TRT: Hormones play a major role in all aspects of a man’s metabolism. Overall feelings of vitality, performance and strength are effected by the dominance of testosterone. Testosterone levels as we age decline at an alarming rate. It’s been shown that average testosterone levels of a man have decreased by 1% per year since the 1980s. This is not just affecting middle aged men either, teenagers and even females are also being diagnosed with substantially low levels of testosterone. To make matters worse, a majority of the factors that are causing the decline, are not in our control. Environmental factors such as pollution causes reduced testosterone production in men and women. Exposure to human-made electromagnetic fields (EMF) has also been linked to reduced testosterone production, meaning the use of smartphones, tablets, and computers. The hormone testosterone is crucial for building muscle, strength and a healthy libido. What isn’t so well known is that testosterone is essential for optimal health and general well-being. The health consequences of low testosterone levels surpass your gym gains and bedroom activities. Low testosterone levels have been linked to increased body fat, a decrease in cognitive function effecting focus, cognitive sharpness, increased risk for depressive mental states, osteoporosis and bone loss, and increased cardiac risks such as heart disease. Not only are decreasing testosterone levels depriving you of improvements as an athlete, they are depriving you of your health. D-Aspartic Acid: D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) is an amino acid that is naturally found in the male human body inside the testes, pituitary gland and pineal glands. DAA manages hormone production in the body, making it an extremely important amino acid not just for athlete performance, but for everyone looking for a natural testosterone boost. D-Aspartic Acid supplementation increases natural testosterone production via the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). LH and FSH stimulate testosterone production in the testicles. DAA supplementation is particularly beneficial to older men since testosterone levels in males naturally start to decline after the age of 30 which can lead to a reduced libido, elevated body fat levels, a diminished recovery rate, and reduced capability to build muscle. A well known concern of older men is "andropause" and or "manopause" these are a result of lowered testosterone states and effect energy, drive, strength and sexual health. DAA supplements are not just for older men though. DAA supplementation is a safe option for men and women of all ages who are trying to boost energy as well s testosterone levels to improve strength, enhance libido, improve body composition and build muscle. DAA works as an intermediate in the brain to enhance energy, and produce a happy state of mind, this makes it a great supplement for both genders. Clinical research shows that daily DAA supplementation increases free testosterone levels 42% in just 12 days. Ballistic Labs DAA is pure, pharmaceutical grade, vegan and has no filler, dyes or sweeteners. It has a slightly bitter taste and dissolves instantly into water.
