question from a user
At what levels of Total Testosterone and Free Testosterone in your opinion would someone benefit from starting TRT?
AlphaMD's Answer
The level at which they are feeling low Testosterone symptoms. I know that's kind of a non-answer, but it's also the best answer. The cornerstone of good TRT should be based on following symptoms & durations, and then using lab results to determine dosing & treatment options. As far as typical ranges that we see people look to start TRT, most start with ranges from 450 TT or lower, but for FT not nearly as many people have this information available to give a good average. I hope that helps, sorry for the odd answer!
