Testosterone has two distinct actions on a man's body:

  • Androgen effect: helps the formation and maintenance of male sexual characteristics such as the appearance of the beard, the change of voice, etc.
  • Anabolic effect: increases bone complexion and strength in men, as well as stimulates bone growth and maturation.
