Do Testosterone Levels Drop With Age? What Mayo Clinic Says About Normal Aging
Yes. Mayo Clinic says testosterone typically drops about 1% a year after age 30 or 40, and that treating normal aging with testosterone therapy is not advisable. A doctor must tell normal aging from disease, and many symptoms blamed on age have other causes. This site makes no claim that SodaPeak changes any hormone level.

The answer01
Does testosterone fall as men age?
Yes, slowly. Mayo Clinic puts the usual fall at about 1% a year after age 30 or 40.
MedlinePlus agrees that it is normal for levels to decrease with age (MedlinePlus, Testosterone Test). A slow decline is not by itself a disease, and Mayo Clinic says a doctor must tell normal aging from disease (Mayo Clinic, Testosterone and aging).

| Normal? | Yes, levels decrease with age |
| Therapy for normal aging | Not advisable |
| Diagnosis | Blood test, usually twice, plus symptoms |
Other causes02
Is every change blamed on age really age?
No. Low energy, low mood and less muscle can come from many things.
Mayo Clinic lists medicine side effects, sleep apnea, thyroid problems, diabetes and depression (Mayo Clinic, Testosterone and aging). Sleep and activity also move these: CDC advises 7 or more hours of sleep (CDC, About Sleep) and muscle-strengthening on 2 or more days a week (CDC, Adult Activity).

- ProgressionWhen repetitions get easy, increase the weight or resistance gradually. (Mayo Clinic, Strength training)
- ProteinProtein builds, maintains and repairs muscle and optimizes the training response. (NIH ODS, Exercise supplements)
- SleepAdults 18 to 60 need 7 or more hours of sleep a night. (CDC, About Sleep)
- Medical causesLow energy, low mood and less muscle can come from medicine side effects, sleep apnea, thyroid problems, diabetes or depression, not only from testosterone. (Mayo Clinic, Testosterone and aging)
- A proper testA testosterone test is a morning blood draw read by a provider alongside symptoms; one result alone cannot diagnose a condition. (MedlinePlus, Testosterone Test)
