Life Extensions - DHEA good or bad ?

I need to increase AI while on dhea so wondering if benefits outweigh the negatives.

.25mg anastrozole ed

Wish i didn't need so much AI... but this seems to be my best bet.

There's always room for improvement...



Does the "ed" mean every day? This seems like a awful lot of Anastrozole!

Sometimes every Other Day.

Sometimes every Day.

Sometimes every 1.5 days.

I’m at the point where i can tell if my e2 is too high... loss of morning wood along with other factors.

Estrogen fluctuates.

Nothing is perfect but through labs and “feel” i can manage e2.

I’m low shbg. Body processes everything pretty quickly.

The key for me was moving to eod cypionate injections... daily would probably be better.

We want a steady plane.

28g 1/2” insulin of course.
 
Will thanks for the background. Do you receive compensation from LEF other than for the articles? Thank you

I have done some consulting work for them on and off over the years. I know the owner well and hence, LEF and a few other companies I have direct inside knowledge of, I will recommend and or use myself. I pay retail for my LEF products BTW.
 
25mg sublingual from life Extension took my DHEA from 200 to 550 overrange.

So now i cut the pill in half and take 12.5mg per day.

I need to increase AI while on dhea so wondering if benefits outweigh the negatives.

60mg cyp eod
.25mg anastrozole ed
12.5mg DHEA pm
30/30 Armour
10mg cialis nightly

Didn't even know they had sublingual.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
