So, and then there are some other more like tangential supplements that are not as like,

obvious no brainers that are helpful.

They're just facilitating mechanisms that are not like this is a vitamin you need almost regardless of what your test levels were kind of thing.

Yeah.

I think one that I would be worth mentioning, all but the literature isn't super robust.

It is a boron.

So that potentially has a suppressive effect on SHBG levels.

There's some literature that looks promising, all but

I wouldn't hang my hat on and say it's a guarantee.

It's going to suppress your SHBG from like the high end of the reference range to something that's like much more, you know, much better.

But like it may, it does seem to work for some people.

And in general, it can be a supporting adjunct that, um,

some people are, it's not something you typically get through your diet and like significant quantities anyways.

Like often people will, it'll come into multivitamin typically, but the quantity that moves the needle for SHBG, I believe it was like six to 12 milligrams and can be meaningful for actually liberating free testosterone, not for actually producing more total T. Um, the other one that's probably worth mentioning ashwagandha specifically, uh,

extract that is standardized to a sufficient quantity of with analyze not just your standard run-of-the-mill generic ashwagandha you want to look for ideally a patented you know uh sensoril or a ksm-66 these are patented formats of ashwagandha that are standardized to a um target yield so you know that what you're getting is what you're supposed to be getting rather than relying on you know

certificates of analysis from China of a generic extract.

So I would.

With analytes.

It's like the, it'll show right on the label.

It'll be like ashwagandha bracket standardized to X percentage with anilides.
