[QUOTE="jacb, post: 218451, member: 18836"] Thanks Madman Now bear with me while I try explain my dilemma and form a question for you. As we know more and more people are now aiming for a particular Free Testosterone value, rather than simply increasing their previously favoured Total Testosterone values. The reasons for this are taken as understold For the purpose of this discussion. Obviously there is still the very valid “how do you feel”, “don’t aim for a number” discussion going on …. But at an early point in suggesting a TRT protocol the FT value is being considered increasingly. If SHBG regulates the amount of Free Testosterone according to the bodies perceived needs, surely the only way that an individual can increase his Free Testosterone is by supplementing his Total Testosterone to the point that the bodies production of SHBG is overwhelmed? But, why does the body need to regulate testosterone after it has been produced … It would seem to be more efficient it it simply produced less in the first place? Perhaps production is a slow process and SHBG is a faster control method of control? [/QUOTE]
