In a recent interview Peat noted that prolactin was best around 4-7 for males and higher for women.
Were the values you posted for women? Or did Peat change his mind?
I regularly see people with libido/hair/mood problems with prolactin in the 9-12 range (along with increased serotonin, 150+).
EDIT: Hah, Charlie can you remove the practitioner status from my name?
Just to make sure there is no confusion about conversion factors between units. You are talking about ng/ml?
I sent Ray Peat blood work in ng/ml last year and he answered prolactin should be between 9 - 12. He didn't specify it was meant for women but since I am a woman that makes perfect sense. It makes sense, too that it can be higher for women but I have been wondering lately if there is a state of 'too little prolactin' and what the symptoms would look like.
