question from a user
Is low 500’s considered normal and healthy for a 28 year old male?
AlphaMD's Answer
Purely by number's sake compared by age? That sounds just fine, but the question is how you feel. Do you feel normal, healthy, happy, and motivated? Then don't overthink your value too much, you're good to go.
If you have typical hypogonadal symptoms though, it doesn't hurt to examine that further. The younger you are the more SHBG you'll have making up your Total T, which can sometimes prop up a low Free T inside of Total T when you're young, but still suffering from symptoms.
