Defy had a special for follow up labs and I got a free Igf-1 test. Results great: 205
Range for my age is: 67-205 and my age is 48 soon to be 49. This is the first time I have ever had it tested.

Dang Pranayama does this mean you have a lot of growth hormone? 49YO and a 205 wow that number is high. It this a good thing?
I mean at your age why is that number so high what is your body doing? Why does it need so much IGF-1? I ask because I am just trying to get smart on the subject and howit might be part of hormone therapy.
 
Good question...I have no idea lol. I just know I am in range. Good enough for me I guess? I am assuming higher numbers are good. People have always said I look at least ten years younger than my age. :)

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
