Hi guys,


I having issues trying to determine if my DHEA S serum levels are low, from looking at the charts they seem on the low range but would like to hear from others and should I consider supplementing DHEA...

My levels: DHEA-S, serum 195.4 ug/DL

Thanks guys

I tested 176 and my doc prescribed 25mg daily. @63 years old he wants to see >300 on my last followup my DHEA came in at 254 and he made no change to the script.

IMO you should supplement. NOTE: some DHEA has additives so have issues with try to find pure DHEA only.

Anymore feedback on this, based on the lab my range is in the middle but using other charts it's on the low side, should I supplement with a low dose? Have most of you had positive results from supplementing DHEA?

Here's another lab result at the beginning of this year, I guess I was near the middle of the range, could it still benefit me to supplement?

F

DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE

518

112-955 (pg/mL)

DHEA
518 pg/ml
lab range 112-955

I'm in the same boat. I now supplement with 25mg of Pure brand. I don't want my levels too high, DHEA will increase estradiol levels

First I've heard of that. When I did my initial bloodwork, my DHEA was high but my E2 was low.

Mine was 39.7 ug/dl (range 48.2-344.2) in July. Supplementing 25mg 2x/day brought it up to 654 ug/dl. Now on 25mg/day, we'll see in another 6 weeks or so if it's back in range.
