In another thread you said this:

Congrats on going on HRT. Now don't forget the UNLEASHED to make the most of your Free T levels.

I know you advertise for UNLEASED and all but I don't care about that. What I want to know is how will it help your free test levels if your free test is already high from HRT? Will it make the levels even higher? I guess what I'm saying is that if you're already at, say, 45 on a scale of 10-40, how much more can UNLEASHED really do?

You've said before that there are blood tests done on people that have shown this improvement - can you point me to them please, if they're available to see. I'm genuinely interested.

Thanks for your time.

UNLEASHED lowers SHBG so it will raise free T. It doesn't matter if you're already high or low, results vary depending on how much SHBG you have.

We ran tests when putting together the formula and I've tested myself many times since I get blood drawn every 3 months. I've always encouraged others to do a pre and post comparison and those who have attest that the Free T has gone up but I don't remember which threads they so it'd take some work to find them now.

Being on HRT does NOT guarantee your free test levels will be high.

Hey BRR do you know the scientific reasoning behind that? Just wondering if you can explain this to me a little better? Thanks! You can never learn too much!

+1 - the factors that go into free test--just do not lend themselves to a one-size-fits-all answer--

Yes, I know. That's why I gave the example of 45 pg/ml on a range of 10-40. The person in this example knows what his free test level is.

Nelson, thanks for your response. Do you happen to remember the results of any of your blood work? I understand it would be finding a needle in a haystack to locate your posts.

.

nelson, my understanding of the ingredients in unleashed is that it/they competed with testosterone for binding shbg and thus resulted in higher levels of free testosterone. not that it lowered shbg levels.

are there studies or blood test results showing actual lowered shbg levels?


to the reader, the end result is the same - higher free (bioavailable) testosterone -- I'm just asking about the mechanism

Your total Test level can be through the roof however, if most of that Test is bound to proteins SHBG and albumin it's in fact STUCK and not free to travel around and interact with the various cells in your body a.k.a....doing it's job.

A high androgen level has been shown to decrease the ammount of SHBG found in the blood. Also, drugs like Provirion that bind to SHBG with a much higher affinity than Testosterone itself can aide in keeping your FREE Test levels much higher.

It's subjective and varies from person to person (genetics) like anything else. Again, this is why getting regular blood work is so important. Without it, it's just a shot in the dark.
