Steroid : natural testosterone ratio

[TheWarriorWithin]

Got a few questions here, was looking at a scientific journal showing test levels for the average male by age. For example ages 25-34 have average total test levels of 21.38 nmol/L and free test levels of 0.428 nmol/L. Does anyone know what the steroid equivalent is? E.g taking "X"mg/ml of test enanthate is equal to "X"nmol/L of total natural test. Second question: is the total amount of testosterone injected into the body usable?

Okay, my first answer is layman-like and the second is technical.

Normal x 500, 1000, 3000...enough to make you big and strong!

Second question: is the total amount of testosterone injected into the body usable?
"No", the body is a very efficient machine, but it can't use 'all' of anything. Everything that goes in (regardless of the medium) becomes subject to three mechanisms namely absorption (it's used), degradation (it's broken down), and evacuation (it's eliminated as waste).

Based on Magic32's answer for number two. The processes in each person are unpredictably variable between individuals. Basically if persons X and Y inject 250mg of Test E, they will have different levels of the compound in the system at Time Z. Because of the everyone's own unique physiology, typically a standard or trial amount is given. The blood levels are tested at Time Z (whatever time the doc uses) and always at that time after each injection to determine the proper dosages to maintain "normal levels" for Hormone Replacement Patients.
