[QUOTE="Vince, post: 87313, member: 843"] Yes, I have read the same thing. A young man testosterone is higher in the morning, as a man ages there's less of a peak. For years, the recommendation has been to get a testosterone value early in the morning because levels start to drop after 10 or 11 a.m. But the data behind that recommendation were drawn from healthy young men. Two recent studies showed little change in blood testosterone levels in men 40 and older over the course of the day. One reported no change in average testosterone until after 2 p.m. Between 2 and 6 p.m., it went down by 13%, a modest amount, and probably not enough to influence diagnosis. Most guidelines still say it's important to do the test in the morning, but for men 40 and above, it probably doesn't matter much, as long as they get their blood drawn before 5 or 6 p.m. [url]https://www.harvardprostateknowledge.org/a-harvard-expert-shares-his-thoughts-on-testosterone-replacement-therapy[/url] [/QUOTE]
