HoneyPower uses nettle leaf on three of its four pillars. Learn what SHBG and free testosterone mean, in plain words, and why nettle connects the formula.
Total versus free
Testosterone travels in the blood in two ways: bound to proteins, or free. Free testosterone is the portion the body can use right away.
What SHBG does
Sex hormone-binding globulin, or SHBG, is a protein that holds on to testosterone. Lifestyle and age both affect how much SHBG a man has.
Where nettle fits
Nettle leaf contains lignans that are studied for how they interact with SHBG, which is linked to free testosterone.*
A three-pillar ingredient
Nettle also supports prostate wellness and appears on the circulation pillar, which is why the brand calls it the amplifier of the formula.*
Habits that help
Strength training, enough sleep and a healthy weight all support healthy hormone levels.
