Dhea level results

[Rabbit91476]

So got my level back what do you all (and Vince) think. Could I benefit from supplementation

 

[Vince]

I'm sure you saw my levels, I'll post for anyone who's interested.


DHEA-Sulfate01 499.0 High ug/dL 30.9-295.6 age adjust.

I think you should increase your levels to the top end, just to see what results you get.

I personally found absolutely 0 benefit from supplementing DHEA, this is another 'expensive urine' sort of pill for me

Philosophically I fall in between these two. I'm not sure I notice obvious benefits from supplementing, but DHEA does do more than act as a precursor hormone, and levels decline with age. Therefore, when we don't know what's optimal I favor targeting midrange youthful levels. You're still on the young side, so if you want to I would experiment with small doses, maybe 6.25 mg once or twice daily. I'd aim for serum DHEA-S of 250-300 mcg/dL. If you experience any negatives then just stop. Your level isn't extremely low. You may simply want to maintain it as you age.

Good points here. I should start supplementing again.

Thx. Ordered 25 mg tabs

 

[Rabbit91476]

Thanks Vince I will start on Monday. Better to start when I have three days off and not when I’m taking care of patients.

I also found it awful. I felt like crap while taking it. Symptoms similar to high estrogen. It's not available (OTC) here in Canada. I bought in to the hype and purchased some while south of the border. Did absolutely nothing except make me fee l like shit lol

Pure brand, Pregnenolone 10 mg and 25 mg of DHEA.

How long were your levels?

How long were your levels?

How low were my levels, it's been so long since I started supplementing with DHEA. I really don't know. I'm sure I could go back and look at my old labs on LabCorp site. But I'm at work right now.

Hmmm. I wonder though if dhea is one of those things that isn't so much about how one feels, but what it does to our bodies like strengthening the immune system longevity.

could be very well? I mean DHEA is a component produced by your body. it must serve a purpose no doubt. I don't see harm supplementing, and some TRT clinics do pay attention to it. maybe I just take way too many supplements, trying to reduce the pills (40/day) and I might re-assess

I hear ya. I'm down to 20 or so, but things aren't right so I'll be heading back up soon lol

My doctor has me on 100mg DHEA and I feel fatigue and get absolutely nothing done while taking it. It’s crazy thoug, doctor has me on a high dosage of estrogen blocker too which makes no sense, because it looks like the DHEA is driving up estrogen. Don’t feel well taking either.

 

[Rabbit91476]

I didn’t feel fatigued but the head pressure from the elevated blood pressure sucked

My SDHEA is 217 mcg/dl. I have 25 mg capsules here. Should I ingest low dose, e.g. 1/4 6.25mg, as a booster?
