Brief Answer:
It is normal but on the lower end!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

For your age, this value is normal but more towards the lower end of normal. I will suggest that you only do a control in three months. With two values, we would be able to see the trend and recommend whether supplementation might be necessary or not and more so if there are any symptoms like sexual impotence and hair loss.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

There is sexual impotence but no hair loss. I should wait the three months before taking a supplement?

Hi,

I will suggest we at least wait and confirm this value before starting treatment. This is so because your values, though on the lower end are still actually in the normal range.
