What is Androstenedione (andro)?
Andro is converted directly from DHEA and then into testosterone or estrogen. In men and in postmenopausal women it is the major source of the estrogen Estrone. In men andro is required for the growth and maturation of the male sex organs and growth in muscles. In general, testosterone levels start to decline in the mid-twenties often resulting in fatigue, loss of muscle mass, bone density, depression and low sex drive. When supplementing with andro, testosterone levels are boosted resulting in increase energy, vitality, restored libido, increase muscle growth, and a sense of well-being.
