Free or total testosterone – does it matter which is low?

Testosterone is one of the most important male hormones.

But testing testosterone can be a little tricky…

This is because testosterone effectively exists in two different states in the blood.

Some testosterone is tightly bound by a protein called sex hormone binding globulin.

This testosterone shows up in many blood tests – but it’s difficult for the body to use it in this state.

The rest of your testosterone is known as bioavailable testosterone – this is easily available for the body to use.

Stress and aging can cause more of your testosterone to be wrapped up by sex hormone binding globulin

Meaning that your testosterone levels may not change – but you may not have access to as much of your testosterone.

This can have major effects on your health.

One study showed that lower levels of bioavailable testosterone were clearly associated with depression in older men…

Even though overall testosterone levels didn’t change much.

The human research was carried out at the University of California, San Diego. The findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.

This study looked to see if there was any link between sex hormones and depression in men over the age of 50.

“We carried out a population-based study examining the association between sex hormones and depressed mood in community dwelling older men between the ages of 50 and 89 years.”

The research recruited over 800 men.

All of the men provided blood tests which were analyzed for numerous different hormones.

This study looked at the male hormones testosterone and DHT.

It also looked at estrogen.

Critically, this study looked at total and bioavailable fractions of these hormones.

Total testosterone looks at all of the testosterone present in the blood.

But bioavailable testosterone simply tests the levels of this hormone which are easily available.

“Total and bioavailable testosterone, estrogen and DHT levels were measured.”

The percentage of bioavailable testosterone can vary quite a lot.

The men completed a questionnaire designed to assess their mood and see if they were suffering from any signs of depression.

“Depressed mood was assessed with the Beck Depression Inventory questionnaire.”

The researchers then looked to see if there was any relationship with the degree of depression and hormones…

Including bioavailable hormones.

The study clearly showed that lower bioavailable testosterone was associated with increasing depression.

“Depression score was significantly and inversely associated with bioavailable testosterone, independent of age, weight and physical activity.”

So it seems that available testosterone is a major factor in mood in older men.

The research found similar patterns when they looked at DHT – the other primary male hormone.

Men with lower levels of bioavailable DHT were more likely to be depressed.

“Similar associations were seen for bioavailable DHT.”

25 of the men in the study were diagnosed as clinically depressed according to the results of the questionnaire.

Severely depressed men had significantly lower levels of bioavailable testosterone.

“Bioavailable testosterone levels were 17% lower for the 25 men with categorically defined depression levels.”

Men with lower bioavailable testosterone are more likely to suffer from age-related weight-loss and lack of physical activity.

Testosterone is well known for its effect on building and retaining muscle and bone mass.

It also helps to provide motivation for physical and mental activity.

“Low bioavailable testosterone levels and high depression scores were associated with weight loss and lack of physical activity in older men.”

Testosterone supplementation could help with mood problems which are normally associated with aging…

Even when “total testosterone” levels are within the normal range.

“Testosterone treatment might improve depressed mood in older men who have low levels of bioavailable testosterone.”

The other possibility is freeing up bad testosterone.

The unavailable portion of testosterone in the blood is tightly bound by sex hormone binding globulin.

Working to decrease this protein can free up testosterone and improve many symptoms of testosterone deficiency…

Even when total testosterone levels are unchanged.

It’s not how much testosterone you have in your blood that counts – it’s how much you can use.

This is the biggest lie about male testosterone

Hey, I’m Lisa, and I have a question for you…

Did you know the whole story about male testosterone dropping after 40 is a total LIE?

Don’t feel bad if you believed this, because I did too. And so did my husband…

Until I discovered that men’s testosterone actually PEAKS between the ages of 37 and 47…

What throws doctors off is that “free testosterone” declines…while “total testosterone” does NOT.

And here’s the crazy part… it’s not the drop in free testosterone you need to worry about…

There’s another hormone killing your libido, shrinking muscles, and hurting your natural male rockiness…

And thanks to Matt Cook, my husband and I have found a way to keep this other manhood-killing hormone low while keeping testosterone high
