None spring to mind. Simply getting older will do it though.
thyroid meds raise SHBG
Why do you want to boost it? Doesn't high shbg tie up free test in blood?
Agree, the data is pretty clear on this. The main limitation is the extent to which you can enhance thyroid hormones without unacceptable side-effects. My experience is each 30 mg of Armour Thyroid increased my SHBG by about 10 nmol/L, which was not good for me in that I had high SHBG to begin with. Long story covered in a different thread.Quote:
