Thank you for your detailed reply. Nothing changed beside the tongkat ali. Sleep normal, exercise the same, etc. My free t partially recovered but I'm wondering will it fully recover given more time? Quite worried. Thanks for your advice i've been panicking that I screwed something. I took the...

Hello my free T (using same lab/assay as before) is down 30% from 2 day trial of tongkat ali 2 months ago. Madman said retest after 1-2 months and everything should recover. But my free T still hasn't fully recovered - only partial recovery. Will it just take longer? Am i stuck with a lower free...

Hello I took tongkat ali and my cortisol saliva test from quest diagnostics is different. My saliva cortisol levels are on the average to high normal side now. Before they were all low. I feel stressed too. Will it go back to normal? It's been 1.5 months since I stopped tongkat ali. I tested...

Hmm while taking it my shbg didn't go lower though? How much time until normal? My SHBG is usually at 40 right at high normal.

Hmm. I did other tests for testosterone total and usually it sits at 700 (before tongkat) with quest MS assay but now two tests i've done came back (after tongkat ali on two different days) at 560.

Hmm no major diet change, sitting home playing video games most of the days, tested same time 9:30am PST. When I was on the tongkat I felt pretty aggressive, high libido, confident. For 12 straight hours then stopped. So it did have a impact symptom wise so I assume it had effect on T?

Hello I took tongkat ali 10% eurycomanone from nootropics depot 50mg daily for 2 days. Before it ( a few days before) I tested Quest Diagnostics Equilibrium Dialysis free t at 144 pg/mL out of reference range 35.0-155.0 pg/mL. Then been feeling fatigue and some irritability and after not taking...

Thanks sammmy anyone else have any insight?

I edited in my results in the original post and here. Thanks for any insight! All results from Quest Diagnostics: Edit 2/7/23: 05/12/2017 Results: Testosterone, Free (Equilibrium Dialysis, Quest) - 151.9 pg/mL Reference Range - 35.0-155.0 pg/mL Testosterone, Total (LC/MS/MS) - 896 ng/dL...

Hmmm. I redid the total free and bioavailable test LC/MS/MS and got similar results. I'm thinking about redoing the free t (equilibrium dialysis) again. I did this same test 8 years ago and got the high end result then too. So there's something up with the test methods for sure. I just don't...

Hi I will update with numbers when home as I’m on mobile but I did two different tests from quest on the same blood draw. One was free t equilibrium dialysis (showed right near top of the range) while the other was free t and bioavailable t combined in one test as lc/ms/ms (showed both at very...
