No. My labs come in low normal if I manipulate my SHBG. Otherwise my SHBG is higher than ideal.

I was not aware of the fact that low SHBG was a problem until I joined this forum. Fascinating.

Manipulating SHBG is cutting edge technology.

Modern medicine is just now becoming aware of its role. Hopefully there will be work done in regards to SHBG that will result in health/quality of life benefits.

We do know that SHBG increases after the age of 27.

25 years ago, the body building community was the first to experiment with HCG, Nolvadex and other compounds that are now a routine component of modern medicine. I expect the same to be true of SHBG.
