So many post on low Shbg, what range is low shbg?

SHBG levels are influenced by your thyroid levels. The higher your thyroid levels the higher your SHBG.


Much more to think about when it comes down to altered SHBG levels.

For some men, it may very well just be due to genetics (SHBG polymorphism).

I’m not understanding something...what is the implication of low SHGB? I just found mine going through old labs and see that it’s 16. I’ve had a helluva time getting dialed in...

Many if not most low SHBG guys feel nothing from TRT even when dialed in to look ideal on paper.

Speaking from experience.
 
New to the forum and very new to trt (only 10 days in). I've had 4 tests pre trt over 18m and all with shbg with following results: 23 (latest and lowest) , 26, 31, 34 nmol/L. Should I be worried about having low shbg? Currently my protocol is e5d 125mg Sustanon. Do I need to move to EoD or every day? Worried I may be a non responder.
Pre trt my shbg was 32 now it’s 20 so I’d say you’re around average for a young dude

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
