    To Wait or Not to Wait - Adding DHEA and hCG to TRT

    Yes, I agree that dhea will not/should not increase testosterone levels. But will increased testosterone levels as a result of TRT increase DHEA and thus negate, or decrease, the dose needed to bring DHEA back into the high end of range?

    To Wait or Not to Wait - Adding DHEA and hCG to TRT

    Can't speak to anyone else but I know Dr. Thierry Hertoghe is very clear that increasing testosterone will increase DHEA. I'll try to snap a picture of the page where he discusses it.

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.
