  DID YOU KNOWCustomized Hormone Replacement Therapy is not just for women! Andropause also known as ‘male menopause’ is caused primarily by a decline in hormones, primarily testosterone. Testosterone can be compounded, with a prescription, for men who have low testosterone levels. Saliva testing kits are available at The Custom Compounding Center to test the levels of various hormones including testosterone.
