Decreased strength/stamina

As you grow older, losing strength is to be expected. It’s a natural part of our body’s aging process. However, if you reaching a limit to the growth of your strength potential, or you notice a significant loss of strength despite being active, it could be a sign of Low Testosterone. As the hormone that builds muscle mass in men, testosterone plays a crucial role in your level of strength, as well as things like endurance and overall energy. Studies have shown that a lack of testosterone leads to decreased muscle mass or function, which accelerates aging and leads to loss of strength earlier in life. Having Low T in your twenties, thirties or forties can make you feel more like a man in his seventies or eighties.

For some men, Low T is something they cannot help; it can impact even the most active man at any age in his life, afflicting everything from his mood to his sex drive to his overall stamina. The best way to fix it is testosterone replacement therapy provided by SynergenX. When you fail to exercise and weight train regularly, your muscle mass – as well as your testosterone levels – will simply decrease on their own. That’s why doctors always promote a healthy, active lifestyle in men of any age.

The reason Low T causes loss of strength

Testosterone plays a key role in keeping male bodily systems sustainable and efficient, including red blood cell production, fat distribution, and, of course, muscle mass. At a certain point in a man’s life, testosterone production begins to slow down, usually at a rate of 1 percent per year. This is a natural process that all men experience. The older you get, the harder it is to increase and maintain muscle size.

Most men can and should accept this inevitably, but others – particularly those who are on the younger side and are alarmed by their decreased strength – should explore how testosterone replacement therapy can fix things. TRT can help you with this situation in two ways: by slowing down the rate of testosterone deficiency as you age naturally, or by increasing testosterone after a sudden loss. Either approach ensures that you will not have to worry about decreased muscle mass before you are ready, or before an age where loss of strength is normal and natural.

Reduced muscle mass

According to Harvard Medical School, men can lose 30% of their muscle mass during their lifetime. The important thing to remember, though, is that losing muscle mass does not mean it’s gone forever. That’s where testosterone comes in. For men experiencing a decrease in stamina, increasing testosterone levels as you age can decrease the rate that your body weakens, preserving your strength in addition to your vitality and energy.

This approach, combined with a solid exercise plan and healthy diet, will help you maintain your strength well into your golden years. Age-related lack of stamina does not come with a diagnosis, and it effects all people in one way or another. But keeping active and monitoring yourself for Low T will help your muscles remain strong and flexible for longer periods of time.

What causes body weakness?

In some cases, body weakness can be brought on by pre-existing conditions. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider in case a pre-existing condition is also impacting your testosterone levels. If Low T is present, consider testosterone replacement therapy from SynergenX, which will help you regain everything from strength and stamina to vitality and sex drive.

Building muscle with Low Testosterone

While more challenging, you can still build muscle mass even if you are a man experiencing age-appropriate Low Testosterone, or if you are a younger man who simply needs to switch up his lifestyle in order to increase testosterone. The option to begin TRT, will certainly ease in the process of gaining muscle mass.
