5 Proven Ways to Decrease SHBG and Increase Free Testosterone Levels

Hundreds of products advertise their products under the  caption of increasing Free Testosterone and decreasing SHBG. Some of these products include Oat Extracts (Avena Sativa) and especially promote their components 'avenacosides'. However, I haven't been able to find a single study to justify the use of oat extracts in boosting free T levels. The only evidence would be indirect, and based on oats interactions with prostaglandins (i.e the oats contain healthy fats/omega'6/GLA and beta-glucan which increases prostaglandins). 

In Scientific Study the only 5 ingredients that have been proven to bind and inhibit SHBG as well as increase Free Testosterone, are as follows.



  1. Tongkat Ali Extract : "Ali's Walking Stick" - preferably the 200:1 "Sumatra Pasak Bumi" of Indonesian Origin - an herbal remedy with prominent history as an aphrodisiac and profound history as a test-booster with particular emphasis on SHBG/Free Testosterone (1) (2) (3).
  2. Stinging Nettles Extract (but only the 1,3 divanillyltetrahydrofuran Extract)  - this herb has a long history as a male reproductive tonic (4), particularly for enlarged prostate, however, it has no significant effect on DHT levels (5) other than an increase produced by raising free Testosterone (6).
  3. Proviron (Mesterolone) - An androgenic compound (DHT) with a long-history of use in the modern-pharmacopeia as an infertility treatment for men with low sperm count & Quality (7) , as well as for impotence (8) and for stimulating masculine characteristics in those with hypoandrogenic states (9) , chromosomal disorders (10) or in those with idiopathic testosterone deficiencies. It binds tightly to SHBG like endogenous Dihydrotestosterone and thus allows for remaining Testosterone to become freed from the carrier protein (11) (12). {here is a formal discussion on the compound}
  4. Arimidex, to lower Estrogen levels. Only if necessary and there is an estrogen problem in bloodwork (Excess "E2"). Decreasing Estradiol levels can increase Free Testosterone and decrease SHBG (14).
  5. Decreasing Body Fat (!) and Lifting Heavy Weights (weight and medium repetition) is PROVEN to increase Free Testosterone (see here regarding weights) and resistance training can as well (!).
