Optimized Androgen Ratios

Meaning

Optimized Androgen Ratios refer to the precise, individualized balance between various circulating androgens, such as total testosterone, free testosterone, DHEA-S, and estradiol, maintained within a functional, health-promoting window. This optimization moves beyond simply normalizing total testosterone levels to ensuring the correct relative proportions for optimal anabolic, cognitive, and sexual health. Clinical practice demands an assessment of these ratios to uncover subclinical dysfunctions often missed by single-marker testing. Achieving this balance is key to sustained vitality.
