SHBG (Sex Hormon Binding Globulin)

[Conan21]

Do we need this hormone? Does it serve any health benefits?

Are there any drugs to lower this? Would there be any draw back
if you did so?

i know the herbal supplement Long Jack (tongkat ali or something like that) is supposed to either lower the levels of it, or bind to it... essentially freeing up more test...

i dunno about stopping it completely

wow your late bro LOL, this subjects been around a whiilleeeee. You most certainly want to lower SHBG in order to create more free test in your body. I always make this a staple i feel i grow SOOO much better when i use winstrol and proviron along with my test....

Top 3 in order to lower SHBG
Insulin
Proviron
Winstrol

Thanks Bro, never knew about slin lowering SHBG. Does it work in the same way as winny and proviron ??

Methandriol di-propionate would be another good choice

Isnt that for upregulating receptors?

In a test-based cycle, I can't think of a good reason NOT to use mesterolone. Winstrol almost as good but somewhat better in depot than tablet IMO.

from a good post at another site:

Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a glycoprotein synthesized by the liver. Circulating androgen and estrogen concentrations influence SHBG synthesis. Elevated testosterone, for example, causes SHBG synthesis to decrease, whereas high estrogen stimulates SHBG production. The regulation of SHBG synthesis, combined with SHBG's higher affinity for testosterone, impacts bioavailable testosterone levels.

SHGB binds up to 98 percent of the steroid hormones in the blood including 5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), testosterone and androstenediol with particularly high affinity, and estradiol and estrone with slightly lower affinity

I have also read that approximately 50% of circulating T is bound to SHBG. SHBG is affected by insulin levels, the higher the insulin level, the less SHBG is produced or is circulating, and vice versa.

Hmmm interesting...........I never knew that of Winny, that explains why I used to love it with my test cycles more than dbol etc. Had to stop using it though as it was wrecking my joints! Guess I'll be giving proviron a shot next time though I have used it in the past for controlling estrogen but honestly didn't notice anything of note as far as increased results go.

Stinging nettle root lowers SHBG.
