[QUOTE="ValkyrieXB70, post: 254352, member: 41461"] I'm early 40s. My understanding with SHBG is that it only stores T, and that it does not create or destroy T. Because of this, manipulating SHBG directly won't change free T levels. My doc put me on anavar specifically to lower SHBG. What happened is my free T stayed the same but total T lowered. It's like a water tank. You dump water in at the top, and drain it at the bottom. By closing the drain valve slightly, the water level increases until higher pressure at the bottom causes the outflow to match the inflow again, eg a new equilibrium. A more closed drain valve is like higher SHBG. I think when guys take supplements to lower SHBG and their free T goes up, that the free T increase is due to the supplement increasing natural T production rate, NOT due to the SHBG lowering. Can anyone comment or provide feedback on this hypothesis? [/QUOTE]
