question from a user
34 years old in gym regularly for Two months all my other levels came back normal except 0.03 below the 1.00 normal level just wondering if this test level is optimal or too high
AlphaMD's Answer
It does look like it's at a high range, but "too high" might not apply in this case, especially if you were being treated for relative hypogonadism from the start. Higher than these ranges and we'd say that the benefit to side effect ratios may start to skew negatively for you. That said, the most important thing is how you're feeling. Are you feeling good on this treatment? Are you having negative side effects? That's where we'd want to start when reviewing.
