[QUOTE="Bcliff3027, post: 86965, member: 16816"] So higher SHBG is a good thing? I was reading this from the definitive trt manual about it.. wondering your thoughts.. my free test was low.. and SHGB was high.. In a healthy young male, 60% of testosterone is attached to Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG).103 SHBG is produced mainly by the liver and then released into the bloodstream. Hormones bound to SHBG can’t be used by the body and lose their anabolic effect. As men age, SHBG levels rise and bind strongly to the testosterone molecule lowering the body’s absorption of free testosterone and its many benefits.104 Hence, we want to have as much FREE (usable) testosterone available as possible. SHBG is an important marker of insulin resistance and studies have shown it an independent predictor of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes105. In aging men, the rise in SHBG and associated maintenance of total testosterone values may mask low levels of free testosterone. SHBG is a critical component of proper TRT evaluation. It is imperative your doctor is vigilant to your SHBG and free testosterone levels while on TRT. he suggests using stinging nettleroot to help control SHBG and also prevent conversion from free t to DHT.
