[QUOTE="madman, post: 190837, member: 13851"] If you are going to base your FT level on the cFTZ then 18 ng/dL would be far from low as 16.4-31.4 ng/dL would be considered a healthy range. Some would consider 18 ng/dL sub-par as many tend to do better running higher levels 30 ng/dL. FT level of 5-9 ng/dL would be considered low and many can suffer from low-t symptoms at levels slightly higher. If you go by the cFTV then your FT would be considered low. I would still look into having your FT tested using the most accurate assays Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration.
