Hi i just had a testosterone test come back at 16.9nmol/l (done in the morning). Fair enough that falls between the normal range of 11-40 but its on the low side. I have been feeling sluggish for quite some time, my beard grows very slowly and i have a very low sex drive.
I am very healthy(regular exercise, healthy diet, good sleep etc) and at 21 meant to be at the peak of health and testosterone levels the doc says i am okay because i fall in the normal range, but am i not right to be concerned about it?
I just get the feeling cos i am not at any serious health risk i get no help. but my quality of life is really affected by this.

There are various natural methods of increasing your testosterone. Did you know that leafy vegetables and nuts increase your testosterone, so does some exposure to sunlight? Check out Mistermanpower.com, its got a guide on this that I've been following, and my testosterone has gone up, and so has my sex drive. Feel free to email me if you got any questions

The normal range is the normal range, and does NOT indicate disease or deficiency. It cannot be and in your case is not, anything to do with your vague collection of symptoms. You seem almost determined to convince yourself that you have a problem with your testosterone, level flying in the face of evidence to the contrary. I am worried that many of your issues may be psychological rather than physiological. This is something you might want to discus with a sympathetic GP.

Teenage boys and guys through their 20's have buckets and buckets of testosterone throughout their bodies making them want to masturbate, look at their sex or the opposite sex, and want to have lots of sex. It's hormone related and will not decrease unless there is a medical deficiency in your system. It will not hamper your workouts. Testosterone also assists in building muscles, keeping body fat down, and build strong bones.

If you are worried, Google "tribulus terrestris" or look at this site:

It is a herb which increases the production of LH from the pituitary gland, which in turn causes the testes to produce more testosterone.

If testerone level is very low you will have problems in getting erection.If you are able to perform sex well,with out any problem,you do not think about this hormone.If you seek natural methods,eating germinated seeds,Vitamin E.cashew nuts and dates will help you to some extent.

i did not see where you posted a question but I'm assuming you're asking how to increase testosterone levels?
take some zinc, magnesium, L-Argine, eat walnuts raw, eat sunflower seeds raw, vitamin E, Sasasprilla, And Damiana and DHEA.

Maybe you just need to increase your protein intake
