When Testosterone Levels Decrease, Sexual Dysfunction Isn’t The Only Result.

The chemical imbalance can lead to symptoms such as depression, fatigue and muscle weakness. But researchers specializing in male health and sexual function have reported that a combination of two safe natural metabolites - propionyl-L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine - are even more effective than testosterone in treating the depression, fatigue and sexual dysfunction that can be associated with male ageing.
It’s not that testosterone doesn’t work - in fact; the researchers reported that testosterone worked significantly better than a placebo. It’s just that the combination of “carnitines” worked even better. (And since they’re safe and effective alternatives to testosterone, the carnitines offer the perfect solution for men who have had prostate cancer and cannot take testosterone. More on that in paragraph three.)
The researchers randomly divided 120 men between the ages of 60 and 74 into three groups. The first group took 160mg of testosterone daily, the second group took 2 grams of propionyl-L-carnitine and 2 grams of acetyl-L-carnitine daily, and the third group took a placebo. Over the next six months, the men were given a variety of standardized tests.

The results showed that the men in both the testosterone group and the carnitines group had significant improvement in depression and fatigue.
