Yes, women have it too! It drives libido, bone density, and muscle mass.
The Role of Testosterone in Women
While often called the "male" hormone, testosterone is essential for female health. It is produced in both the ovaries and the adrenal glands.
What it does for you:
- Libido: It is the primary driver of sexual desire.
- Energy: Helps maintain physical stamina and mood.
- Skin & Hair: In the right amounts, it supports skin health; in excess, it causes acne and hirsutism.
The Mid-Cycle Spike
Just before ovulation, your body released a small surge of testosterone. This is biological design at its finest: the hormone that makes you more extroverted and increases your libido peaks exactly when you are most fertile.
