[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 247459, member: 38109"] It appears that the lab used the Vermeulen method to calculate bioavailable testosterone. Free testosterone is the more useful parameter. Your Vermeulen calculated free testosterone is 11.2 ng/dL, which is in the healthy normal range and makes it unlikely you would benefit from TRT. It is reasonable to verify free testosterone with an accurate measurement. You might want to check the free thyroid hormones, fT3 and fT4. Also potentially of interest are CBC, CMP, lipids, estradiol, vitamin D status, prolactin and progesterone. If you're U.S.-based then Discounted Labs has some combination panels containing many of these. If LabCorp is more convenient than Quest then [URL='https://www.lifeextension.com']LEF[/URL] is another source for such lab requisitions. If you wait a month or two they usually have a spring sale with good discounts. [/QUOTE]
