Test bloodwork results

Before you jump to any conclusions too prematurely, 400 total test is on the low side for your age...agreed....BUT did you get free/bioavailable testosterone levels measured...it'd give a clearer picture of what's going on IMHO

sorry bro, i didn't ask. test was 400, but i'm calling tomorrow to see if they screened for free test (or SHBG, right?). I'll let you know.

yes, free test in test not bound by shbg; but albumin bound test can also be used readily by the body (it's loosely bound, unlike shbg); so free test + albumin bound test = bioavailable test

if you didn't get it in the report, chances are they didn't test for it; you'll have to re-take the bloodtest most likely... if you have a naturally low shbg count and aromatase enzymes, then your body probably will not need to produce so much test in order for it to be used efficiently by your body...doesn't necessarily mean you have hypogonadism

keep me posted though
cheers
