It is better to perform testosterone free most of the testosterone in your blood attaches to 2 proteins: albumin and sex hormone binding globulin (shbg). Some testosterone is not attached to proteins, or free. Free testosterone and albumin-bound testosterone are also referred to as bioavailable testosterone.
