question from a user
What levels do you consider low enough that the person will see a benefit from TRT?
AlphaMD's Answer
In general, it's a lot more about how someone feels than about the numbers themselves. The range for "acceptable" Testosterone in men can go from 250-1000. That's honestly crazy for any other hormone in the body.
To give an opinion though, we've seen men with 600 Testosterone with hypogonadal symptoms have an improvement to their lives by being on TRT. If you're anywhere around 500 or below, with symptoms, then it's probably appropriate to see how you would feel.It's also important to take levels with a grain of salt. Most testing is Total Testosterone. When you're younger, more of that is made up of SHBG than when you're older.
And older man with 400 Total Testosterone likely has more Free Testosterone than a younger man with a similar number. Given all of that, the symptoms really light the path in TRT.
