What Are Androgenic Hormones?
Androgenic hormones, also referred to as androgens or testoids, are a family of sex hormones that promote male attributes. Most androgenic hormones are steroid hormones that are naturally produced by the human body, but they can also be synthetically created. These hormones stimulate the formation of the male testes and the production of sperm. They also promote greater muscle mass and reduced body fat, and influence certain areas of human behavior, such as sex drive and aggression. Women also produce androgenic hormones, but most of these are converted to estrogens by the body.
