I personally think DHEA is overrated. if you're on HRT with an anti-e your good to go. Ive read up thoroughly on DHEA and see no real benefit and no real science to back up the so called benefits.
You think it is best to just accept DHEA lowering with age?
Bloods came back and my DHEAS was 216 so a little on the low end of normal for my age (32). Anyone know any good way to get that up without raising my estrogen? (E2 is 33)
Are you on TRT?
I want to use 25-50mg from Life Extension but worried about the increased estrogen side. I can't find any data on how dramatic the E2 increase is.
I also am confused whether DHEA or 7-Keto DHEA is better. Apparently, 7-Keto doesn't raise estrogen but I don't know whether it increases blood levels of DHEA or not.
Supplemental DHEA (if sub optimal-- deficiency is present) goes beyond boosting libido and sex hormones. Even then, that's up for debate and has shown more promising for females than males.
I know several "in-the-know" clinicians that highly recommend supplemental DHEA.
Maybe individuals should "research" the biological processes involved in neurogenesis, endothelial function, antiglucocorticoid activity, vascular remodeling, ect.
To avoid first pass degradation, I'd suggest taking 25mg sublingual.
I've yet to know anyone to be that sensitive to low doses of DHEA.
Patiently awaits that someone to chime in how it caused gyno. If that's the case, you're sensitive to testosterone on a mg to mg of DHEA to testosterone cyp/ethn.

Any advice on where to find quality sublingual DHEA. Couldn’t seem to find any when I was looking last week.
Great question. Pregnenolone is likely much more of a good idea than DHEA from what I've read.Stewie,
What’s your opinion on taking pregnenolone with dhea while on trt?
I’ll repeat what I said in another thread. I started DHEA while taking hrt several weeks ago. It definitely gave me more energy. 25mg made my nipples itch. Started taking DIM with it and it went away. I recommend it ! Best thing to do is try it and see for yourself! I am more productive with it and clothes are tighter!
Protocol. 120mg hrt. 25mg 2x a day. DIM 200 mg 2x a day
Life Extension has it
