    I'm 43, 5"11 and currently 164 pounds. Before DHEA I was 196 pounds with no sex drive, no morning erections, low T, depressed with high cholesterol. Despite having low T my Doc wouldn't give me TRT. I started cycling DHEA 150 MG first thing in the morning - 3 months on and 1 month off. My stomach is now flat with visible abs. I'm more vascular than ever. This might not sound like much to some people but I can toss a 55 pound truck tire tire over my head with one movement. Doctors don't care. Take your life back.

      Pal I recommend some blood work. You need to run total estradiol. I 200 per cent guarantee its off the charts! I 'm from the medical industry. (Reference Lab). 150 mg way too much! More is not better and doesn't make you testosterone go up that much but its does aromatize like crazy. I have used it 30 years!

    • @jimmiers8218
      @jimmiers8218 5 месяцев назад +4

      You get about 3 to 3.5 points of free testosterone with 25 mg of micronized dhea. If you use 50mg you get about 4 3/4 of free testosterone. The problem is without an aromatase inhibitor your estradiol will be too high.

      I'm 27 and 3 years ago my testosterone was 322. Got my blood work this week, its 400 for total testosterone. Free is 129 I have no sex drive, no morning erections. Doctor won't refer me to a urologist. He said my T levels are normal. Also have depression and anxiety. A1C is 6.1 which is prediabetic. Should I start with 50 mg of DHEA?

    I’ve been using DHEA on and off for years. It’s highly beneficial. I can tell when I need it. If I find I’m constantly fatigued, then the DHEA helps. Irritability and insomnia can be a side effect of it. To combat insomnia take it first thing in the morning. Or cycle off DHEA. It tends to be more beneficial for those who are older. 30’s and above. Especially 40’s and above though.

    since most of the people don't care about the other health benefits I will write about what most would care about DHEA. First of all we need to find an independent study on DHEA. For instance the study done in France with so many participants and researches. Why is it important? Because the result was published in a scientific magazine and Europe accepted DHEA as safe drug. The study was published in September 2000. According to the study; male participants got significant boost of DHEA-S. DHEA-S levels weren't accumulated in the body, but half life of DHEA-S is longer than DHEA. Not significant increase at E2 levels among males( which is the most potent estrogen that causes many problems) Significant increase at E1(this is the weaker kind of estrogen) but E1numbers became the same amount a healthy male would have during his early 20's(which means no adverse reaction) Not significant Test boost(but actually all males got around 15 percent Test boost that was considered as insignificant) Significant boost at ADG(this hormone is metabolite of DHT which gives boost to male characteristics and anti estrogen which means E1 boost even though wasn't that significant will be canceled) All the participants were sedentary. We know from other studies DHEA boosts DHT levels significantly and causes weight lose. So I wouldn't personally be concerned about estrogen levels but DHT levels(even though they don't exceed the healthy range some might be prone to hair loss) if it is combined with a healthy diet. Also DHEA-S is boosted in all studies around. DHEA-S itself a powerful hormone it itself increases even muscle growth. And other good news DHEA suppresses SHBG significantly that's why it boosts libido but also muscle growth because free testosterone will be boosted. Also just one human study without giving any information(that's why for me 2000 study is the main one because independent not funded buy any company or medical companies ) stated DHEA boosted just estrogen(they didn't even stated which kind) in that study all participants were obese which means with a metabolic disorder. We know for instance from dr Berg testosterone is very dependent on having healty liver. If someone is obese we can assume that person is having a fatty liver issue which will cause a estrogen conversion in the body. Using DHEA in a study among obese sedentary participants and concluding that it boosted estrogen levels same as expecting any anabolic steroid will turn someone into Jay Cutler without any exercise or diet.

Also, the levels testosterone is raised is very minimal, the effects more so leans on the utilization of testosterone we have - much of which comes from it's ability to lower SHBG levels.

    But would supplementing DHEA decrease your normal secretion of the hormone, as Testosterone supplementation does. I’ve been learning how to increase T /decrease estrogen by lowering cortisol etc etc but could we naturally increase DHEA in a similar way, as, this being the ‘precursor’ to these other hormones it is arguably more important to control. I don’t want to rely on supplements for the rest of my life, but is this the only answer, and..is it safe?

    This is not a well known topic of discussion but I've been taking DHEA since the early to mid 90s. The best one I found was produced by Prolabs but I don't think they make it anymore. My question to you Thomas is what do you think about Bulk Supplements DHEA in powder form?

      @@AbdulKalam-qh8ue DHEA exacerbates mania, it would not create it from someone who already did not have it. The user above would already have had issues and DHEA exposed it.

    Why would you take it when test is highest? Test has already been made at this point. Why not take it at night when you start making test???

    first thing you should mention is that you will fail drug tests as a pro athlete taking this "supplement". For people who cant get TRT this is a good alternative from what I understand though.

      It really should only be used to bring DHEA levels to more normal levels.

      Yes started my cycle at 50mg upped to 100mg for 2 week noticed huge growths but my shoulder traps and chest was out pacing the rest and was quite moody. Was 19 at the time and my dhea/dhea-s was already at its peak so made me look freaky.

      I would suggest Matcha green tea. One cup of that a day can be like 10 cups of green tea.
