[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 66568, member: 696"] My wife takes 25mg of micronized DHEA in the PM, same as me, and we both have seen noticeable improvement with sleep. The PM dosage really helps with the counter effect to cortisol and keeping the circadian rhythm balanced, which tends to be in play with imbalances & deficiencies, e.g., upstream pregnenolone demand and deficiency as noted by Gene. She's already on HRT, with 8mg to 10mg/wk of cypionate, so there is no unusual increase (or decrease) in her total serum results; 70ng/dl to 90ng/dl +/- seems to be the zone with her labs, just depending sometimes on when labs were drawn in relation to injection (SubQ, 31g x 5/16 if anyone was ever curious). 81ng/dl total test serum last fall 274mcg/dl DHEA-S last fall (kaiser range 44 - 331) Baseline from 2010 ... Test serum = 13ng/dl (6 -82ng/dl), DHEA-s = 70.6 (60.9 to 337.0) ... Labcorp. Estradiol went up from the low 90's PG/ML to 154pg/ml on her last labs (luteal phase), but that can deviate, we don't know if it was fully or partially attributed to the micro DHEA. Just to note, at one point several years ago she was on Keto7 DHEA, and E1, E2 & E3 labs are relatively the same. A few years back on E2, one (1) luteal phase assay was drawn at 226pg/m (range 43.8 -211.0), and one (1) ovulation phase was drawn at 283pg/dl (range 85.8- 498.0) and that was on Keto7, which is a metabolite of DHEA that doesn't have the same downstream conversion properties. Note, there were also some testosterone serum increase variations during that time with the increased E2, as changes were being made on her protocol dosage. Plus, there was a point she was on a rhythmic protocol with some form of progesterone & estrogen cream administered daily, which was aimed to improve some infrequent cycle issues. It actually complicated things more during that time. Might be more viable at post-meno? She hasn't crossed that bridge yet. [/QUOTE]
