I have been on TRT for almost one year now and I am trying to keep my Total Testosterone around 1100-1150 ng/dl. Protocol and bloodwork results below:

SHBG is mentioned a LOT on this forum, and often many men are unhappy with their levels. Very few comments regarding SHBG are positive in nature, in fact SHBG is seen as a problem by many, and in the steroid community it is seen as something that needs to be lowered otherwise it'll "steal" all...

1.25 mg arimidex per week
This puts me at around 1.000 ng/dl and keeps my e2 low.
Now my SHGB is 21 which falls into the normal range...
Hey guys I have low Shbg 15-18nmol/l pre-trt

I am currently on 150mg/week split on...

My last results:
- testosterone 14.81 nmol/l (ref 10,4-37)

As shown in the figure above, about 2 percent of the testosterone in the body is active. This “free testosterone” is not attached to binding proteins that would prevent it from interacting with its receptor.
About 40 percent of the body's testosterone is attached to albumin. This is a protein...
Feedback please from individuals that have lowered SHBG and what their protocol is/was.
I've searched and found: estrogen/AI medication, danazol, stinging nettle and milk thistle quoted, but I would like to see more applied examples to avoid unnecessary supplements and medication.
Thanks!
