List of supplements that supposedly lower your SHBG levels!!

[FreakMonster]

I've put a list together of supplements that can lower SHBG levels. If anyone else has any other recommendations post them up.

List:
-Proviron
-GH
-Avena Sativa Extract/Green oat that contains Avenacosidas-supposedly there is none of this product out on the market that shows that it works.
-Carao Extract-Theory only
-Utica Dioca aka Stinging Nettles
-Nettle Root-I think it's the same thing as above.
-Muira Puama

I've also heard that Clomid increases SHBG levels. If anyone knows for sure let me know.

You're right. Bump for more input from the experts though.

There is no avena sativa on the market that is the same kind as what was studied.

The SHBG lowering was just a theory about carao, nobody really knows what carao does at this point.

We will find out soon enough on the Avena Sativa. I am taking 1.5grams ED for 4 days now. My base line blood work was 198 total, 7 free. I will be getting blood work done in 3 weeks. We will see if anything has changed. I will post my results. I tell you one thing, my morning woods are just like it was when I was 18. Something is working.

What elevates SHBG?

Has Nelson or anyone discussed the mechanisms by which SHBG becomes elevated?
I have always thought that the single most potent stimulus was estradiol levels. I remember when I was first on HRT w/ test, my SHBG level started around 40-50 and as the test dose increased, my SHBG crept up to 125! I was on no aromatase inhibitors except Chrysin.
Could it be that carao has anti-e effects, or, like Danazol, inhibits SHBG production through a variety of mechanisms?

Whats a good dosage for the nettles?

Off the top of my head without having done any specific research on the subject I would have to say that an increase is SHBG relational to increased androgen levels is simply one of the many ways our bodies try and remain homeostasis.

On a side note, the SHBG reduction provided by GH is likely one of the main muscle building aspects of that compund. GH, from everything I have read, leaves test levels unaltered however the simple reduction of SHBG can alter the test/SHBG ratio into an anabolic advantage.

The posts on carao affecting SHBG were speculative only. There is absolutely no evidence yet that it does.

We don't yet know a mechanism of action as to how carao works. We don't even know how it affects RBC.

Hopefully more will be known once some people get key blood panels.

The only PROVEN drug in lowering SHBG is Mesterolone i.e. Proviron.

The rest are second-rate.
