FREE & BIOAVAILABLE TESTOSTERONE CALCULATOR

These calculations more accurately reflect the level of bioactive testosterone than does the measurement of total testosterone. Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) circulate in plasma unbound (averaging 2 – 3%), bound to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and weakly bound to albumin. The SHBG-bound fraction is biologically inactive because of the high binding affinity of SHBG for testosterone.

Bioavailable testosterone includes free testosterone plus testosterone bound to albumin.

No responsability whatsoever is assumed for its correctness or suitability for any given purpose.

WARNING! The calculated free and bioavailable testosterone are reliable in most clinical situations, but should not be relied upon in situations with potential massive interference by steroids binding to SHBG; e.g. in women during pregnancy, in men during treatment inducing high levels of DHT (e.g. transdermal DHT, oral testosterone) or mesterolon
