I never believed you guys either, until a couple days ago. But I've been using sublingual DHEA at 10mg per day for a couple weeks. To be fair, the only other difference is adding zinc at 30-40mg per day which is supposed to be a mild AI. Either way, my sensitive e2 is now at 11. I'm dropping both. The worst part for me when I crash e2 is the chest flutters and BP spikes, if it was just achy joints and no wood, it wouldn't be that bad, but this gets scary (and the added anxiety from low e2 makes it even worse!).
