My blood work for Testosterone

[BoyFromAus]

Hi guys

I got my results today.

Serum Testosterone: 22.1 nmol /L (8.0 - 30.0 )

SHBG: 36nmol / L (15 - 70)

Free Androgen Index (TE/SHBG ratio): 61.4%

Free Testosterone: 460 pmol / L (170 - 500)

the numbers in those brackets are the "revised reference range for testosterone as from 07/12/2009".

I will be seeing my doctor about these results but can some of the experienced ppl on here provide me with a bit more clarity on this please?

Cheers,

I would kill for those levels!!

Especially your free test...

You can lower your SHBG by lowering your oestrogen by using stinging nettle root and DIM-plus.

This will in increase your free tetsosterone even more due to it not binding to SHBG.

To give you an idea of me my results are

Total test 7.8
Free test 25.2
SHBG is 17


were these results first thing in the morning? Lucky you got FAI done most path labs wont do it only for women as they are a bunch of ****ing morons..

thanks man.. what unit of measurement were urs in?

My blood sample was taken at 9:00am - 9:30am about 2 hours after I woke up and had my first meal. So I guess it would have been at a high point of the day

I'm already using Zinc. I think i'll also add in Nettle Root as well as Dim. I've also heard a lot about Icariin. I'll have to consult Fadi on that though.

cheers

Wow Rasika, you should be building muscles on top of muscles with such a profile.

zinc should be of good quality add 100mg a day..

Metagenics ect have a good liquid zinc.

Zinc helps combat aromatase the enzyme that converts testosterone to oestrogen in fat cells.

Vitamin C also helps with this 4000mg a day i would suggest if you do not have iron problems.

Hi, I'll post my Test results from 2 weeks ago, keep in mind I'm 43 y/old.

Total Testosterone: 21.9 nmol/L ref range 8.3 - 30.2

SHBG : 28 nmol/L ref range 13 - 71

Free Testosterone : 524 nmol/L ref range 225 - 725


The ref range is derived from morning samples of health males < 35 yrs old.

Looks ok to me, what do you think?

Mike.

Hi all,

Should most ppl be getting this test
done? That is to see if everything is
OK with 'us'??? (if any other
supplement should be taken to balance
if there are any deficiencies??)

What is this test called? and how
much?

Thanks
Devante.

god damn.. from what Fadi said, yours is very good. you've beat me and noobs, and we're in our 20s (*gets jealous*).

Do you use anything in particular to get ur SHBG down? stinging nettle root?

it should be bulk billed on medicare mate.
Ask the doctor for a blood test for testosterone levels. That's all i did.

It's a good idea that ppl get it done. Testosterone is the key hormone in our body for increasing muscle size / volume amongst it's other effects such as aggression and so on.

Testosterone itself can lower SHBG

damn. The free test is low, yet you deadlift and squat way more than me.

 

[Dancelot]

Having never done this before, I'm curious to know what my numbers are. What kind of place should I go to and what should I specifically request? Thanks

 

[dave]

GP, ask to get blood work done and they, or a nurse, take your blood and pass it on for testing. Or suck up to trofius i believe he works in a blood lab.

I took blood test this morning.. and will now monthly.. I honestly dont feel much better i think the dosage is too low for me and i need to also be on hCG to mimic natural LH signals to testies to produce other hormones.

Basically my dr said to me numbers mean nothing if you feel like shit naturally im going to try for the high end of the scale but im also going to go with what makes me feel the best and wont send me broke..

On another note alot of people dont realise they can help oestrogen metabolism simply by looking after their liver because this is the organ that metabolises oestrogen! You **** with it and oestrogen back logs increases shbg wich lowers free test wich increases fat wich increases aromatase wich increases testosterone into oestrogen wich back logs the liver more..

This is why i am against alcohol or anything that effects the liver. yet people that have no idea about anything state that there is nothing wrong with it. Believe what you want to bleieve..

Help your liver?

Milk thistle
DIMplus
Zinc 100mg daily
and 1000mg vit c 4 times daily for healthy individuals with no iron problems

Apart from WPC the only supp I take is Zinc, vitamin E and A
Is the SHBG level good? The doc just handed me an envelope and said the results were fine. This was done in the waiting room, and I still had to sign the medicare form

I've been told watching porn raises test levels, well it is a good excuse

Numerous docs also told me my levels were fine..

Alot of them are morons and its a shame because people put their faith in them.
