Androgen Optimization Metrics

Meaning

Androgen Optimization Metrics are a comprehensive set of biochemical and clinical parameters used to evaluate and guide the process of achieving an ideal balance of androgenic hormones within the body. These metrics extend beyond a single total testosterone number to include free testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), and key androgen metabolites like dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The goal is to ensure adequate androgen signaling for tissue health, vitality, and well-being without inducing adverse effects. Careful interpretation of these data points allows for precise, patient-centered adjustments in hormonal therapy.
