Good when you are older, pointless if you are young. Kind of reminds me of something I read in a TCM book about Ginseng - it advised saving Ginseng for your old age, when it will benefit you the most.
Dhea works from personal experience, it's not like taking anabolic steroids, it's more like giving your body the material it needs to recover if you are low in hormones or overtraining or are older. It works in young people that over train too, but if you are young and healthy and your natural hormones are already high, you may not gett anything from dhea.
So hopefully this helps someone I had low dhea and im currently 36 and although when he says it's not gonna help necessarily when your not old I assume he means if your healthy and most are not especially if you have o going stress and use alchohol and or drugs that make the problems worse lack of dhea can be very dangerous Including bone loss and .any other factors and at age thirty-five I had a full hip replacement due to this

My DHEA levels are way too high. Caused insanely high libido, acne, and intense anxiety and depression. Idk anyone who would mess around with their hormones is playing with fire, it can have some serious effects on you. I'm going to the Dr. to try and lower mine.
That’s probably caused by excess conversion into testosterone. Might be related to pcos or some other underlying issue. Hopefully the Dr will take care of it!
I started taking DHEA in about my mid 50's. It seemed to give me energy.. It made me feel more ambitious. I think I heard about it in my research on adrenal fatigue which I have.
56 years old, 6'1", 190lbs, exercise regularly but still had low T (287). Through my health care provider, I was prescribed Testosterone Cypionate with DHEA in the medication? Do they normally add it to the prescription? And why?
My DHEA level is at 1577 and Estradiol is 9.4. So both very high. My Free testosterone is 180... any recommendations? I'm also at the end of my RAD140 cycle also using Cardarine.
pregnenolone helps with anxienty. DHEA also helped in the past, will run it again. Its not always about muscle. These are also "neurosteroids" so you will notice mental benefits
Guys, please remember to have your wife try DHEA and pregnenolone as soon as she starts perimenopause. A lot of women get uncontrollable rage. I take 10mg pregnenolone on waking to start the day good, 10mg in the afternoon to prevent spiraling as I get tired, 10mg at bedtime so I can sleep better. Bio identical creams were not strong enough for me. Pregnenolone is cheap and over the counter. The pain of harming your loved ones is lifelong even after you stabilize with hormone help.
You're talking about DHEA but not 4-DHEA which has been shown to have up to a 52% gain in men's testosterone levels, as well as having the benefit of not being able to interact with estrogen receptors, despite it still being able to convert to estrogen. Pretty much addresses every single negative you brought up, I'd like to see your thoughts on specifically 4-DHEA
why is dhea banned if it doesn't really help out if your levels fine, why ban somehting that doesn't give a benefit ove rothers? If a guy has low levels of he takes dhea it's not going to give him a edge over the guy with normal dhea right? trying to understand why it's banned if don't do nothing unless your old.
I am 42 , gym for last 20yrs, mediocre muscles, no fat, I want to give it a try , however I am worried about DHT and Estrogen but I am also taking sulforaphane that known to metabolite estrogen and DHT , also can lower testosterone, If I try DHEA , I think I can balance both things easily and will get only good effects , whats your opinion ? or I have to use DIM and Saw palmetto along with ? my purpose is to boost slight T but primarily for more focused and insulin sensitivity

what if you are a woman over 60 who has no energy and no desire for sex? women need testosterone as well as men i was told, but don't know how to get it. got my hormone levels tested 5 years ago, and doctor said my hormones were normal for someone my age. i do not want to have average hormones for my age. i want to have optimum levels. would DHEA help me with both problems?
My DHEA is borderline low, Prolactin sky high, oestradiol low, free test calc. low…. Would DHEA block my pituitary from overproducing prolactin and help?
I think the soundest advice is to see a hormone specialists before shooting in the dark with anything. You would not want to take DHEA and make estrogen instead of testosterone. thanks for posting this interview. c];-)
Excellent explanation and discussion. Yes completely correct. May help for older individuals. More beneficial for women than men in the clinical studies.
Of course, I wouldn't recommend an aromatase inhibitor unless a blood test has confirmed that estradiol is out of balance. Low estrogen has many bad outcomes for men also.
I am 20 year old girl with Low Dhea I don’t know what to do , how do I help myself naturally or what?, I’m exhausted, low in libido, extremely stressed and fatigued every day no energy, I need help
If you can't get dhea in your country, then eat RAW egg yolks, 1-3/day. Egg yolks are high in cholesterol, and your body turns cholesterol into hormones, dhea and a bunch of others.
No. Those are prohormones. DHEA is somewhat natural. Prohormones are chemically "tweaked" testosterone precursors that are converted into 1Testosterone in the body. Prohormones are MUCH MORE effective. 30 years experience, here.
Dhea is a very weak androgen folks. It's most important with its interaction in its relationship to cortisol and the immune system. It also increases sebum production, so side effects can be greasy, acne prone skin. Just because your serum level is low, doesn't mean tissue throughout the body is low. If one wants to dry it and is worried about estrogen conversion, keep does low (5-10mg) 1-3x daily and monitor the blood levels, skin, energy etc. Zinc is a natural AI and if low. One should consider using assuming copper is also in the diet etc.
Exactly last time I took it was about 15 years ago I was getting Creatine and said let me get DHEA again two days later I woke up with a huge pimple on my top lip like a teenager never took it again lol!
drink water only, stop watching porn, and stop masturbating. i guarantee it will come back to you. if you're overweight start getting the fat down. intermittent fasting is really good if you're up for it. lack of blood flow is also one of the main reason for ed. you need to incorporate high intensity exercise. watermelon, beets, grape seed extract are really good for erections. i would also recommend a supplement from nutra champs called nitric charge. i use it for bedtime activity and it gets me rock hard. but of course eliminate the porn and don't masturbate, i can't stress how important that is. after 7 days your brain should reset and the porn induced ed will be gone or nearly gone
I have a full head of hair and a slightly enlarged prostate. I'm also 47 years old. It seems like I should stay away from this supplement, I am so disappointed.
YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING TO BLOCK IT...I TAKE 100 MG'S OF DHEA PER DAY, BEEN DOING IT FOR LIKE 3 YEARS NOW, I'M 47 YEARS OLD, STILL HAVE BICEPS LIKE MY THUMBNAIL, I HAVE VERY GOOD GENETICS SO NOT SURE DHEA IS DOING ANYTHING, I USE IT FOR ANTI-AGING, I LOOK 33 YRS OLD
@@milanhavelaar3907bro eat riasin, walnut, dates, almonds, avocado. Raisin is the best for boron etc. since you get benefit from the food mineral content
The estrogen blockers block all pathways of estrogen it can so it would crash ur estrogen below reference range. DHEA should convert to testosterone a great portion of the time
@@Jerry-eb8vf Aromatase inhibitors and antigonadotropins reduce the production of estrogen, while the term "antiestrogen" is often reserved for agents reducing the response to estrogen.
I took dhea and it worked great for me. I broke out a little bit but gained 43 pounds of muscle in 4 months. I stopped taking it because i was taking too high a dose and started getting heart palpitations. I was also horny and ready to go at all times.
@CookieMonster_ Yes sure. I don't know what's funny about that. It worked amazing. At the same time though i trained daily and didn't stop working out till i would throw up. Yes 43 pds in a little over 2 months with dhea.
43 pound in 2 months you mean 4 pound cause if any one get that will never stop taking it it like God send if it was that high you would take it every 3 days so it work it self out but no way 43 pound 😂😂😂😂
@@glennwong9356 I'm 43 now. It took it years ago when they had EAS creatine. I took that along with the DEHEA and it was steroid level gains in pump, energy, and recovery. No joke man..
Recent studies show a 45 percent increase in testosterone even the risk of over stepping the recognized high when men 25 to 35 supplement with dhea alone
Just put it in the most basic terminology just say can you gain muscle from it will it make you gain weight to gain that muscle will your blood be flowing better can you actually gain muscle from using this when it starts going way too far off and all sorts of names start getting used you lose people just stay basic straightforward and avoid extra minutes of things people will not or do not care to understand
I dont understand any of this stuff and get no help from my doctor.. I had a extremely high sex drive and no problems except feeling tired. Went to my annual physical and labs and my testosterone was low along with numerous vitamin deficiencies. She put me on testosterone and dhea. After about 1 month the only difference I had was weight gain " fat " and sore nipples, lack of sex drive. Couldn't even get erect. After 2 and a half months I had no desire for sex, nipples felt more sore and I was still gaining weight. I stopped taking both.. I gained over 50 lbs! Now 3 months later I'm still dealing with sore nipples and they look like women tits. I can't lose weight and my sex drive has come back but not fully. When will this crap be out of my system? I want to sue my doctor so bad for giving me womens breast. They never told me this was a side effect. I'm very angry with this.
Hey, hope you’re doing well. It’s been two months since your comment so I don’t know where you are at at this point. Try fasting for 36hrs once a week, then limit your time of eating to 10-12hrs/day. You’ll lose weight easy with this regimen, but it may take some willpower on your part. Don’t expect some little pill or supplement to fix everything. A good hobby can help during fasting periods, and hydration helps with hunger cravings… doctors don’t recommend fasting because that’s how they lose patients… and anyone can lose weight by eating less. Minerals are important when it comes to the mechanisms of hormone regulation. As a diabetic I need more magnesium and potassium than the average person, but also benefit greatly from zinc and selenium. I get most of that through diet, but still take a multimineral. Eating healthy real food with proper hydration and exercising regularly are the basic remedies, only take supplements if needed. You’ll see great results in a few months.. It’s shown that fasting increases both testosterone and HGH, and allows your body to recover/heal.. it helps my sinus and inflammation issues, where my sense of smell and clarity of thought greatly improve as well..
@@coryanderson5210 thanks for the info and the motivation. Right now I'm still experiencing sore nipples and weight gain. I've never been this big. Gained a total of 100 lbs now.

So hopefully this helps someone I had low dhea and im currently 36 and although when he says it's not gonna help necessarily when your not old I assume he means if your healthy and most are not especially if you have o going stress and use alchohol and or drugs that make the problems worse lack of dhea can be very dangerous Including bone loss and .any other factors and at age thirty-five I had a full hip replacement due to this

My DHEA levels are way too high. Caused insanely high libido, acne, and intense anxiety and depression. Idk anyone who would mess around with their hormones is playing with fire, it can have some serious effects on you. I'm going to the Dr. to try and lower mine.
That’s probably caused by excess conversion into testosterone. Might be related to pcos or some other underlying issue. Hopefully the Dr will take care of it!
That's just your situation..many of us are low in dhea
I might be able to help you with your high libido

Maybe that was my situation when I was younger. I had a very high sex drive. I was always wanting to gawk non stop at pretty sexy women.
28 here. I’m in the camp where there was no difference whatsoever. Will dodge until I’m older
If you're young ( under 35 ) DHEA will work best with a resistance training program.
I started taking DHEA in about my mid 50's. It seemed to give me energy.. It made me feel more ambitious. I think I heard about it in my research on adrenal fatigue which I have.
56 years old, 6'1", 190lbs, exercise regularly but still had low T (287). Through my health care provider, I was prescribed Testosterone Cypionate with DHEA in the medication? Do they normally add it to the prescription? And why?
My guess would be because you have low levels of both hormones.
My DHEA level is at 1577 and Estradiol is 9.4. So both very high. My Free testosterone is 180... any recommendations? I'm also at the end of my RAD140 cycle also using Cardarine.
Did Rad 140 work? Everything i've found on it is that everyone says its hit n miss

Does Dhea supplement suppress your natural production of Dhea ?
from what I gathered from another video, DHEA is unique in that it doesn't have receptors, so it is not suppressed by supplementation.
Helped me put on 20 lbs of muscle 💪
How much did you take and how long did it take?
That’s what I need lol
Would taking dhea with clomid be beneficial? My doctor recommended it (on clomid to raise test)
AI's are advised not to be to be taken!
I'm on 200 MG a day and feel great now 35
But guys also need progesterone some guys are low in progesterone so dhea might also help it.
Pregnenolone is the precursor for progesterone.
pregnenolone helps with anxienty. DHEA also helped in the past, will run it again. Its not always about muscle. These are also "neurosteroids" so you will notice mental benefits
Guys, please remember to have your wife try DHEA and pregnenolone as soon as she starts perimenopause. A lot of women get uncontrollable rage. I take 10mg pregnenolone on waking to start the day good, 10mg in the afternoon to prevent spiraling as I get tired, 10mg at bedtime so I can sleep better. Bio identical creams were not strong enough for me. Pregnenolone is cheap and over the counter. The pain of harming your loved ones is lifelong even after you stabilize with hormone help.
You're talking about DHEA but not 4-DHEA which has been shown to have up to a 52% gain in men's testosterone levels, as well as having the benefit of not being able to interact with estrogen receptors, despite it still being able to convert to estrogen. Pretty much addresses every single negative you brought up, I'd like to see your thoughts on specifically 4-DHEA
Should 4dhea be cycled and pct afterwards?
I never seen or heard 4-dhea where do you even buy it
@@mmm4638vintage muscle supplements. They have one called Rad-Mass
why is dhea banned if it doesn't really help out if your levels fine, why ban somehting that doesn't give a benefit ove rothers? If a guy has low levels of he takes dhea it's not going to give him a edge over the guy with normal dhea right? trying to understand why it's banned if don't do nothing unless your old.
I'm sorry, I took 1-AD back around 2000 and it worked like a charm, evet workout those plates were going higher, but so was my temper
I took it with chrysin years ago,it worked better that way. Though since then I have stopped cause it raises my psa levels
There is no such thing as testosterone. That's a myth
I am 42 , gym for last 20yrs, mediocre muscles, no fat, I want to give it a try , however I am worried about DHT and Estrogen but I am also taking sulforaphane that known to metabolite estrogen and DHT , also can lower testosterone, If I try DHEA , I think I can balance both things easily and will get only good effects , whats your opinion ? or I have to use DIM and Saw palmetto along with ? my purpose is to boost slight T but primarily for more focused and insulin sensitivity

Found dhea increased estrogen, lowered lh and fsh, and shrinked the nuts. What should you do?😮
I need asap something for my very low estrogen. I did lab test 3 times and always my estrogen is under range. Range is 44 to 80. Now I know why I am feeling weak, tired, anxiety, cracking joints and diziness. Will dhea help me to raise estrogen? Other hormones are on point. I am 36

And where can I buy DHEA? I´m loving in Germany and the DHEA seem to be not the "real" one.
what if you are a woman over 60 who has no energy and no desire for sex? women need testosterone as well as men i was told, but don't know how to get it. got my hormone levels tested 5 years ago, and doctor said my hormones were normal for someone my age. i do not want to have average hormones for my age. i want to have optimum levels. would DHEA help me with both problems?
It wouldn’t hurt to try, also average both for age and people may not be what is best fir you. Try it and be mindful of any side effects
My DHEA is borderline low, Prolactin sky high, oestradiol low, free test calc. low…. Would DHEA block my pituitary from overproducing prolactin and help?
I think the soundest advice is to see a hormone specialists before shooting in the dark with anything. You would not want to take DHEA and make estrogen instead of testosterone. thanks for posting this interview. c];-)
This good news in some ways that excess testosterone isn't created. A healthy balance is what I desire not bulking.
1-AD was great! It did do a lot for me! but got angry easy too and then they yank it

Better to supplement boron which will naturally stimulate dhea production
Hi I am 52 years old, I want to take dhea 50 mg but I am confused how long time I will use it !
Pls reply, I am waiting
pregnenolone + dhea is a pretty awesome combination
How much of each for your cycle?
Would suplementing with DHEA or Pregnenolone Shut down the natural production if i take lets say 25mg DHEA and 10 Pregnenolone
Androstenediol was the bomb used to buy from gnc back in the day and it got me shredded in the gym. Where can I get it now?
Banned and mostly not produced anymore. Loved 1-AD!
How do you know it was that substance, though? If you were already working out, wouldn't you build muscle anyway?
Excellent explanation and discussion. Yes completely correct. May help for older individuals. More beneficial for women than men in the clinical studies.
What supplements blocks the process that turns extra testosterone levels into estrogen?
Aromatase inhibitors. There are some natural ones like apigenin and chrysin but bioavailability is questionable.
Of course, I wouldn't recommend an aromatase inhibitor unless a blood test has confirmed that estradiol is out of balance. Low estrogen has many bad outcomes for men also.
DIM too helps with estrogen
Arimidex/Anastrozole, Clomid, etc. However, if you have low estrogen your sex life will be shit and your bones will be fragile etc
dim and boron
50, good sized dude who can put on muscle pretty good. Just got prescribed test cipionate (low dosage). Should o incorporate DHEA as well?
Ask the doctor
alright, and what if i take dhea and an aromatase inhibitor?
I am 20 year old girl with Low Dhea I don’t know what to do , how do I help myself naturally or what?, I’m exhausted, low in libido, extremely stressed and fatigued every day no energy, I need help
Talk to your doctor, but a low dose of dhea 5-25mg/day may be beneficial for you.
If you can't get dhea in your country, then eat RAW egg yolks, 1-3/day. Egg yolks are high in cholesterol, and your body turns cholesterol into hormones, dhea and a bunch of others.
Is there a supplement that stops DHEA producing oestrogen
@@apollo6170 Thanks Apollo, I will try that

Did you perform your experiments any good news?
M1D 1 androstenlone 4 androstenlone are these DHEA?
No. Those are prohormones. DHEA is somewhat natural. Prohormones are chemically "tweaked" testosterone precursors that are converted into 1Testosterone in the body. Prohormones are MUCH MORE effective. 30 years experience, here.
Dhea is a very weak androgen folks. It's most important with its interaction in its relationship to cortisol and the immune system. It also increases sebum production, so side effects can be greasy, acne prone skin. Just because your serum level is low, doesn't mean tissue throughout the body is low. If one wants to dry it and is worried about estrogen conversion, keep does low (5-10mg) 1-3x daily and monitor the blood levels, skin, energy etc. Zinc is a natural AI and if low. One should consider using assuming copper is also in the diet etc.
Exactly last time I took it was about 15 years ago I was getting Creatine and said let me get DHEA again two days later I woke up with a huge pimple on my top lip like a teenager never took it again lol!
@@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551 Yes, very common and I have tried oral, transdermal and troche with the same results (25mg or more).

DHEA has made me stronger but has done nothing for my ed
drink water only, stop watching porn, and stop masturbating. i guarantee it will come back to you. if you're overweight start getting the fat down. intermittent fasting is really good if you're up for it. lack of blood flow is also one of the main reason for ed. you need to incorporate high intensity exercise. watermelon, beets, grape seed extract are really good for erections. i would also recommend a supplement from nutra champs called nitric charge. i use it for bedtime activity and it gets me rock hard. but of course eliminate the porn and don't masturbate, i can't stress how important that is. after 7 days your brain should reset and the porn induced ed will be gone or nearly gone

The estrogen blockers block all pathways of estrogen it can so it would crash ur estrogen below reference range. DHEA should convert to testosterone a great portion of the time

Just put it in the most basic terminology just say can you gain muscle from it will it make you gain weight to gain that muscle will your blood be flowing better can you actually gain muscle from using this when it starts going way too far off and all sorts of names start getting used you lose people just stay basic straightforward and avoid extra minutes of things people will not or do not care to understand

I dont understand any of this stuff and get no help from my doctor.. I had a extremely high sex drive and no problems except feeling tired. Went to my annual physical and labs and my testosterone was low along with numerous vitamin deficiencies. She put me on testosterone and dhea. After about 1 month the only difference I had was weight gain " fat " and sore nipples, lack of sex drive. Couldn't even get erect. After 2 and a half months I had no desire for sex, nipples felt more sore and I was still gaining weight. I stopped taking both.. I gained over 50 lbs! Now 3 months later I'm still dealing with sore nipples and they look like women tits. I can't lose weight and my sex drive has come back but not fully. When will this crap be out of my system? I want to sue my doctor so bad for giving me womens breast. They never told me this was a side effect. I'm very angry with this.
Hey, hope you’re doing well. It’s been two months since your comment so I don’t know where you are at at this point.
Try fasting for 36hrs once a week, then limit your time of eating to 10-12hrs/day. You’ll lose weight easy with this regimen, but it may take some willpower on your part. Don’t expect some little pill or supplement to fix everything. A good hobby can help during fasting periods, and hydration helps with hunger cravings… doctors don’t recommend fasting because that’s how they lose patients… and anyone can lose weight by eating less. Minerals are important when it comes to the mechanisms of hormone regulation. As a diabetic I need more magnesium and potassium than the average person, but also benefit greatly from zinc and selenium. I get most of that through diet, but still take a multimineral.
Eating healthy real food with proper hydration and exercising regularly are the basic remedies, only take supplements if needed.
You’ll see great results in a few months..
It’s shown that fasting increases both testosterone and HGH, and allows your body to recover/heal.. it helps my sinus and inflammation issues, where my sense of smell and clarity of thought greatly improve as well..
@@coryanderson5210 thanks for the info and the motivation. Right now I'm still experiencing sore nipples and weight gain. I've never been this big. Gained a total of 100 lbs now.
