Looking for info on my testosterone levels, good bad, need to start TRT. My levels as a 52 year old male 6 foot 2 195-200lbs. My levels of testosterone are 465ng/lb
 
My levels of testosterone are 465ng/lb
These labs are incomplete, you need to know how much T is active, you need to know the Free T values. Typically as men age, the Total T and SHBG increases while the Free T decreases.

This puts men at greater risk for developing prostate cancer and more aggressive cases. Men with Free T at the top 25% of the ranges decreases the risk of prostate cancer by 53%!

It's not uncommon to see older men with Total T 600-800 ng/dL, high SHBG and low Free T.

Ok thank you. I have a full report of all my blood test with testosterone levels there. I am just not sure how to calculate free T

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

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.
