    amount of bioavailable free testosterone. Older men typically have lower levels of free testosterone, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels increase.

Bioavailable testosterone is important for fertility, and for both cardiovascular health and sex health. Testosterone levels generally decrease with age at the rate of 0.4-2% annually. Humans consume…
