Testosterone levels

[chicocklarge]

So I recently had my testosterone levels checked...mainly to serve as a baseline for future tests..
My results are as follows:

Testosterone...................... 501 ng/dL...........the range: 250 - 1100 ng/dL
Testosterone, Free ............57.8 pg/mL......... the range: 35.0 - 155.0 pg/mL

Although I am with the ranges as listed above, I feel that the levels are sort of low. I have been experiencing "Andropause" symptoms recently over the past year. If you don't know what that is, you older guys (like me) should check it out.

I don't know what to do about the levels. I know certain exercises can raise test. levels. Can anyone suggest anything to help?

Thanks in advance!

Discuss this with a physician. For me, doing legs increase my levels, at least as a feeling I, don't check my levels.

Check your estrogen levels too.

To raise free testosterone levels lower body fat.

OP, you're in the normal ranges. But there's also DHT and estradiol to check out. Any which way, getting body fat below 18% and working big muscles like quad and gluts (squats!) can help booth both testosterone and human growth hormone. Someone one told me, to grow your biceps, do squats, and I think that there's something to that.

Easiest way is to start some herbal supplements like damiana, tongkat ali, fenugreek, even good old celery is great for T. I started a few months ago and within a week my testicles had doubled in size and I was feeling more horny, full of energy. The other thing is to do some hi intensity interval training as well as weights - these help with T levels.

Thanks for your response.
Where can one fine these: damiana, tongkat ali, fenugreek?

I will have to look at my lab reports...the DHT and estradiol might be listed. Thanks for the info.

I ordered all my supplements online - various places - I'm in the UK and all of them are stocked here somewhere or other - so I'm sure that'll be the case in the US as well. And they're all herbal as well so safe to use and I guess unrestricted under FDA rules?

DHT is important, as may be E2 (estradiol) but your total (and more importantly) free testosterone are normal. Did the physician who ordered these tests have a comment?

Your age also plays a role in what "normal range" is

I didn't seem concerned.

You don't have androgen deficiency. This gets complicated and you should see your personal physician for advice.

I am experiencing "Andropause" if you know what that is....so that is why I asked for the test to begin with.
