Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explaining that testosterone influences joint structure and function. The speaker asserts testosterone helps heal ligaments by stimulating their building blocks and strongly supports muscle growth; stronger muscles preserve strength with age, improving joint stability, reducing pain, degeneration, and wear.
The less strength you lose as you age, the more stable your joints are and the better your joints are supported as you age.
Testosterone has massive influences on a lot of the structure of the joint. Not only does testosterone help us heal ligaments by stimulating the actual building blocks of those ligaments, but it really supports muscle growth. So testosterone is super important for having muscles grow big and strong, which, the stronger your muscles are, the less strength you lose as you age, the more stable your joints are, and the better your joints are supported as you age, the less they'll hurt, the less they'll degrade, and the less they'll degenerate.
