| Elite Member Join Date: Jun 2009 Gender:  Posts: 809 |  My blood work for Testosterone 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, __________________ Reloaded |

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.. __________________ SPNH - Strength Power Nutrition Health ="http://www.spnh.com.au *Information I provide does not substitute a proper medical evaluation by a medical professional; nor does it constitute practitioner/patient relationship, or liability, in any way. |

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 __________________ Reloaded | |

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. __________________ SPNH - Strength Power Nutrition Health ="http://www.spnh.com.au *Information I provide does not substitute a proper medical evaluation by a medical professional; nor does it constitute practitioner/patient relationship, or liability, in any way. |

| Super Member Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: Melb. Gender: Posts: 567 | 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. |

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. __________________ Reloaded | |

Testosterone itself can lower SHBG __________________ SPNH - Strength Power Nutrition Health ="http://www.spnh.com.au *Information I provide does not substitute a proper medical evaluation by a medical professional; nor does it constitute practitioner/patient relationship, or liability, in any way. |
