    When do you become concerned about high DHT?

    Things have been pretty steady and positive for me on my current TRT regimen: 40mg every 2.5 days, IM (120 per week). No AI, no HCG. Just got my latest 6 month labs from my Body Logic doctor, who is very up to date on all matters HRT. The numbers were great, but for second time in a row, my...

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
