass.
	2.] Human Clinical Study for Exercise Performance :
	Testofen™ has demonstrated the following in a double blind, randomised, placebo controlled human clinical study of 60 subjects
	TESTOFEN® group has demonstrated significant anabolic activity as evidenced by BUN reduction (p<0.05) compared to placebo. TESTOFEN® group has significant increase in Free Testosterone (p<0.05) compared to Placebo. TESTOFEN® group has not only compensated the loss of Immunity significantly compared to Placebo (p<0.003), but has also increased immunity. TESTOFEN® group has shown significant reduction in Serum Creatinine levels (p<0.02) compared to placebo signifying Creatine uptake and recycle in muscle cell. TESTOFEN® group has shown significant increase in Prolactin compared to Placebo (p<0.04). However this increase is within Physiological limits for men. TESTOFEN® has shown significant decrease in body fat compared to baseline. TESTOFEN® has maintained Muscle size despite maintaining weight and reducing fat.
	3.] Human Clinical Study for Adult Male Libido :
	In a 6 week double blind, randomised, placebo controlled clinical study conducted in Australia in the year 2009 for 60 healthy adult males, a formulation containing Testofen as a major active ingredient with Zinc, Magnesiun and Vitamin B6 added for vitamin and mineral support showed statistically significant increase in active group for sexual function, performance and satisfaction.
