[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 184129, member: 15043"] If iron is low, I personally wouldn’t go the iron supplement route. It might be effective, but not sure if it’s healthy to ingest the form of iron that’s in supplements. I would just eat a lot of red meat, eat beef liver, or take desiccated beef liver capsules, and try to ingest vitamin C every time u take in anything with iron. The vitamin C will help ur body absorb the iron. In regards to DHEA, it all depends on whether ur low or not. Have u had ur DHEA levels tested? For example, my DHEA levels are naturally always on the higher end of normal, so not sure if supplementing would be beneficial for me. DHEA supposedly has an inverse relationship with cortisol, so too much DHEA I would assume can start to have negative effects. Although, I’ve heard some top HRT doctors recommend trying to get DHEA levels as high as u can without experiencing side effects. Like into the 800 range, so who knows. DHEA-S range is (106-464) for reference. If ur low in DHEA, supplementing would definitely be smart. DHEA has a ton of benefits, and is very important for optimal health.
