SHBG Question

**David LoPan** · 07-20-2014, 09:34 AM

I was asked from a guy I know how to "reset his SHBG due to his test use" and I gave him a funny look. He stated that he heard that drinking bleach could reset this which I told him was a poison and not to do it. We talked about his cycle and PCT. He is now using HCG along with cycle and doing a proper PCT in a few weeks. He is worried about wanting to have kids in a few years and does not want to mess his chances up.

I have to admit that I am not really familiar with this. I just do not know much about this other than the basics. I know it is Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG), Serum and it can be part of a blood test. I did Google and a search this site for SHBG but could not find much information on it.

Anyone with some knowledge, other than Google or old posts, can help me understand this better as it relates to AAS use.

Thanks for your help.

SHBG bind to testosterone to make it useless the more you have the less testosterone is used.
(I had upper range total test but lower range free test cause my SHBG was twice the upper range)

simple version its about that

Is there was what I had read. Just cant get a grasp on how to control this. I am a TRT pt so I could care less about kids. I know if its to high it can result in Hypogonadism. So is HCG the way to control this or is there a better serm or medication to take for it. Both for on and off cycle?

as fsr as I know HCG could help.reduce it slighly due to the small.androgen increase.

but the fastest way would be to increase your dose of testosterone for a while. the more androgen you have the less SHBG you have.

serms wont help(as far as I know)
aromasin lower SHBG.
winstrol is a extremely efficace way.
any other steroids will help.

on or off cycle suplement with vitamin D(it will greatly help).

off cycle, danazol(if you can get your hands on it) would be a good choice
stinging nettle roots as supplement will help also.

First, "reset his shbg due to test use" doesn't make sense. Test IS the quickest way to suppress shbg. And if your friend thinks low shbg is a good thing he's quite wrong. Mid-range is good, low is bad and is a potential indicator for other problems (metabolic syndrome, etc)
Has this guy even had BW?

Some good advice above.
Remember, SHBG rises with age.
Danazol, Proviron , ect more temp fixes. A thought would be to possibly use one of the items mentioned temporarily at the same time you optimize your D, Nettle, Avenacosides, etc. Then when you stop the med you may have a better chance of holding it down.

Thank you Kelkel, that is what I was thinking. I was very confused by his question.

He is a physic body comp guy and placed very high at his last comp in Chicago. He knows a ton about food and working out but little about AAS. He is about 27 and this is his 2nd cycle, which was way out of whack. I think he has been getting bro science. He was/is tired of being natty and losing to people that are clearly on AAS.

Sometimes when people ask me questions I think I should know and it drives me nuts. I didn't have a clue what he was talking about. I talked to him about HPTA shutdown and endocrine system and how a negative feedback works. We talked a lot about his AI, HCG and why to run it on during cycle not PCT, and correcting how and when to do his PCT.
