Coffee May Increase SHBG

[Jinzang]

I'm quoting the abstract, but it seems a rather weak result.

1,410 men aged 20 + years who attended the morning examination session of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988–1991) were included in the analysis. Coffee and soft drink consumption was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. Daily caffeine intake was estimated by multiplying caffeine content per cup times the daily frequency of coffee, tea, or soft drink consumption. Serum levels of hormones and SHBG were measured by immunoassay. Associations of frequency of beverage consumption or estimated caffeine intake with hormone levels were examined using multivariable linear regression.

Coffee consumption was positively associated with SHBG concentration (p = 0.045) taking lifestyle factors into account, but mutually adjusting for testosterone and estradiol attenuated the association; no association with SHBG was observed for soft drink consumption or caffeine intake. No associations between caffeinated beverage consumption and androgen or estrogen concentrations were observed.

What is easy to overlook is that of all the things that may "increase" SHBG, it is always by some trivial amount, so if you are a low SHBG guy like me and you read that eating more of X, Y, and Z will raise SHBG, be aware that it wont raise it enough to help - not even close.

Say your SHBG is 10 and you raise it 25% - OK, now you are at 12.5. What we low SHBG guys need is something that raise it like 200%-300% but of course nothing like that exists. Using the same example of a SHBG level of 10, raising it 300% would get you to 30 - a solid number.

I don't believe in such statements. There are a lot of fake information and conspiracy theories on the Internet. There may be a little possibility of increasing SHBG, but only if you drink large amounts of coffee per day. If you focus on the quality of your coffee, it will be harmless for your health. I recommend you start using stock coffee packaging. This will protect your beverage from any outside bacteria, as well as it will keep the temperature and the flavor intact. Another layer of protection will give you the assurance that you consume a drink of a high standard. Coffee Packaging | Stock & Custom Printed Packaging | The Bag Broker Middle East

Things like coffee raise the level by a very tiny percent as well. Not enough to help you if you are a low SHBG guy.

Molecular Mechanisms of Coffee on Prostate Cancer Prevention

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common types of cancer among men, and coffee is associated with a reduced risk of developing PCa. Therefore, we aim to review possible coffee molecular mechanisms that contribute to PCa prevention. Coffee has an important antioxidant capacity that reduces...

Yes, coffee consumption may increase sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels:

Women
A study found that women who drank four cups of caffeinated coffee a day had higher SHBG levels than non-drinkers. Another study found that women who consumed large amounts of coffee and caffeine had a reduced risk of low SHBG.

Men
A study found that men who drank coffee more frequently may have higher SHBG levels.

SHBG and type 2 diabetes
Low SHBG is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, especially in women. Some studies suggest that coffee consumption may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Coffee and Caffeine Consumption in Relation to Sex Hormone–Binding Globulin and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Postmenopausal Women

Coffee consumption has been inversely associated with type 2 diabetes risk, but its mechanisms are largely unknown. We aimed to examine whether plasma levels of sex hormones and sex hormone–binding globulin (SHBG) may account for the inverse association ...

Evidence from clinical trials suggests that coffee consumption may increase total testosterone (22) and adiponectin (23) but has no effect on SHBG (22), CRP, or IL-6 (24).
