I have question about the measurement units of free testosterone because I’m very confused.
I’ve read oppinions here that although everyone needs different number most of the guys feel better at or above 30 ng/dL. However my free testosterone measured in Germany is 17 ng/L. 30 ng/DL is like 300 ng/L. But the reference range in the German Lab are 17-22 ng/L. Seems like in USA you measure it in different way and it is 10 times bigger! How is that possible? Or do I need to raise my free T 10 times to reach anywhere near the numbers you talk about?
These are opinions, not facts. You need to stop focusing on the numbers and focus on dosing and when symptoms are gone, then the numbers become more important.
Dose it to where all symptoms are gone, until you feel optimal. I don’t care what the numbers are as long as I have erections, libido and am building muscle.
Welcome to a world with no standards. When I see a low cutoff point for reference ranges, this tells me severely ill people or old men were included in the reference population.
They explained it in the other topic about estrogen. Seems my 17ng/l considering the testing method equals like 9ng/dl of the US numbers you discuss in the forum
