[QUOTE="JPB, post: 130827, member: 2659"] DHEA per se is probably not an active hormone, but rather a prohormone that is converted into active androgens and oestrogens in target tissues by intracrine mechanisms. The influence of the dose–response relationships of DHEA substitution on this intracrine regulation of hormone production is not known, although DHEAS, androstenedione and testosterone concentrations increase to low normal values in females receiving a daily dose of 50mg DHEA. In addition, commercially available DHEA preparations are notoriously contaminated with other hormones or substances, which in part explains why DHEA is formally not considered to be a drug.
