In this post, I am going to cover how to lower SHBG and show how this can naturally increase free testosterone levels.
When a man does take the step of getting his testosterone checked the results he usually will receive will be for total testosterone.
Now the way to look at total testosterone is that it's basically all the forms of testosterone you have in your body.
Some of this testosterone will be bound to SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin), some will be bound to a protein called albumin, the rest is free testosterone that is not bound to anything at all.
Because the testosterone that is bound is not readily available it can be useful to see it as a storehouse of testosterone.
Free testosterone is all the testosterone that is not bound to anything and flows through your blood every day.
