[QUOTE="FunkOdyssey, post: 230172, member: 44064"] As far as target free T levels, I don't have the experience to tell you what I prefer but there are a couple different levels I think are reasonable to try. One is a modestly above average level for healthy young men: 15-20 ng/dL. The second is the very top of the physiological range and extending slightly into the supraphysiological: 25-30 ng/dL. There are people who try the higher levels and complain of side effects, ED, and etc and only see resolution of symptoms at the lower level. There also seem to be many guys that don't resolve their low T symptoms until they reach the higher level. Interestingly, different online communities seem to self-sort and gravitate towards different levels -- that lower range seems popular here versus Facebook groups where higher ranges dominate. If you're going to be on TRT (or TOT) for life, I don't think you should decide where to be based solely on the argumentation of either side. I think the decision should be informed by direct experience. Having determined what the benefits are for you personally will take some mystery out of the risk/benefit analysis. So what does that mean for you with your calculated 22.7 ng/dL free? I think there's a good chance that going lower makes you feel better and there's also a good chance that going higher makes you feel better. Unfortunately there's only one way to find out. [/QUOTE]
