DHT For SHBG

[Slims]

Would increasing DHT levels reduce SHBG?
All of my blood panels come back fine except for SHBG (high) and free testosterone (low).

DHT can reduce SHBG, yes.

One of our products, Hyperion is also very good at it!

UK retailers really need to start stocking Apex Alchemy. Shipping it domestic just puts it above budget and the risk of customs confiscating/"disposing" it.

Oh, yeah. .... I agree.
I forgot you aren't domestic (to us).
Sorry, brother.

Here's a quick blurb...
Of course there's a lot more deeper, more wordy articles out there on the subject
......

Yes, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) affects sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG):
Binding affinity
DHT has the highest binding affinity to SHBG, followed by testosterone and then estradiol.
Regulation
DHT plays a major role in regulating SHBG. For example, in prepubertal boys, DHT decreases the concentration of SHBG in plasma.

Really appreciate that info @Renew1 Thank you.
Hopefully you and the guys at Predator or Unreal can come up with something to bring Apex to the UK soon

Just thought I'd update this...

I took Stano-Plex at 600mg per day for a straight 3 days between two blood tests, in a bid to lower my SHBG and raise free testosterone. I didn't change anything else, in my diet or supplementation, both blood tests were done at the same time of day and under the same (12 hour fasted) conditions.

Pre Stano-Plex
SHBG- 90.900nmol
Total Testosterone- 25.000nmol
Free Testosterone- 0.254nmol

Post Stano-Plex
SHBG- 62.100nmol
Total Testosterone- 22.800nmol
Free Testosterone- 0.308nmol

That's
SHBG down by 28.8nmol
Free Testosterone up by 0.054nmol

Looks like your total Test went down also, that’s probably the main reason your SHBG went down. Interesting that your free still went up.

How long was it between testing?

30 days between the two tests.

Total testosterone went down by 2.2nmol, but that's probably due the suppression caused by the epi-andro.
