    Although there's a clear link between testosterone production and male libido, researchers have yet to discover the exact nature of the connection. If a man's hormone level is clearly below normal, testosterone supplements can make a noticeable difference in his libido. On the other hand, supplements seem to have no effect on men whose natural testosterone is already within a normal range. The impact of testosterone supplements on men who have borderline or low-normal hormone levels is still unknown. Although desire wanes with age, this problem doesn't seem to be linked to declining testosterone.
