What is the normal amount a female is suppose to have for testosterone. Im going to request a copy of my test results monday.
The Spiro brought my testosterone down from 50 to 25!
I wasnt successful losing weight until I started counting calories too. But I didnt have any adverse affects from the Spiro except having to drink more water to stay hydrated as its a diuertic. At first I was going to the bathroom to pee a lot more but my body adjusted to my new normal after a few weeks.
