Physiologically Significance of Testosterone and
Homeopathy
By James R. Hughes, MD
Testosterone is one of our vital hormones. The
level of testosterone produced by the body generally decreases as we age. This
vital hormone is required for libido, maintenance of muscle mass, prevention of
depression, bone mineral density, regulation of blood pressure and plays an
important role in blood sugar regulation.
Given the significance of this hormone in the
body, it is a wonder that there is not a more widespread use of testosterone
therapy. However, selecting the type of delivery system to be used in such
hormone therapy is critical.
Typically, any hormone therapy that requires
delivery of the hormone by absorption through the stomach and small intestine
may prove highly ineffective. Most ingested forms of testosterone are heavily
destroyed by the digestive tract. Much of that which is absorbed is then
filtered out by the liver before reaching the general circulation, further
reducing bioavailability. Injectible forms of testosterone have been used (and
misused) with great success for many years. This type of therapy is effective
only if the injections are taken on a routine weekly basis and under the strict
supervision of a healthcare professional.
Also available are transdermal testosterone
preparations. Again, these are available only by prescription and should be used
only under medical supervision. Another approach is the use of homeopathy.
The use of homeopathic preparations dates back to
the eighteenth century. Despite the purported benefits and widespread use of
this form of medicine, exactly how or why homeopathy works is still somewhat of
a mystery. The effect may stem from the bio-energetic level where homeopathic
formulations enhance the response of the receptors in the body to various
stimuli. Receptors allow hormones and other chemicals to activate DNA sequences
in order to produce the desired effect. Enhancing the affinity of a receptor to
a specific hormone through homeopathy may significantly elevate the receptor’s
response to the hormone--an essential step in helping to safely restore and/or
increase the level of a given hormone in the body.
The homeopathic testosterone is effectively
absorbed into the general circulation through the mucous membranes of the mouth.
Furthermore, oral absorption bypasses the liver and digestive tract. Its main
function is to increase effective testosterone levels in the system by
increasing receptor sensitivity to a variety of compounds affecting testosterone
metabolism.
A very important advantage of homeopathic
preparations is that they can be used in both men and women. Both sexes have the
same receptors and utilize the same hormones. Both sexes also show an age
related decline in testosterone levels The concept behind homeopathic Syn-Test
makes the formula ideal for either men or women interested in pursuing an
effective and safe means of testosterone therapy.
In addition to its homeopathic content of
testosterone, Syn-Test is supported by a proprietary blend of other components
included to further enhance the product’s effectiveness:
DHEA: Essential for hormone production.
AMINO ACID COMPLEX: These building blocks of
protein are utilized by every cell in the body.
ORNITHINE: Helps to improve liver function, a key
step in maximizing testosterone levels, and the natural production of human
growth hormone by the body.
PROTEASE: An enzyme that plays an important role
in the digestion of protein.
LIPASE: The basic enzyme for fat and lipid
digestion.
YOHIMBE: An African herb thought to assist the
body with testosterone production,
MACA: A South American herb considered helpful
for enhanced libido and circulation.
TRIBULUS TERRESTRIS: Made popular by European
athletes, this herb is thought to be helpful for increased testosterone
production and increased sex drive.
VITAMIN E: This essential vitamin plays an
important role in a number of functions withing the body including cellular
respiration of the cardiac and skeletal muscles.
ZINC: A mineral necessary for the general growth
and development of the reproductive organs.
SILICA: This mineral plays an important role in
the integrity of the connective tissues including tendons, cartilage and blood
vessels.
BORON: Thought to be important for calcium
absorption by the body, this mineral may also help enhance sexual desire.
TRACE MINERAL COMPLEX: A blend of minerals found
within the body thought to be significant in numerous body functions.
Syn-Test has been developed in a liquid form that
can be sprayed directly under the tongue for immediate absorption via the oral
mucosa. Each one ounce bottle is equipped with a convenient pump spray cap.
