Thread: How do you lower SHBG ?

  1. #1

    How do you lower SHBG ?

    Besides orally administered winstrol @ 10-20mg ED, what are some other ways to lower SHBG levels?

    Does masteron still cause a significant reduction in them even though ti is intramuscularly administered ?

    What are the negative effects of lowered SHBG in males ?

    SHBG effects ALL steroid hormones bioavailability correct ?

    I know someone has something to say ..........

    Doesn't anyone know how imortant this is !!??



    SHBG (sex Hormone Binding Globuline) binds to testosterone and lowers its bioavailability, in case noone knew adn thought this was a retarded question.

    I was waiting to see what other people had to say before I chimed in....anyway....

    Aromasin has the ability to lower SHBG, as does an Herb called "Stinging Nettle".

    What kind of dosage would Stinging Nettle be beneficial at for lowering SHBG?

    I have to look into it but I am wondering how much to use and to what degree it reduces it.

    SHBG does not bind to all steroids with the same affinity.

    Winstrol and proviron have a very high RBA for SHBG but trenbolone and trestolone (and i suspect other nandrolone derivatives) the RBA for SHBG is quite low.

    I was under the impression that longfolia/Tongkat Ali lowered or bound to SHBG. Anyone else?

    The exogenous application of Insulin (namely humalog).. and insulin-sensitizing agents is one route..

    Proviron has a very high affinity to SHBG. Excellent to add during the final 6-8 weeks of a cycle after SHBG has increased and during PCT.

    Yea and winstrol but I wish I would have just got some proviron too.

    And some anadrol and a bit of halo too but, next tiem I guess.

    Will masteron still be as effective even though it is injected?

    Yeah mesterolone (proviron) and drostanolone are actually almost identical to each other chemically. With proviron being DHT with a 1st position methyl-modification and masteron is DHT with a 2nd position methyl-modification. Although taking the drug orally has a better effect on lowering SHBG as well showed in Robert's article on stanozolol. I've seen proviron with an ester before.

    The same stinging nettles that grow all over the place in the UK and hurt like a bitch if you brush against them?

    Could you just brew up a nettle tea?

    Yeah. My granny made me drink that shit when i was younger. I guess she knew best afterall.

    So lower SHBG also increases DHT as it would other hormones right, since it binds to it?

    Shit lower SHBG seems t increase a lot of shit; insulin, thyroid hormone, testosterone unles I am misreading all this shit.

  24. #24
    Bump for the hell of it.

    Maybe hooker will happen to see it and throw in his thoughts on SHBG in general.

    I'm confused. Does shbg really lowered, or just blocked to an extent using subtstances that have high affinity to link to it. I normally use proviron.

    Certain compounds have a higher affinity to SHBG than others.

    It binds to the hormone and renders it unavailable biologically, so it can't exhibit its effects. It's more important than people know/think IMO.

    Now he specifically said "Exogenous application" would carbs fall into this category ?

    I dunno .........

    Physiological amounts will most def be enough to lower SHBG.

    if it helps NPP lowered my SHBG to extremly low levels while i was using it, is that odd or is it just me??

    Nettle will lower SHBG and/or bind to it rendering more free test...

    SHBG binds mostly to test and estradiol...Basically shbg regulates the sex hormones...this is one of the ways the body keeps the balance of sex hormones...

    Like another said high levels of insulin and igf-1 will also decrease SHBG along with high androgen levels...yet, high estrogen levels will increase it...

    Insulin, proviron and oral winny is the first that comes but as I see they have been mentioned above. All these are really great in freeing up test so they can do their thing.
