Excess testosterone?

I always see people trying to increase testosterone, but is it possible that I might have too much? I feel that my sex drive is excessive, even when taking PM and fin there is no reduction in libido or anything. Could it be other hormones that are excessive? If so is there anything to further balance hormones? Does maca just raise testosterone or if you have too much will it balance it out?

Geez j8, you have a problem that I'd like to have.

Maca doesn't affect hormone levels.

How old are you?

Nidhogge, are you low on T? How did that happen?

22

I thought Maca does raise your testosterone levels?

i'm 39 and I also have Testosterone on the VERY HIGH SIDE.

However my FREE TESTOSTERONE is within normal range but more towards LOW side of normal range.

means your SHBG is probably high then.
which could mean high e2 (estradioL)

hi blackjack,
you are RIGHT. my SHBG is extremely high but my E2 is in normal range on the low side. My E1 is on the HIGH side of normal range.

What does this mean?

thank you!

can you post your results including results and range.

Thanks Blackjack!

Testis Hormones:
DHEA-S 1174 pg/ml (norm range 1303 - 3557) LOW

Testosterone 11.2 ng/ml (norm range 2.8 - 8. VERY HIGH

Free Testosterone 18.6 pg/ml (norm range 14 - 320) LOW SIDE

DHT 1123 pg/ml (norm range 300 - 990) VERY HIGH

SHBG 78.3 nmo/L (norm range 15 - 45) VERY HIGH

Estrodial E1 31.2 pg/ml (norm range 10 - 30) HIGH

Estrodial E2 16.6 pg/ml (norm range 12 - 24) low-middle range

reducing e2 will bring down SHBG therefore increasing Free T.

CMP with liver panel, have you done this?

im not sure thats the correct E2 test or what lab you are using.Estradiol, Ultrasensitive, LC/MS/MS (30289X)
or Estradiol Sensitive (4021) (range 13-54) ; either estradiol test is fine these test are from Quest Dianogistics.

hi blackjack,
i have not done CMP with liver panel. what is this?

any suggestions to bring down E2? what supplementation?

SHBG is produced by the liver cells... maybe try cleaning up your diet / liver via herbs may help to reduce the 2.
Zinc will help also.
DIM

more importantly how do you feel? do you have symptoms of high e2 / low Free T?
fatigue, erectile dysfunction, sore/puffy nipples, aches?
