Ideal doses for both DHEA and Pregnenolone?

[Spunkey71]

I am considering supplementing both DHEA and Pregnenolone, but am curious from others that are currently supplementing with DHEA and Pregnenolone, what doses are you taking?

 

[Megatron28]

I take 50mg and 100mg daily of each respectively. Honestly, I don't feel any different when I take it. But I keep taking it nonetheless.

I had asked the same question a while back and these doses are what I was advised to take

Thanks Megatron, I am like you in this respect, I feel it is better to be safe rather than sorry.

It is recommended to take DHEA and PREG to backfill the pathways on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) but you should test your DHEA-S levels before supplementing as too much DHEA can cause issues, especially when talking about estrogen.
If you're using a micronized slow releasing DHEA and PREG, aka good quality 50mgs of each is a good starting dose. Bloods should be the guideline in your dose adjustments. Just know in most, they will bring up your estrogen. Brought up my bud 8 points on the sensitive panel ~20 points on the regular estradiol test. Brought mine up as well. I've only been taking them for about 2 weeks but I definitely started experiencing high estrogen symtpoms. My E climbed about 20 points on the regular panel within a week, but my DHEA levels were very low.

That's my dosing too. I am going to give Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) a "shot" (pun intended ) in the near future to see if there's a difference though. Todd talked me into it; just going to give my doc one last attempt to see if he'll let me get it from the pharmacy first.

I most likely got the dosing recommendation from you.

My doc swears by the stuff but I don't feel any different either lol

you wont feel any different unless your levels are deficient before supplementing, better safe then sorry. Although dhea tends to raise estrogen so you could feel worse initially if you don't control E

Spunkey, your new avi woefully reminds me that the sight pins on a bow don't work so well at night. DAMN, that's one hell of a buck!
