[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 141661, member: 38109"] It appears you used an equilibrium dialysis test for free testosterone, which I'm told is the gold standard. Calculating in reverse puts your SHBG at around 57 nmol/L (+/-). No need to go back for it. It is indeed [URL='http://www.peaktestosterone.com/High_SHBG.aspx']elevated[/URL], and is not what you want with lowish testosterone. What I've seen in years of reading guys' lab numbers is that low-T symptoms can start to appear when free T goes below 10 ng/dL. But you're at half that, about where I was when I started TRT. If there's not an obvious treatable underlying condition then it's less likely you can fix this naturally. For completeness consider checking thyroid hormones and vitamin D status: [URL="http://www.peaktestosterone.com/Testosterone_Tests.aspx"]Testosterone Tests[/URL] As [USER=18511]@fifty[/USER] suggests, at your age you should consider trying Clomid before committing to TRT.
