For higher levels of SHBG one weekly injection will help lower SHBG serum levels, which you do and supplement with vitamin D.


Can anyone tell me how Vit D / D3 lowers SHBG???
I have always had high SHBG and due to that low free Testosterone
I take 2 sachets of 50mg Testo Gel each morning 06:30, along with Vit D3 & zinc, I will be getting bloods taken tomorrow for a further update
 
What do you're total and free testosterone levels look like? what do you're other hormones look like? I suffer from the same issue but I'm not on trt.

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.
