question from a user

I have had a "sensitivity" to testosterone. I'm on 160mg weekly (SubQ once with 0.5mg Anastrozole). My trough Total T is 1400ng/dL and Free T is 46ng/dL. Everything is otherwise in range. E2 is 30 and shbg is 26. My question is what benefits/cautions can I expect with my Free T that high?

AlphaMD's Answer

You certainly would expect enhanced muscle growth and improved metabolism at that level. Supraphysiologic levels can often translate to higher libido and improved self confidence. Beyond that, you typically would not expect any additional benefit. It seems that you are not having problems with high E2, which often accompany high T levels. You will have higher DHT conversion from high T, so you may be more likely to experience changes with your hairline (if you have a genetically predisposition). High levels can increase the risk of erythrocytosis (high hematocrit), though this is not always the case.

Honestly, if you feel good at that level, and your markers look fine, you don't need to change a thing.
