Testosterone is the hormone of the kings! Actually it is the hormone that is found in both men and woman but higher levels are found in men then in women.
“Women's ovaries and adrenal glands share the responsibility for testosterone production. Studies show that testosterone helps women maintain muscle and bone strength, and contributes to sex drive or libido… Women manufacture about one-seventh the amount of testosterone each day that men do.”

Too much testosterone can cause problems with fertility and high levels can be found in women who have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and adrenal gland problems.
