Hormone Power
30 May 2012As we age, our natural production of testosterone drops. This drop may not be seen readily unless your doctors know what they are looking for. What’s worse is this may be the cause for the tiredness, loss of strength and libido, and general uneasiness that many of us experience as we grow older. For instance, men entering andropause or their “mid-life crisis” may have relatively constant concentrations in their total testosterone levels, but their free testosterone may decline as much as 40 percent within a few short years. That “free” testosterone is the portion available for the body to use, sometimes referred to as bio-available. The other portion of testosterone is inert, or “bound,” due to its ties with other proteins in the blood.
Testosterone levels may also be depleted by the stress in our lives which competes for the available Pregnenolone, converting it to cortisol rather than allowing it to eventually become testosterone. As this this happens, our estrogen concentrations are dramatically increasing due to poor diet, inactivity and environmental factors beyond our control. Once estrogen becomes dominant, insulin becomes less sensitive, thyroid and metabolic functions slow, and adipose tissue begins to accumulate around our body. Then we get the tell-tale signs of andropause, which include depression, loss of self-confidence, loss of athletic ability and muscle. We also begin to see cognitive dysfunction, including forgetfulness and inability to concentrate, anxiety, mood swings, loss of appetite, and loss of sexual function. All this does not even begin to account for the potential health problems such as atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, prostate cancer and BPH, impotence, obesity, type 2 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
This is why Hormone Power was created… to reinvigorate the body, mind, and soul. Hormone Power’s patented proprietary blend of phyto-nutrients work cohesively to increase testosterone levels and undo the effects and causes of estrogen dominance. First, Hormone Power helps to preserve what testosterone the body does produce by partially inhibiting the enzymes responsible for its conversion the estrogen and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In addition to limiting the body’s ability to produce estrogen, Hormone Power may also block estrogen at the receptor. Circulating estrogen is then unable to exert its full effects upon the body and is eventually eliminated. As estrogen levels begin to decline, insulin regains some sensitivity, T3 is freed up to improve thyroid and metabolic functions, and fat cells reduce their estrogen potentiating effects. The blocking of estrogen receptor sites also engages the hormonal negative feedback loop which signals the hypothalamus and pituitary to begin producing the hormones and enzymes which will later convert to Pregnenolone and eventually testosterone. Returning for a moment to the discussion of “free” hormone content, the latest studies regarding Hormone Power has shown a more than 40 percent increase in free testosterone accompanied by a 15 percent to 20 percent decrease in free estrogen in the first week.
So you ask how does this reinvigorate the body, mind, and soul? Simply stated by taking Hormone Power you increase your testosterone levels which help to pack on muscle, melt away fat, increase your alertness and energy levels. The added testosterone enhances your sense of well being, improves mental clarity, memory retention and the ability to concentrate. When you look better, feel better and think better, you are bound to be more assertive and confident. Although you will never be 20 again, there is no reason why you can’t feel and look as good, maybe just a little more distinguished.
