10 Best Ways To Lower SHGB

You know about testosterone, right?

It’s the hormone of male sexual desire and virility- and what makes us men. 

You probably heard by now that your testosterone levels drop with age… triggering a loss of sexual desire, erection strength, muscle tissue… while gaining in belly fat and man boobs.

But that’s only a partial truth.

That’s because most of your testosterone gets LOCKED UP almost IMMEDIATELY after its produced- rendering it “bound” and unusable.

In order for testosterone to perform its magic — it’s got to be Free.

When testosterone is released — a protein called “sex hormone binding globulin” — or SHBG for short – quickly snatches testosterone and binds it! Locks it up. And SHBG-bound testosterone becomes biologically inactive.

SHBG-bound testosterone is why it’s possible for medical tests to show you have “normal” total testosterone levels — when you’re actually LOW on the Free testosterone your body can only use!

Those tests record all testosterone in your bloodstream — including the inactive and useless SHBG-bound testosterone!
