SHBG: Ignoring This Hurts Your Hormone Health
SHBG stands for Sex Hormone Binding Globulin. It is a protein produced by the liver that binds primarily to testosterone in order to transport it through the body. It also binds to dihydrotestosterone and estradiol. It can be a “canary in the coalmine” for chronic disease states, and is an important part of the whole hormone picture for both men and women.
