Testosterone — Important To Good Health For Women
Although testosterone is usually considered to be the hormone for men, it is also a very important hormone for women. In fact, more and more benefits of testosterone on the health of women are being found by researchers.
Testosterone is made in a woman’s body in the same amount throughout the day. It is at its lowest the week before a woman’s period, and is at its highest level at ovulation.
One of the lesser known theories about testosterone and its role in pregnancy, states that around ovulation, estrogen [which helps to give women a clear mind] drops, and the level of testosterone increases causing a woman on occasion, to make bad choices in sexual partners due to the increased desire for sex around ovulation. This appears to be nature’s way of increasing the chance that a woman will get pregnant, and increases the chance of mankind surviving.
