What is testosterone?

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone — it drives muscle mass, bone density, libido, mood, and energy. Levels decline gradually with age, but symptoms, timing of testing, and lab reference ranges all affect what a single number actually means.

ManCore lets you log your clinical markers over time — total and free testosterone, SHBG, DHT, and more — so you can bring real trend data to your doctor instead of one isolated result.
