Effects of Endocrine Disruptors on Male Hormones and Health

Endocrine disruptors found in everyday products can negatively impact male hormones and health. These disruptors, such as those in air fresheners like Febreze, can lead to a decrease in testosterone levels by up to 45%, impacting muscle mass, cognitive function, cardiovascular health, and metabolic health.
