DHEA - Need your Input guys

[Nitszo]

I did ask this on another section, but it didnt get any answears.. so ill ask it again in another way.

I'm getting 5mg Tabs of Pharmacy Grade DHEA and im planning on taking it.
I have been told if you have low test (which i do) it will convert into Testosterone more then Estrogen because it automatically picks up on what you need.

I plan on taking only 5mg a day for week on week off.
( The reason for such a LOW dosage, is because thats the tablets im getting ), will probably move upto 20-100mg later.

What are the pros & cons to this substance?
I really would like ALL of your input, because a lot of threads people say its good, and lot they say its useless.

i seriouslly doubt that you will get ANY noticeable difference . they sell this stuff in health food stores lol.

 

[BBE]

yah bro, LOL. You can go to wal mart and pick up some 25mg caps if you want, it's by the vitamin D in the aisle...since it goes alphabetically.

Orally, DHEA is not very effective at all. Topical on the other hand, is a different story.

You should check out the new RS transaderm if you are looking for a DHEA solution.

 

[DADAWG]

part if the problem is that the body can only convert so much dhea .

 

[Nitszo]

DHEA is available on the Shelf in US, Its a Controlled Substance here.
Yeah i have been told its pretty useless, but im going to take it anyway, hopefully i get a higher dosage or another product of some sort.
I want HGH but they only give around 1IU legally here *down under*, which is not enough.
Id have to save up 24kits of 100IU, and each one lasts for 100days, it would take me years.. They probably wouldn't give 200IU kits, and 1IU.. 200days.
Messed up

Nitzio, 2 months ago, and after bouts of insomnia and work stress, I was found on low test, my Doc. put me on DHEA for 2 months, this, along with my diet w/3J and my return to exercise, helped me to feel normal again, because the DHEA it is a hormonal regulator, just going to take you to that, a normal level for your age, so it may be useless if your purposes are high performance. The next week I'll re-do analysis of Test, currentley I notice much improvement.

You could get tested for dhea deficiency. I supplement 100mg a day of dhea. It's probably not doing much but I'm doing this because of a prolonged cycle that's coming to an end. I think it's good for those on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or even better pregnenolone.

Google " pregnenolone steal". In your case I don't see it doing much especially at 5 mg. Diet will control hormones more then dhea will. When carb cycling you are effecting hormone levels.

Don't expect much of anything from it if anything. Again I thunk it's good to supplement on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) but wont make a huge difference. Just buy from walmart in 25 or 50mg pills or try transdermal or sublingual.

Thanks for EVERYONES Feedback, Giving reps to all.
And no thanks bullseye, i think i got enough information.. Thank you tho mate!
Well i do have low test, so i hope it helps me put me into the normal ranges.. but 5mg probably wont help much, but i guess i can only try.. and then move upto a higher dosage.

How old are you. How do you know test is low. What's your estro like. I'm telling you it will not raise your test levels but if you have some blood work I'm sure we could help.

I get blood tests every 3months, and i have around 176 Free Test. *7*
Not good at all.
I did a cycle of EQ and Primo & went and got it checked again it was 500, best gains i ever had.. which i need to get back to where i was.
Only way i can increase muscle is if i got higher test levels, its almost impossible with low test.. just completely fucked

 

[UserAt204]

Well you shouldn't cycle EQ or primo without test because the stop natural test production. Did you do a pct after that? Every cycle should include test.

Well you shouldn't cycle EQ or primo without test because the stop natural test production. Did you do a post cycle therapy (pct) after that? Every cycle should include test.

Sorry for late reply, I get my blood checked every 3months (for Thyroid and Hormone Levels)
My first blood test Before cycle was 176, *7* and i was not putting up with it, so i ran a cycle of EQ/PRIMO/WINSTROL at the time i was a newb.....
but, i did gain alot.. leaned out and now bigger with Less bodyfat.

but unfortunately, most the gains left because i cant keep them with 170 free test..

On cycle of EQ/PRIMO/WINNY i was at 500 Free test & androgen 200.9, i need to get back to that.. it was good. Trying to get TRT
Seeing a endocrinologisst soon.

I find that hard to believe because EQ, winny,primo do not increase your test levels while using them it will stop test production so if you got bloodwork on that cycle your free test would be zero not 500 or whatever amount. Those don't increase test.


You lost all your gains because YOU shut down your natural test with that cycle and likey need a post cycle to get it started again. I'm not doubting you made gains but those drugs stop your body from making test so if you really had those drugs it would not increase your test on your blood work.

Well your wrong mate, because my test was through the roof.
I think primo stimulates your HPTA to produce testosterone, but when you come off it shuts down.
My nuts didnt shrink on cycle.. just went back to normal state.
Not Zero.
I have done Dianabol and my test was 250 the next morning.
go figure that out before you comment again.

This was supposed to be about DHEA, and you try and turn it around and make me look stupid.
Just stop, because you dont know.
You put anything in your blood that increase hormones and it will show up on a bloodtest.
Go on cycle, and get your blood checked. My FAI was 200.9.

Please dont comment again, because you dont know.
