As men age, testosterone levels naturally go down.


Aging
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.
