[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 214875, member: 38109"] Here's a [URL='https://www.labcorp.com/tests/004226/testosterone-total']counterexample[/URL] in which a CDC-harmonized test has teenagers' range top as 785 ng/dL while for adults it's 916 ng/dL. You follow some good advice with an oxymoron. "Very low dose therapy" implies lower-range and below-range levels. Normal-dose therapy implies mid-range physiological levels. Is Zyosted "very low dose"? Tell me there's not this skewed perspective about testosterone, in which the more-is-better mindset leads to attempts to redefine normal. You wouldn't be talking this way about other hormones. "Well I think I'll inject some estradiol so that I can be supraphysiological and maybe feel better." On the contrary, with estradiol we've seen guys fretting endlessly about higher levels and going to great lengths to restrict it to "normal" levels. Hopefully such thinking will be supplanted by an emphasis on balance. If we don't know what's optimum for us then let evolution be our guide, at least initially. Average numbers for healthy young individuals were selected over time to give the best odds of successfully procreating and raising offspring.
