Micro dosing anavar to lower SHBG?

[MrTwoCircles]

Hey everyone, I was listening to a podcast recently where someone from Merrick Health was talking about seeing benefits from microdosing Anavar, mainly due to its effect on lowering SHBG. Has anyone here experimented with this? Unfortunately, they didn't specify what they meant by a “microdose,” so I'm curious if anyone has tried this?

Buddy…proviron!

You don't need drugs to do that, boron or stinging nettle root can do this.

Microdosing anavar just to lower shbg sounds dumb as hell coming from a doctor.

This.

Can’t you just blast more steroids to crush shbg? Especially dhts?

How high is your shbg
That’s first question
Blood work will tell you

^^^^ this ^^^^^
SHBG has a purpose, including in part helping build muscle, bound testosterone still does work, has it's own androgen receptors etc.
Imma guess that this proposition is a net negative at any level, whatever you might get as a positive from a bit more free test is cancelled out and more by the neg sides from the var

Yes this was my initial thought when i head them say it! Wasn't sure if I was missing something though...

I think it was 15mg a week

Some people think it's smart to add a touch of var to their trt, but even in 10-20mg a day, you will have a shift in lipids in most people. It's not sustainable. You could try proviron at 25mg a day and see how that effects your lipids an shbg. Taking more test itself lowers shbg, some people may say well this will increase the sides, you kind of have to weigh it out as an individual. Will taking say 50mg more a week of test have less sides and a positive effect vs adding in some var. Var for sure will crush hdl and increase ldl.

It's all case by case and going to be different for everyone. It'll take some trial and error and lab work to tweak things.

I don't think you were if they're talking strictly TRT.

Yep def watch the lipids on Proviron it absolutely killed mine, a lot more than Var which ain't great either. I did not test shbg on it unfortunately. Also fortunately or unfortunately depending on where you sit I don't often hear others have that same complaint so it's certainly possible that I am in a small sub group with this problem. Or not many are testing or speaking up. Regardless I will continue the warnings for diligence.
