Any idea on the dosage levels of vitamin d and magnesium that can influence SHBG levels?

Hi Kim,

I have not forgotten your post but so far the only dosage I have found in relation to SHBG is normal recommended daily amounts. So if you take a normal wide band multi vitamin already that should be enough. If I find anything I post an update on doses.

Hi Denita and Kim,

Just some FYI's, Vitamin D lowers SHBG and increases Free and Total T.

Also:

Vitamin D might influence steroidogenesis of sex hormones (estradiol and progesterone) in healthy women and high 25(OH)D levels might be associated with endometriosis. In men, vitamin D is positively associated with semen quality and androgen status. Moreover, vitamin D treatment might increase testosterone levels. Testiculopathic men show low CYP21R expression, low 25(OH)D levels, and osteoporosis despite normal testosterone levels.
