DHEA Dosing Protocol

[Laphroaig]

Six months ago my DHEA was 66 range 38-313 mcg/dL. Started taking 100mg DHEA at bedtime about 3 months ago. My latest labs came back a couple weeks ago and my DHEA level was 510. My libido is better, mental energy, and my eyes aren't as dry, go figure. I'm going to cut back by alternating 50 and 100mg. Interesting side note, for a week I started taking my DHEA with all my morning supplements. All the benefits seemed to disappear, not sure why? So I'm back taking it right before bed.

With hormones you need to be consistent. Alternating 50-100mg doesn’t make much sense

Interesting, almost my own experience, I think it was an old bottle of DHEA I took at first, 25 mg got me from 25 >450. Now the brand is Natrol, and I elected to do 12.5 +~12.5 mg preg. Though I will check PSA in 20 days and see if any increase. Don't think there should be from DHEA/Preg, but I want to check.
