Does anyone know where to find a pretty detailed chart of avg. natural test vs. age??? I've looked pretty hard on google and stuff but haven't found anything good yet.
Thanks,
Chris
Chris,
I'm am a bodybuilder Biophysicist studying bimolecular medicine. Biophysics is the branch of biology that applies the methods of physics to the study of biological structures and processes. I'm currently investigating the relationship between sea sponges, and their potential benefit in oncologic use (cancer treating).
The oceans and rain forests of the earth remain 99% investigation free for their potential to yield undiscovered plants for use in the pharmaceutical industry. The future will yield many cures for common disease and pathology as our research progresses.
Here is the standard table for measuring testosterone levels in men. If you fall below your range, your doctor will determine if testosterone therapy will be beneficial. If your levels are high (or off the chart), this is indicative for the use of anabolic steroids and is illicit.
The letters 'ng/dl' following the number indicates quantity, and stands for 'nanograms per deciliter' of blood. These are extremely small quantities only detectable by complex medical laboratory tests:
AGE MALE:
7 months to 9 years: Less than 30 ng/dL (less than 1.04 nmol/L)
10–13 years: 1–619 ng/dL (0.04–21.48 nmol/L)
14–15 years: 100–540 ng/dL (3.47–18.74 nmol/L)
16–19 years: 200–970 ng/dL (6.94–33.66 nmol/L)
20–39 years: 270–1,080 ng/dL (9.00–37.48 nmol/L)
40–59 years: 350–890 ng/dL (12.15–30.88 nmol/ L)
60 years and older: 350–720 ng/dL (12.15–24.98 nmol/L)
The risks of anabolic steroid use by far out weighs the risks;high blood pressure, cancer, kidney and liver disease, heart attack, stroke and a host of other age limiting degenerative disorders can befall you. Bodybuilders who 'experiment' with these drugs, take enormous risks with their health, have short careers and generally develop degenerative disorders later in life otherwise avoidable. If you're 20 now, turning 50 comes very quickly. You will want to maintain your health as much then, as you do currently.
