DHEA and HCT/Hemoglobin

[GreenMachineX]

Does anyone know if DHEA supplementation effects H/H? The few times I’ve tried using it my h/h were the highest they’ve ever been for me, but there were definitely other factors that could’ve been at play as well.

Thanks in advance.

DHEA is one instance of treating a number on a lab test and telling guys that they need to supplement it...if you're not tolerating it well just drop it. I've not heard a direct correlation between the two.

Well, I do agree, but I wanted to continue an experiment in my ketone testing. The one time I was on it and using a ketogenic diet, my ketones tested 3.1 mmol. Otherwise my ketone readings are .4 mmol! Could've been a fluke that one time, but that's why I'm curious to try it again.

I've never seen any relationship between DHEA and HCT, I supplement with DHEA just to keep my levels in a good range.

Gotcha. I'll start supplementing it again and see what happens.
