[QUOTE="madman, post: 218938, member: 13851"] Although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of T responsible for the positive effects. Highly doubtful your FT was even tested using an accurate assay. The FAI let alone direct immunoassay should not be used. FAI is considered overly simplistic and inaccurate when it comes to measuring free testosterone concentrations. The piss poor direct analog immunoassay provides inaccurate estimates of FT and experts recommend against its use for measuring free testosterone. The only way to know where your FT level truly sits is to have it tested using the most accurate assays such as Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best) performed under standardized conditions. Even then in your case, you would not even need to post your FT level let alone SHBG as it would be a given that your FT would be absurdly low with a horribly low TT 7.3 nmol/L (210 ng/dL). Definitely not healthy running around with a horribly low TT/FT level. [/QUOTE]
