Am I reading this right? TOTAL TEST <1

[optimizely]

I just got my labs back and have been injecting 16mg/day IM with UGL test. Am I reading my lab results right? Total test <1 wtf???

“Verified by repeat analysis”. Shady.

So is it safe to say my test is bunk? I did my labwork thru discounted labs at Quest.

I would ask for a re-test. No one is <1 unless your ugl sold you kryptonite instead of testosterone.

My UGL has always been G2G and I have labs back in March that show values >700. I will definitely have to look into a retest.

Since you are sharing only part of your blood work, I want to add this comment here.

There are 4 variables that are telling me that the T value of under 1 is right. You have no free testosterone, no estradiol (which comes from testosterone) and normal hematocrit (which testosterone increases). The estradiol test and the testosterone test (both LC/MS) are done by two different contract labs that Quest uses.

I want to help you since this is the first time I see this in 10 years. Can you tell me what testosterone brand you are taking, if it is US made, are you taking anything else with it, how much and how frequently are you taking it?

I suspect something is suppressing your testosterone. If that value alone was wrong, then all other mentioned tests would be different.

I have only seen similar numbers (but not zero) in people using SARMs.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

^^exactly what Nigel said. My first reaction was that this is a suppressive substance. Even bunk test would not suppress Free test.
A few other things - you can calculate your Free test through total test, SHBG and Albumin if you have those values (Google Free Test calculator).
How long were you running / how do you feel?
Strange to see UGLs make bunk Test. It’s cheap as heck and ruin their rep. Did you confirm the source from some bodybuilding forums?

One other thought – did you recently start a new vial – or switch brands? The only other time I have seen something like this happen was when guys were taking some legit UGL gear and then used a new batch, or a new brand which was bunk – so their levels were crashed once the real testosterone got out of their system and they were injecting the fake product.
