hi finn: both free and total testosterone were in the below normal range , I was on testosterone replacment therapy and prescribed androgel by the doc at the time , but had read that it can shut down your own bodies natural production for awhile when discontinued , so decided to go the natural route , I found 3 suppliments that really help , both free and total testosterone are in the normal ranges now herbs and suppliments as follows: tribulus 500-1000 mg , you can take every other day or 3 weeks on and 1 week off , this will prevent your body from building up tolerance to it and keep it effective for a very long time , I take it every other day it seems to work well for me the brand I use is made by NOW and comes in 500 mg capsules and cost about $15,00 after shipping zinc 25-50 mg daily this is a good estrogen inhibitor ,too much estrogen in men will lower testosterone levels saw palmetto extract - 160-320 mg daily this will prevent the conversion of testosterone to dyhydotestosterone or dht , and protect the prostate and help maintain normal testosterone levels these 3 suppliment have helped me out alot you will want to start out on the low end with these herbs and adjust as needed and takes about 1 week to kick in this is a good web sight for more info on this issue www.geocities.com/bill3320/hormones.html
