Testosterone starts dropping by 1% per year after age 30 in men
you can expect I believe it's about 1% drop in total test per year
with an approximate 2 to 3% drop in free each year as well
like postage 30 35 you can kind of expect a little bit of a the decline to start
so what what do we know about the amount of total testosterone over time in a guy's life um I know that after it Peaks you will have a steady as opposed to women where you see like a plummet in after menopause for man it's more gradual and you can expect I believe it's about one % drop in total test per year with a an approximate 2 to 3% drop in free each year as well so at the same time you had a 1% total te drop 2 to 3% free and this occurs well it depends on age you know lifestyle but in general like post AG 30 35 you can kind of expect a little bit of a the decline to start
roughly 1% per year drop in testosterone. And so a guy in his 50s now has I mean hell a guy in his 30s today has a lower testosterone than a guy in his 50s did 40 years ago.
