Today we’re talking about DHEA supplements. This is a popular supplement because DHEA can influence your hormones.
Many people believe if you can enhance your hormones, you can look better, perform better, feel better, and more. That’s true because healthy living can help optimize your hormones, which has beneficial downstream effects.
You can also affect your hormonal profile through medications, synthetic hormones, and supplements, but most of the stuff that actually works is only available through a prescription.
As far as supplements go, most “testosterone boosters” are junk. However, DHEA can raise your testosterone in certain conditions, which is what I’m going to talk about in this podcast.

I was an avid weight lifter in my 20s back in the 1990s. I came across some dhea research regarding weight loss, and decided to give it a try. The dosages in the study were very high. 1-3 grams. I went on 1 gram. It transformed my body in a month. The fat melted off. I was unable to duplicate it several years later. my original source no longer sold in low quantities for individual use, so i had to go with common found stuff found at stores - so i figured i was no longer getting what i was paying for.

@markmedley6849 3 года назад

I had almost zero sex drive and Tribulus, Long-jack, and Macca all fixed the problem. I don’t know if they have any affect on my testosterone. I tried DHEA in my 30’s and it caused pretty sever testicular pain and was told my the doctor to stop taking it. I may give it a try now that I’m older and see what happens. My urologist said that if I go on the shots it’s likely I we need them for the rest of my life so I agree waiting as long as possible is ideal.

I was on TRT and had to come off because I developed 'thick blood' so bad. I was never warned about the potential complications and when I began experiencing symptoms of polycythemia (dizziness, high blood pressure, difficulty breathing) I had no idea what was going on and it was kind of terrifying. So I'm still searching for ways to get my testosterone back up.

@AnubisDogman 2 года назад

Look up HCG and Clomid. It's the best way to increase your body's natural testosterone levels. It's what bodybuilders take when they come off steroids.

@exploringrvdude7817 2 года назад

@@AnubisDogman Thanks. I've tried both actually. HCG really messed me up, so I can't try that again. I briefly tried Clomid, but had to stop it because of other side effects. But I may give it a try again.

@Jdac333 Год назад

You could take a low dose. When I was on, I was a hyper responder to test too. 200mg a week prescribed is often way too high for a lot of people

You mention it being difffrrent than 7-keto DHEA?, May you elaborate on its fat loss marketing touted? Safe as a non stim for women asking🙏🏽

@MikeMatthewsFitness 3 года назад

Hey Maya, DHEA could help you lose fat if you're 60+ but it's not really a fat loss supplement in general. Yes, 7-keto DHEA is a different supplement altogether, and although research is promising, it's too early to recommend. Check this out: legionathletics.com/dhea-supplement/

I'm on 50mg DHEA per day and mood is perfect, losing fat on ma y areas and all in all for now it's great. It's called to be a hormone balancer. My supply is for 120 days so will see after I finish the bottle I might stop and see how I feel. Little pause and then can continue again.

There are studies showing that DHEA can be helpful to women on hormonal birth control which crushes testosterone levels by 30-60%. I’m 23 and on hormonal birth control, would it be okay for me to take 100mg do you think?

@bellakim9404 2 года назад

100 mgs is too high. Before menopause dhea tends to convert into estrogen. To optimize testosterone levels, take in more good cholesterol into your diet. Cholesterol converts into testosterone naturally. Edit: if you want to try dhea to bring your dhea levels up, start with 2.5 mgs micronized. I would ask your physician to blood work on dhea level first. Please be careful when supplementing with your body.

As with any natural supplement, some people will respond and others won't. The weight of the evidence is it can help middle-aged people improve their hormone profile.
