7-10mg is low end of replacement dose for women, which is not the same as attempting to get a physiological relevant increase in T to get the effects discussed in this thread. He was also usually using TRT with the women, and thus, no need for higher doses of DHEA to accompish higher T levels. Starting at 10mg is fine, but to repeat again, dosing, like all hormones, best achived via blood work. Just because it's OTC, does not change that.
