[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 260045, member: 15043"] So I’m listening to the latest doctors roundtable that someone posted, and what I don’t get is Keith Nichols says that the majority of his patients feel their best with a free T level around 30-50, and that even 40-60 is a great place to be, from what he’s seen with his patients. And of course Jay had to put in his weird 2 cents and said that the majority of guys that he knows on TRT that are doing well have a free T level around 43. No idea why he got so specific with it. He’s an odd one. But I digress lol. The thing is that a free T level of 30-50, or 40-60, at labcorp, is a free T of 300-500, or 400-600 if u were to compare it to Quest’s free T test. And the free T range at quest is (46-155) or (46-224) depending on the free T test that u do with them.
