It could be because SHBG and albumin to a lesser extend are responsible for delivering steroids to the tissue. Think of hemablobin. It gets to muscle where myotropin lives and myoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen than hemaglobin. So that is how oxygenis delovered to muslce. Similar is probably the case with SHGB. Secondly, when it is low the test is free and is more quickly metabolized. So double whammy. Not delivered efficently and burned up more quickly.People who have low SHBG naturally tend do respond horribly to testosterone and TRT, there's plenty of us who don't respond to test, no clue why!
If you have low shbg due to androgens, that's different, you're probably mid range off of everything
