Did Dhea increase your estrogen

[jomamma007]

for those of you who have incorporated dhea into your protocols, did you notice an increase in estrogen?

 

[Alpin]

Good Question

 

[ASAP]

Idk but I'm curious if it does or doesn't

 

[newtohrt]

It does not increase mine whatsoever, but mine is always low and I have low SHBG as well, so I am probably not the best example.

 

[MeatHead96]

It did mine, made gyno flare...

I was looking this up for something else and it made me think of you. Did you ever check your Total Testosterone in the method described?


Serum SHBG levels are increased in endogenous and exogenous hyperestrogenemic states, hyperthyroidism, aging, phenytoin treatment, anorexia nervosa, and prolonged stress. SHBG levels are lowered with androgen treatment, obesity, acromegaly, and hypothyroidism. In most instances, measurement of serum total testosterone will detect individuals with androgen deficiency. In conditions with abnormal SHBG levels, the total testosterone measurement (usual laboratory test requested) may be misleading. In these situations, direct measurement of free testosterone by the dialysis method, measurement of bioavailable testosterone, or calculation of the free testosterone by a formula requiring the serum testosterone and SHBG concentrations may be necessary to separate true chemical testosterone deficiency from binding protein problems. Testosterone secretion has a diurnal variation and is highest in the morning in young adult men; this rhythm is blunted or lost with aging.

Nope. But then again, I'm pretty sure my dose of Aromatase inhibitor (AI) keeps me pretty settled in.

When I get my bloods on Monday I will let you know! My trt dr recommended a combo of zinc and dhea so well see if there is a difference between my last bloods.

Yes, high doses will impact estrone mostly. An estradiol assay will not indicate the increase, and generally negligible.

what's considered high dose? Kelkels estradiol sensitive went up 8 points, that's a good amount

That's not from DHEA. He did something else.

Hi Austinite

Hi Austinite

Hey buddy

 

[newtohrt]

dialysis method?

I have not tried that, nor even heard of it before. I have heard of some guys doing a 24-hour urine test to determine total T and also how fast your metabolize it, but this is a new one for me.

My blood work came in today from quest lab and the 50mg twice a day did not raise my levels. I have been taking the dissolving ones not sure if there is a better method

 

[shithead]

Whats everyone's starting dose? 50mg. Have like #6 bottles here from Natrol that I have yet to start.

 

[Austinite]

50 micronized mg's of each DHEA and pregnenolone for me.

 

[TatsForTats]

To my surprise mine actually went down a bit, but honestly not sure if I can thank the DHEA for that but I will anyways!
