ANDROPAUSE
Andropause is the natural process in which the sexual capacities of men decrease with age, as well as other organic functions.
This is due to low levels of testosterone in the body. This male hormone influences many physical functions, acting not only on the sexual organs, but also on the bones, muscles, brain, skin and hair.
It usually occurs when men reach 40 and up to 55 years of age, this phenomenon is also known as male menopause.

Causes of Andropause
At around 30 years of age, testosterone levels begin to drop by about 10% per decade.
Simultaneously, another factor in the body, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), increases. This is responsible for trapping much of the testosterone still circulating and prevents it from producing its effect on the body's tissues.
