If one low shbg person has high free T on the last day before injection on a every 4 days protocol, then why do tell them to take more frequent injections? Their T is already high,
Maybe bioavailabile testosterone is what really matters??? Why the need to do more frequent injections

It's not the levels, it's the steadier hormone profile that you are after which means your levels are consistently higher because there are less fluctuations.

There are some men who are sensitive to these fluctuations and therefore find it difficult to get all the benefits of TRT.

Its because while the 4 day trough was high, the levels on day one and two were SKY HIGH. And everyone wants to pretend thats not true or not an issue - simply because they dont measure it.

Just because you didnt measure something, doesnt mean you can remove it from the equation!

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.
