What is testosterone?

Women have 10-20% of the amount of testosterone men have. In women testosterone is important for bone health, breast health, fertility, sex drive, menstrual health and vaginal health. Testosterone is important in  sex drive and orgasm by increasing dopamine (one of the pleasure chemicals in the brain).

How do I use AndroFeme?

Measure out 0.5ml of the cream, then apply it directly to a dry area of skin on your lower abdomen or outer thigh. Massage it into the area until absorbed. Typically it takes 30 seconds. Don’t use directly on the genitals. Don’t swim or shower for an hour after you have applied it. If you miss a dose you have 9 hours to remember, after that skip that application and wait till the next day. Missing a dose will not cause you any harm. No perfumes or moisturising creams should be used over the area you applied the Androfeme as these can affect absorption.
