lab reference range

Optimal ranges are tighter than standard lab ranges and reflect functional-medicine targets, not the populations they were derived from. Reference bands depend on sex, age, and circumstance — Juno's lab analysis layers your profile context onto the printed range when you paste a value.

Peptide relevance

More potent androgen than testosterone, produced from T via 5α-reductase in skin, hair follicles, prostate. Elevated DHT drives androgenetic alopecia and benign prostatic hyperplasia in susceptible users. Most relevant to users on TRT (TRT raises DHT alongside T), users on AAS, and users on hair-loss medications (finasteride/dutasteride SUPPRESS DHT — reading DHT confirms 5α-reductase inhibition is working). No direct peptide effects in common stacks. KEY CAVEATS: LC-MS/MS strongly preferred over immunoassay for accuracy; morning draw when paired with T. RANGES FOR ADULT MEN; women typically <10 ng/dL.
