Average amount of test production

[e123low]

How many mgs per week of test does the average male produce naturally?

Thanks

thats a good questions as most readings come in the form of ng/dl. Most labs will give you a baseline range of about 250ng/dl-800ng/dl. I have seen some labs as high as 1000mg/dl for a high end on the scale. What does that convert into mg? I copied this chart but I'm sure someone knows what the real estimate is. I do assure you this though....its way lower in total mgs than most think. I hear insane accounts of people thinking certain dosages are appropriate for HRT when in reality if you got bloodwork done with those doses your levels would much higher than normal. Anyway....here is the chart.

Weight Equivalents
1 ton (US) = 2000 lb = 0.907 metric tons = 907.2 kg
1 metric ton = 10 6 g = 1000 kg = 2205 lb
1 lb = 16 oz = 453.6 grams (g) = 0.4536 kg
1 oz (weight) = 28.35 g = 0.0625 lb
1 gram = 1000 mg = 0.0353 oz = 0.001 kg = 0.002205 lb
milligrams (mg) = 0.001 grams
1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams = 35.3 oz = 2.205 lbs
microgram (mg) = 10 -6 grams = 0.001 mg
nanogram (ng) = 10 -9 grams = 0.001 micrograms (mg)
picogram = 10 -12 grams
1 ppm= 0.0001%= 0.013 fl oz in 100 gal =1 mg/kg=1 mg/L=1 mg/g= 0.379 g in 100 gal water= 8.34 x 10 -6 lb/gal=1ml/l
10 ppm = 0.001% = 10 mg/L 100 ppm = 0.01% = 100 mg/L1000 ppm = 1mg/g = 0.1% = 1000 mg/L
1 ppb = 1 mg/kg or 1 mg/L or 1 ng/g
1 ppt = 1 picogram/g
1 % = 10,000 ppm = 10g/L = 1g/100ml = 10g/kg = 1.33 oz by weight/gal water = 8.34 lbs/100 gal water

wasn't sust made to release at a constant rate over a month and made for people on HRT so they could have 1 shot a month. If so I assume they have 1 ml a month? If so surely its got to be roughtly 250mg a month.

3-11 mgs a week!!!!! thats it.... got it from one of the books i was reading a while back... from some Dr. dude... supposedly.... any new findings let me know.... hope this helps

I was always told the 250 was the average as well.. Interesting ques though..

Through all of my reading those number came up more than once, Ugly. Except it was 3-11mgs per day. I'll dig up the papers after work. That just seems extremely low, doesnt it?

i was told by my doc around 7-10 mgs a day..

 

[UglyDucklingSyndrome]

im sorry yes it was per day.... for a total of a max of 77 a week!!!! wrong wording thanks for clearing that up .... i type too fast sometimes :-(

i was told by my doc around 7-10 mgs a day..

Ive read the above several times during my 10+ years of reading/research........Hrt is usally something like 200mg of cyp every 2 weeks.........A little factoid for the newer guys to consider ,My first cycle I only ran 250 mg of schering test E. a week for 8 or ten weeks (I forget) and specifically remember gaining something around 20 lbs keeping 16lbs of it when it was all said and done ,putting me over the 200lb mark ,so take it EZ its a marathon not a sprint IMO...........................For what its worth I was way more motivated then ,being a young guy busting my ass.

(remember this is just ONE reference article I am citing)

J Clin Endocrinol Metab 82: 1492-1496; 1997

The results were: 0.07mg/h men or 3.7 + or - 2.2 mg/d men; 0.01mg/h women or 0.4 + or - 0.1mg/d women.

Various authors stated that very few men produce more than 70mg of endogenous test a week; less than 10% . Most men in 20s to 30s produce 35mg-50mg a day. However, pls note that the bioavailability of exogenous test can vary considerably btw individuals, hence men on HRT of 200mg Test E. (or even slightly more) biweekly many times do not seem to have super SUPRA-human testosterone values! The bio-physiology is complex. Normal consensus in the medical community regard 100mg Test E or C per week or 200mg biweekly is very safe and beneficial to those with lower endogenous test levels. Even at this regimen though, libido can still decline in approx 3.5mo (not uncommon), typical etiology is due to an increase in SHBG secondarily from raised Estrogen. Thus, supporting estrogen control as appropriate. Hope this helps.

Cheers!

My doc told me 6-10 mg is normal, can be up to 30 mgs per day during your teens. He gives me my results in the mg figures and they have been between 4mg and 12mg when I have been off

This article says 7-10mg. I have seen it start at 5mg also. So between 5-10mg ED. There are contributing factors such as diet, exercise etc that may determine how much you produce. If your overtraining, over stressed and drinking alcohol daily most likely you will be on the lower side.

Damn....

So you mean my 500mg/wk of HRT *wink* isn't going to be covered by my insurance?
