What Age Should You Take Testosterone Boosters?

Written by Sarah Thompson - February 26, 2023

Testosterone boosters are substances, such as vitamins and minerals, used to increase the production of testosterone in the body. While testosterone levels naturally decrease with age, taking testosterone supplements is not necessarily recommended for everyone. The appropriate age to take testosterone boosters depends on a number of factors, including individual medical needs and overall health.

In general, it is usually best to wait until you reach an age where you have already experienced some natural decline in your testosterone levels before considering taking any type of supplement or hormone therapy. For adults aged 30-45 years old, the average range for free-testosterone concentration lies between 215-770 pg/mL ( picograms per milliliter). After 45 years old this range begins to gradually decline but doesn’t get severely impacted until after about 60 years old. It’s important to speak with your doctor about what “normal” levels are for your specific age group before making decisions about treatment options.

When considering whether or not to take a testosterone supplement, there are several factors that should be considered:

• Medical need: If you are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, loss of muscle mass or depression that could be associated with low testosterone levels, talk to your doctor about testing your hormone levels and discussing treatment options.
• Overall health: People who suffer from disorders such as diabetes, heart disease or kidney disease may have a harder time regulating their hormones due to medication they may already be taking. Therefore it is important that anyone looking into hormone therapy speak with their doctor first before starting any new regimen.
• Lifestyle: Eating right and exercising regularly can help improve natural hormone production in the body. Additionally many things such as stress and amount of sleep can play roles in hormone homeostasis so if someone has lifestyle habits that contribute to low hormone levels they should consider addressing these issues first before turning to supplements or other treatments.

In conclusion, while it is usually best to wait until some natural decline in hormones has occured before taking any kind of testosterome booster supplement; each person's situation may vary based on mental/physical health and lifestyle choices. Regardless of age; when contemplating hormone replacement therapy one should always consult with a physician beforehand regarding potential risks and benefits of starting such therapies at particular stages in life cycle in order to receive maximum benefit while also minimizing risk exposure.
