Tennis Elbow: Tennis elbow or epicondylitis is inflammation of a tendon on the outside or inside of your
Testosterone: This is a male hormone. It stimulates bone and muscle growth and sexual development.
Thermogenesis: Thermogenesis means increased fat loss by raising the body's core temperature. Or increased calorie burn as a result of a faster metabolism. Unfortunately, there are not a plethora of products on the market that can cause these changes to occur. More specifically, when this term is applied to B vitamins and popular herb products, it is probably a scam.
Thrombus: This is a blood clot. It forms inside a blood vessel.
