Im 43 my level was 219. I tried andro gel and then found out all the prostate problems I was having was from my hair foliciles converting it to DHT. Bad deal. I tried the pellets, not good either. The levels are high at the beginning and taper off really quick. There is really no way to control the level your body is getting. I take injections 3x a week in the upper thigh. Saved my life. Went from 300 lbs and 38% bf to 220 10%. Good luck.
