Studies worldwide demonstrate clearly that people from their 40s, start to decrease their hormonal levels, keeping it bellow the necessary to keep healthy. Men and women, both need a balance of oestrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormones, DHEA, cortisol, and many other hormones. Each hormone develops a function that is complementary of others and indispensable to the maintenance of a healthy state. When the levels of these hormones begin to decrease, it is initiated the process of ageing. It is observed a decrease in libido, reduced energy, increased body fat, bone fragility, osteoporosis, skin and tissue flaccidness, loss of memory, cardiovascular alterations, sleep disturbance and many other symptoms.
