[QUOTE="madman, post: 214924, member: 13851"] At least now we have the option to use the most accurate testing methods by choosing a lab/assay that has been certified through the [B]CDC Hormone Standardization Program[/B] for total testosterone, estradiol, and soon enough the much-needed free testosterone.
