The importance of testosterone for women

Although testosterone is often seen as a male hormone, it also plays an important role in the female body. While it can affect energy levels and mood, testosterone supplementation has been proven to improve libido. After all, reduced sexual pleasure can lead to stress and relationship problems. This is why, despite being present in smaller amounts than in men, testosterone is an essential hormone for women. 

Where is testosterone produced?

In women, testosterone is primarily produced in the ovaries and adrenal glands. The ovaries produce the largest quantity, while the adrenal glands produce a smaller amount. Additionally, testosterone can be converted from other hormones, such as androstenedione, in peripheral tissues. Testosterone production decreases with age, especially after menopause, contributing to certain menopause-related symptoms. 

What does testosterone do for you? 

Testosterone fulfils several important functions:

  • Muscle and bone health: It contributes to muscle mass and bone density.

  • Energy and cognitive functions: It plays a role in energy levels and can affect mental acuity. 

  • Libido: A healthy sex drive requires healthy testosterone levels. 

  • General vitality: A decrease in testosterone can lead to fatigue and reduced overall energy levels. 

Testosterone production gradually declines from the age of 30, and lower hormone levels during menopause can cause symptoms such as reduced libido, fatigue and mood swings. 


Customized medication: personalized testosterone dosage

Infinity Pharma offers customized medication, whereby testosterone is compounded in a personalized dosage. This is achieved through extemporaneous preparations, enabling us to address the unique hormonal requirements of each individual. Some of the advantages of this are: A treatment that is specifically tailored to your symptoms and hormone status, reduction of possible side effects through controlled, low dosages and administration forms ranging from oral medication to transdermal applications.

Prescription and administration are always under medical supervision

As testosterone affects the body's hormonal balance, treatment always begins under medical supervision.
