Our body has a built in "negative-feedback" loop to signal the brain to turn off production of hormones when the amount circulating in the blood is too high. When you take external supplementation to boost your hormone levels, the blood level of hormones rises and this feedback loop is activated. For this reason, most professionals recommend a resting period of a few weeks between cycles of hormonal replacement, including growth hormone and others. Interestingly enough, DHEA is not regulated by a negative feedback loop in the body. In other words, taking supplements of DHEA won't suppress your body's production of these hormones or cause the adrenal gland to rest, resulting in atrophy from the disuse. Theoretically, no "resting period" is required, although it is a good practice to have a resting cycle of a few weeks for every few months of therapy, as with all hormone replacements.DHEA replacement therapy offers powerful health benefits and is virtually risk-free. The usual starting dose is 25 mg. Men may require a higher quantity (up to 100 mg) while women may need less (up to 50 mg).
Im trying to understand that statement,since english is not my first langage.
This mean that taking ANY DHEA at all wont supress or shutdown the body Production?
So if someone is defecient , theres really NO NEGATIVES sides at all too supplement DHEA? Correct?
