read moreVirility – Managing Testoserone
The reason I like this supplement is that it has been shown to increase testosterone levels naturally. This is important for both men and women. Women especially can experience very low testosterone levels as they transition through menopause. Not only can they experience extreme fatigue from this but a whole host of other symptoms including heart palpitations. Sometimes prescribed testosterone is necessary but this is a great first step toward symptom resolution. Having a complete hormone panel done, like the one we offer on our website can...
