Free Bio-Tools for Men
When it comes to checking your Testosterone, most primary care practitioners will order certain labs for you. When they order Testosterone, it is almost always Total Testosterone. It not bad to check your TT (total testosterone), but it doesn't give you a clear enough picture of what's going on.
Through these Bio-Tools, you can get a very basic estimation on your FREE Testosterone and your Bio-Available Testosterone. We also attached a SHIM (Sexual Health Inventory for Men) Test for ED.
To learn more, visit our office and receive a Blood (plasma) and Saliva Test.

Free Testosterone Estimation
Free Testosterone refers to the unbound and biologically active fraction of testosterone circulating in the bloodstream. Unlike total testosterone, which includes both bound and free forms, free testosterone represents the portion of the hormone that is readily available to interact with androgen receptors in various tissues throughout the body. Calculating free testosterone is particularly relevant in understanding an individual's hormonal status and assessing potential hormonal imbalances.
So-Called "Normal" Free Testosterone Ranges
Age ................................. Adult Male
30 - <35..............................4.85-19.0
35 - <40..............................4.65-18.1
40 - <45 .............................4.46-17.1
45 - <50..............................4.26-16.4
50 - <55............................. 4.06-15.6
55 - <60............................. 3.87-14.7
60 - <65..............................3.67-13.9
65 - <70..............................3.47-13.0
70 - <75..............................3.28-12.2
75 - <80..............................3.08-11.3
Bio-Available Testosterone Estimation
Bioavailable Testosterone represents the fraction of testosterone that is both free and loosely bound to albumin in the bloodstream, making it biologically active and available for cellular uptake. Calculating bioavailable testosterone is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of an individual's androgen status, as it accounts for the testosterone that can readily interact with androgen receptors in tissues.
Normal Bio-Available Testosterone Ranges for Adult Males
Ages 20-30: Approximately 110 to 575 ng/dL
Ages 30-40: Approximately 100 to 500 ng/dL
Ages 40-50: Approximately 90 to 475 ng/dL
Ages 50-60: Approximately 80 to 450 ng/dL
Ages 60-70: Approximately 70 to 425 ng/dL
SHIM Score
Score 1: Very Low.....Score 2: Low.....Score 3: Moderate.....Score 4: High.....Score 5: Very High
The SHIM (Sexual Health Inventory for Men) score provides a quantitative measure to assess the severity of erectile dysfunction (ED).
22-25: No erectile dysfunction: A score in this range suggests that the individual is likely experiencing little to no difficulty with erectile function.
17-21: Mild erectile dysfunction: Individuals with scores in this range may experience occasional difficulties but generally have satisfactory erectile function.
12-16: Mild to moderate erectile dysfunction: This range indicates more noticeable difficulties with erectile function, impacting sexual satisfaction.
8-11: Moderate erectile dysfunction: Individuals in this range may experience significant challenges with erectile function, leading to a notable impact on sexual satisfaction.
5-7: Severe erectile dysfunction: A score in this range suggests severe impairment of erectile function, significantly affecting sexual satisfaction and performance.
