    Thanks Mike! I am 40, and began taking 35mg DHEA at bedtime about 2 weeks ago. Since then I have noticed a slight improvement in sense of well-being but I'm already a pretty happy guy. But even better, my libido, playful aggression and bedroom performance have seen a very pleasant increase. My wife and I are thoroughly enjoying the benefits.

  • @joeryan82
    @joeryan82 Год назад +10

    My experience with DHEA is that it's best taken in small doses in small bursts (2-3 days and then off for weeks). I'm talking about breaking open a 25mg capsule and putting about 2-5mg of the powder into water and drinking it. Pull back if you feel any sensitivity on the nipples.
    The DHEA metabolites like 3a-diol are potent neurosteroids but they'll also cause acne and increased hair loss, so be careful with this one.
    Benefits include acute increases in strength, fullness in the muscle, better skin, neuronal drive, and improvement in CNS function - even at these small doses.

For me, it's is most effective if I haven't supplemented it for a long time. That's why I like taking time off.
      If you're just taking for the first time, about 10-15mg for a 3-4 days, then a couple of days off. Repeat. Then a week or two off to see how you feel. Then try again. If you're over 50 or so, you may need to take a bit longer or at a higher dose to bring your levels into optimal range.

    The body's natural rhythm is to release DHEA primarily in the morning. Thus most expert literature suggests mimicking this natural rhythm, by taking DHEA only in the morning.
    Further, some more in-depth medical literature suggests that taking DHEA at night could upset the circadian rhythm and negatively impact sleep.
    Can you please elaborate further on why you'd suggest taking this as night?

    Hey Mike. Great video and great responses and engagement as well. In my clinical experience I’ve never seen DHEA supplements, increase testosterone in men, but certainly can do so in. women. There’s a lot of hype regarding the benefits of DHEA potentially in men in particular. There have been a few meta-analysis. Looking into this. In general, there seems to be get support for cardiovascular benefit. In older men, there seems to be support for the idea that DHEA can help with bone density. And then we have some interesting studies like the study out of UCLA and the journals cell that combined DHEA with human growth hormone a met Forman, which seems to have improved immunosenescence and reversed epigenetic aging markers.

    Thank you for this informational video. I tested my DHEA-S in saliva test, later also blood test. My level was only 1/4 to 1/5 of normal, maybe that is why I felt so tired most days.
    I tried doses and it made me very amped up and anxious. I could never take it at night, it can cause insomnia even when taken in morning.
    What I cautiously did was take 2.5 to 5 mg every other day. Besides making hormones, DHEA also has neuro stimulating effects on the brain.
    I am over 40 and can’t take that 40 mg suggested dose. I’d recommend for men to go low and slow, try only 5 mg, perhaps daily or every other day, see how you feel and sleep.
    It can make your skin oily also. Also be sure to monitor DHEA-S levels periodically. And some sort of cycle with off times.
    More energy and vitality is good, but anxiety and insomnia is not. Low & slow.

    Thanks again for the info. I've been checking my DHEA levels for a while. And was off and on with DHEA supps. My test in May of this year showed a 76 level. I started taking 25 mg a day. My functional doctor wanted me to take 50mg a day but I said I would do 25 first. Im a male 59 yrs old. I checked my DHEA again In October and my level was 146. I increased my dosage to 50mg for a month then back to 25mg this month. Can't really say with certainty that I feel any different. I started taking it because I was feeling real sluggish at that time. I wanted to see if this would help. I still believe in this hormone so not giving up. Recently I happened to check my old labs that were taken September 2021. My pregnenolone level was 67 out of a range of 25/260. Now my thinking is trying to raise this too because its considered the "mother" of hormones and makes DHEA too. I just ordered more DHEA 25mg micronized that dissolve under the tongue. I plan on taking 10mg of pregnenolone and 25mg of DHEA. ill re test in 30 days.

    Anecdotally, at mid 30s I once out of the blue took I think it was a 25mg dhea, didn't notice much that evening but the next day I woke up and felt incredible the entire day. I felt like I thought I should feel, calm, confident, strong, at ease with anything, anxiety was just gone(very rare for me). But never got the same result again, even with the same bottle. Years later I tried again but started with 10mg per day, to ease into it so I could notice which dose size was best. Did it for a week or so and noticed slightly enhanced energy, but one day I suddenly crashed energy wise. I was brutally lethargic which was extremely odd, and since there wasn't any other change in my routine I confidently attributed it to the dhea and haven't tried again. It's tricky because that one day when it worked was amazing, so much that a decade later I haven't forgotten, but haven't been able to recreate it and that lethargy was brutal. I wonder what that was about? Estrogen crash or something? No bloods to confirm but I highly suspect I'm reasonably low T due to reckless use of aas in mid 20s.

    20+ years ago, when I used to lift seriously, I used to take DHEA. I had it dosed in a liquid transport and would apply it to my inner thigh. The transport was nothing more than a clear, watery lotion with DMSO. It would allow the DHEA to penetrate the inside of the thigh and go straight to the bloodstream. This way, the bioavailability was through the roof compared to taking it orally and having your stomach acids and liver destroying most of it. At that time, I was at the greatest peak of my physical abilities in my life and got the most insane gains I have ever had. According to my wife, it had two major problems. 1) The sex-drive was ridiculously high and it would never let up. NEVER. 2) She didn't like kissing me when I was taking DHEA because she said it made my breath smell like rotten vegetables.

    dhea is a precursor to androstenedione which is a precursor to testosterone. i tried androstenedione decades ago back in my bodybuilding days and found it indeed did work, but as most scientists tell you: it increased testosterone for a few weeks, which then leveled off because of the body's reaction in reducing its natural testosterone in response. thus the requirement for cycling, just to keep a somewhat consistent level. the added testosterone, on top of making me edgy like way too much coffee, yielded hair loss from the testosterone breakdown to DHT. between the body's own reduction reaction, the unnatural feel of the added testosterone, and the hair loss, i decided to stop taking it and stay natural. i was in my 30s at the time, and even over 50 today, i will not go that route.

  • @beachstreet101

    I’m a 50 year old male and have been taking DHEA periodically since I was probably in my late 30’s. I tend to take a low 10 mg tablet twice a week which I’m sure is super low for some people. But I also didn’t want to have any side effects to have it cause other issues. In high amounts it can also cause insomnia so I tend to take it upon waking which is what’s suggested anyway.
    Definitely noticeable improvement in mood, energy, libido and muscle tone when I take it. I also workout regularly and have been since I was a teenager.
