What is a good DHT level?

BioForge works to an optimal range rather than the lab's reference flag. For DHT that is 30–85 or Read against your total T, measured in ng/dL — LC-MS/MS. A result inside the lab's normal range can still sit outside the range where most people feel and function well.

DHT

Measured in ng/dL — LC-MS/MS

The most potent androgen — testosterone converted by the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme. Drives libido, body hair, and prostate growth, and is the hormone behind male-pattern hair loss.

What the numbers mean

These are the ranges BioForge works to. They are not the same as a lab's reference range, which is built from the general population rather than from people who feel well.

Low

<25 · Often finasteride or dutasteride

Optimal

30–85 · Read against your total T

High

>100 · Conversion, not dose

What moves DHT

Rises with testosterone dose, and much more with topical gels than with injections — skin is dense in 5-alpha-reductase. Also rises with excess body fat. Falls sharply on finasteride or dutasteride. A high DHT alongside a normal testosterone is a conversion issue rather than a dosing one.
