Men's health problem caused by low testosterone 男性健康问题,因睾酮水平低所引起

Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group and is found in mammals, reptiles, birds, and other vertebrates. In mammals, testosterone is primarily secreted in the testes of males and the ovaries of females, although small amounts are also secreted by the adrenal glands. It is the principal male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid.
 
In men, testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as the testis and prostate as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle, bone mass and the growth of body-hair. In addition, testosterone is essential for health and well-being as well as the prevention of osteoporosis.
 
On average, an adult human male body produces about ten times more testosterone than an adult human female body, but females are more sensitive to the hormone.

Testosterone in men's health  
1. Testosterone is a hormone helps in building male's bone, increase bone density, bone mineral and prevent osteoporosis.
2. Testosterone able to increase the number of red blood cells and provide oxygen supply thus enhance overall vitality. 
3. Testosterone able to increase muscle strength, muscle fiber diameter and improves blood sugar level, lower blood pressure and increase insulin sensitivity thus improves muscle and body fat. 
4. Testosterone helps to improve sexual health, lower cholesterol and body fat and increase muscle strength.
5. Testosterone significantly enhance body High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C), or 'good' cholesterol thus helps to maintain healthy heart.
6. Brain function. Testosterone helps to improve memory and reduce anxiety and anger. 

Testosterone in women's health  Female body testosterone level is about 10% of men. Although is just 10% of testosterone yet contributing big impact to female health.  Testosterone is one of the hormone needed in women's health, just like estrogen and progestrogen.   

1. Testosterone helps to improve women's mental condition and health. Low testosterone level might lead to depression, osteoporosis, low libido and increase of body fat.  
2. Increase of testosterone level improves sexual health, ease menopausal symptoms thus significantly increase women's mood, libido and health.
3. Able to improve aging symptoms such as osteoporosis, atherosclerosis and may increase bone density and prevent breast cancer.
 
Symptoms of low testosterone includes:
  • Erectile dysfunction (problems with erections)
  • Loss of libido (low sex drive)
  • Mood disturbance, including depression, irritability and feeling tired
  • Loss of muscle size and strength
  • Osteoporosis (bone thinning)
  • Increased body fat
  • Difficulty with concentration and memory loss
  • Sleep difficulties

睾酮(又称睾固酮、睾丸素、睾丸酮或睾甾酮)是一种类固醇荷尔蒙,由男性的睾丸或女性的卵巢分泌,肾上腺亦分泌少量睾酮。它是主要的男性荷尔蒙及同化激素。不论是男性或女性,它对健康都有着重要的影响,包括增强性欲、力量、免疫功能、对抗骨质疏松症等功效。据统计,成年男性分泌睾酮的份量是成年女性的分泌量的20倍。


睾酮素对男性健康的几大影响  


1. 睾酮素是建造男性骨骼的荷尔蒙,可增加骨质密度、骨骼的矿物质,预防骨质疏松。
2. 增强整体活力,因睾酮素可增加红细胞数目,从而能提供运输氧气的服务。
3. 有效改善肌肉与肥胖。因为睾酮素能增加肌肉强度与肌肉纤维的直径,并可改善血糖量,降低血压并增加胰岛素的敏感性。
4. 改善性方面的健康,亦能降低胆固醇与体脂肪,提升肌肉强度。
5. 帮助维持心脏方面的健康,因为睾酮素可以很明显地提升身体的高密度蛋白(优良的)胆固醇量。
6. 脑部功能,睾酮素能改善记忆力与空间能力,并可以减轻焦虑与怒气。


睾酮素对女性健康的几大影响
  
女性机体内的睾酮素水平大约是男性的10%。仅仅这10%的睾酮素就足以对女性机体的健康产生重大影响。像雌激素和孕激素一样,睾酮素是女性健康所必需的激素之一。


1. 睾酮素对女性精神状态和心理健康方面有显著的改善作用,因为睾酮素过低,可导致机体产生抑郁症,骨质疏松,性欲减退及脂肪增加。
2. 睾酮素的增加可改善性方面的健康,缓解绝经期症状,使女性的心情,性欲及健康感明显提高。
3. 可改善一些相关的衰老症状,比如骨质疏松,动脉硬化,并可增加骨骼密度,预防乳腺癌。


睾酮水平低的征兆如下:
  • 勃起障碍
  • 性欲低
  • 情绪问题如抑郁、烦躁、疲累
  • 肌肉松弛
  • 骨骼疏松
  • 身体脂肪增加
  • 集中力减低,记忆力衰退
  • 睡眠问题

About Tongkat Ali 关于东革阿里

Tongkat Ali or its scientific name Eurycoma longifolia Jack, also known as “Malaysian Ginseng”, is a natural plant which grows in Malaysian tropical rainforest. Tongkat Ali is widely used in the preparation of Malay traditional medicine to boost energy, stamina and physical health in general.

Scientific name:Eurycoma longifolia Jack (latin)
Malay name:Tongkat Ali (Ali’s walking stick)
Vietnam name:Cay Ba Binh( the tree that can cure all diseases)
Chinese name:东革阿里(translated from Malay)
  
Tongkat Ali can be used in the preparation of Malay traditional medicine by boiling it in order to extract the tonic for the purpose of healing fever, headache, stomach ache and to restore physical health in general. What makes Tongkat Ali unique is that every time it is consumed in its tonic form, one will be energized and healthy.

Research on Tongkat Ali
  • Helps to improve libido and increases testosterone level
Weak libido and low testosterone levels are among the most common causes of Erectile Dysfuntion (male impotence). Tongkat Ali helps to improve libido and increases testosterone levels.  Testosterone enchances role in the treatment of male impotence. Tongkat Ali is also believed to improve sperm count and quality, thus adding to its benefit in helping couples with fertility problem due to low sperm count (Sunday Times, May 30th, 1999).
  • Anti-Oxidant Properties
Studies conducted by the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) and the department of Science, University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) discovered that Tongkat Ali contains SOD (Superoxide dismutase), an anti-oxidant enzyme. The study showed that Tongkat Ali inhibited the chain reaction of radicals harmful to the body system.

  • Anti-Fever effects
In 1995, it was reported that the quassinoid from Tongkat Ali has an anti-fever effect. The quassinoid was two times more effective that aspirin.

  • Anti-Cancer
Researchers in America and Japan reported that some plant chemicals found in the quassinoids and alkaloids found in Tongkat Ali have an effect of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells in laboratory experiments, which included breast cancer cells, colon cancer cells and leukemia. In plain English, this means that some compounds in Tongkat Ali can kill cancer cells.
Early results from a Malaysia Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) study of the plant have found that some chemical constituents of Tongkat Ali show high anti-cancer and anti-HIV activity. Forest Research Institute Malaysia General Director Datuk Dr. Abdul Razak Mohd Ali said initial laboratory work had shown that a number of these chemical constituents of Tongkat Ali could be more effective than existing anti-cancer drugs.

  • Anti-Anxiety effect
Studies conducted on mice showed that Tongkat Ali has an anxiolytic effect. Mice that were given Tongkat Ali had a significant decrease in episodes of fighting. They were also able to complete more squares on a maze than they could before they consumed the Tongkat Ali. These results were found to be consistent with the anxiolytic effect produced by diazepam. Therefore, this study supports the medicinal use of Tongkat Ali for treatment of anxiety.

  • Anti-Malarial effect
Studies on the biological effects of Tongkat Ali began in the 1980's. Studies showed that the roots of Tongkat Ali contain a group of plant chemicals called quassinoid, alkaloid and peptide which has the property to kill malaria parasites.

东革阿里,学名为Eurycoma longifolia Jack, 也被称为马来西亚人参,是一种生长于马来西亚热带雨林的天然植物。它被广泛的使用于马来传统草药处方以提升精力,耐力和体力。
  
学名:Eurycoma longifolia Jack (拉丁文) 马来名:Tongkat Ali (马来人的拐杖)
越南名:Cay Ba Binh( 能治百病的树)
中文名:东革阿里(马来文译音)
  
东革阿里用于马来传统处方以煮沸的方式提取精华来退烧,降低头疼,腹痛和修复健康。东革阿里的特点在于其精华,令人精力充沛,保持健康。






东革阿里的研究

  • 提高睾酮水平进而改善性欲
性欲弱和睾酮水平低是造成勃起功能障碍(男性阳萎)最常见的原因。东革阿里可助提高睾酮水平进而改善性欲。据1999年5月30日的《星期日时报》,东革阿里相信可改善精子数量和质量,可帮助面对生育问题如精子数量少的夫妇。

  • 抗氧化
马来西亚森林研究所配合国大科学部门的研究发现,东革阿里含有抗氧化物歧化酶(SOD),是一种抗氧化酶。研究显示东革阿里可抵制对身体有害的自由基所产生的连锁反应。

  • 抗发烧
1995年的报告指出,东革阿里的二萜类有抗发烧的作用。二萜类比阿司匹林两倍更有效。

  • 抗焦虑
针对小老鼠作出的试验显示东革阿里有抗焦虑作用。小老鼠在服用东革阿里后,其搏斗倾向明显降低。它们能够在服用东革阿里后完成更多的迷宫游戏。这些结果都与地西泮(苯甲二氮䓬)所产生的抗焦虑作用是一致的。因此,这项研究强化了东革阿里在治疗焦虑的医药用途。

  • 抗癌
美国和日本的研究学者发现,东革阿里所含的二萜类和生物碱成份可有效地抑制癌细胞的成长,当中包括乳癌细胞,肠癌细胞和白血病。另一种说法就是,东革阿里的一些成份可杀死癌细胞。
  • 抗疟疾
有关东革阿里的生物效应研究始于1980年代。研究显示,东革阿里的根部含有二萜类,生物碱和肽,能杀死疟疾的寄生虫。
