Testosterone and Age?

Try the raw carnivore diet.

its not low

JonO and rek will tell you that testosterone is a myth, the doc is just trying to get you to buy placebo pills

your just old, maybe if you told everyone your real name and what university you went to and what science degree you got you might feel better....

EPO DOESNT WORK

PEDS don't work.

You want to raise your testosterone? Just rub one out.

Your post is confusing. You are at 290 ,and the average is 679? Or you were at 290 and now you're at 679?

If you are at 679 then you are doing fine as far as testosterone goes. If you are at 290 you are in trouble.

I am currently at 290 when I went to the doctor a year ago I was 270 so it has gone up. The 679 is the number I found online that was said to be the average for a male.

Due to the normal variation from day to day and month to month, you can't really say your levels have changed at all. Let's put it this way, though: your levels are about average for an 80 year old man and well below the levels of Caster Semenya.

290 seems rather low to me. I increased my own levels by changing my diet. I added healthy fats, reduced sugar. I also try to relax more and get enough rest. My levels doubled for a time.

Is your weak mind responsible for your poor grammar?

He's been taking too much weldonium and it's affecting his brain.

About a year ago I went in to the Dr and had a physical as part of it they tested my testosterone. At that time it was low and we had a second test because my white blood cell count was low as well so they wanted to rule out cancer. A year later with added weight lifiting to weekly workouts my testosterone level has increased to 290 ng/dL. I am in the normal level now but way below the average with level of 679 ng/dL. I am 36 years old and wanted to see what levels other people are at. I do seem to be slowing down as I age by a good bit just not sure if it all has to do with age or other stuff.

Few things to consider, as I am now 31 and get regular blood work, so I am intrigued to get my free T checked in the next year or so..

What's your athletic and health background? What do you weigh in relation to height, and did you ever heavily strength train in your teens into your 20s or have you been an aerobic monster for the last 2 decades? Have you felt sex drive diminish in the last few years? I was talking to somebody who's levels were lower than they'd imagine and he thought it was an odd correlation that his sex drive just wasn't the same as even a few years back. Always take into account work/life stress, diet, sleep being a huge factor too. I'd stick with the weight training as long as you're staying healthy and enjoying it. Keep an eye on the numbers, especially post 40. Wish ya well!

My background is heavy on the running for the last 23 years so all anaerobic work, with very short stints of weight lifting until the past year and a half. I would say the sex drive has gone down the past 6 months.

Thanks for the thoughts and advice I will have to look into my diet and work on getting more rest.

Just had mine tested 50 going on 51. I was really curious.

Total serum level - 577 This is pretty much the average for my age. (400-600).

Averages for my age is anywhere from 200-800. I'm not sure what benefits would be gained by having a 800 compared to 577- I'd bet there are risks in supplementation.

Free testosterone normal levels 4-15 ng/dl. Mine- 9.1

I take absolutely no supplements not even a vitamin. I don't sleep enough and need to cut back on the alcohol, but not sure if that has any real effect. I know I feel pretty good and my nutrition habits are sound.

I'll test it again in 3 years or so.

Average for a male on what planet? I highly doubt that is average. Well, it also depends on what age group.

There are effective natural ways to improve it, diet and high intensity weights. I'd definitely try those.

I'll just throw this in here.

I had a T level of nearly zero for almost a year, thanks to hormone therapy for prostate cancer. It was unpleasant.

Before the shot(s) I was at 443. It went to 10 after 6 weeks, then another shot, and was at 13 in December.

I'm not fast anymore (I'll be 76 in about a week) but I always did have endurance. Even that took a hit with zero-T. Muscle strength, as in heavy lifting, took a big hit. Belly fat appeared as did man boobs. And hot flashes.

I get a blood test tomorrow or the next day, and am hoping to see T go up and PSA stay at zero.

A couple of months ago I started a thread about hormone therapy, but it went nowhere. I think there was one response. I can't believe I'm the only person here who's had that kind of therapy. It's hardly rare.

Selection bias. Not many people your age are posting on this website, so not many people with that therapy to reply.

Proving that drugs work.

Interesting. And good luck. An anonymous poster is hoping you get back to kicking *ss.

Does Vitamin D and caffeine increase testosterone levels and free levels?

Anyone tried it?

I read an article about Vit D increasing T levels by as much as 25% in a year.
