    SHBG High ; free Testo low

    I am 49. Got my blood work back.

    Total Testosteron 692 ng/dL (250-1100 ng/dL)
    Free Testosteron 58.2 pg/mL ( 35.0 – 155.0 pg/mL)

    SHBG 78

    My doctor told me that this values are ok… what do you think ?
    I think that my free testo is to low and my SHBG is to high ???

    Is there a way to lower SHBG to get more free Testosteron ???

    Thanks.

    Check out some 'Stinging nettle root'. It has a reputation for lowering SHBG. Also take your Omegs 3,6,9 (EFA's). I've heard Proviron is also an anabolic route that will lower your levels, but you might stick to the natural methods first.

    I'll be 49 soon.
    My results:
    Total = 211
    Free = 67

    Waiting for an appointment with my endo. Fingers crossed.

    But based on everything I've read, your test levels look OK for and your endo will probably say no need for TRT

    Do you have an E2 level? There is often a correlation between high E2 and SHBG. Not always, but often getting E2 down into range if it is too high will pull down sHBG somewhat.
