Has anybody used this hormone? Does it raise testosterone?
Lots of good info here, including how it works for men (which isn’t well):
After one month of using DHEA at a dose of 25mg per day my blood exams are the following:
FSH: 7.18 mlU/mL (ref. range: 1.50 - 12.40)
LH: 6.21 mlU/mL (ref. range: 1.70 - 8.60)
Total testosterone: 391.7 ng/dL (ref. range: 240 - 870)
SHBG: 31.6 nmol/L (ref. range: 13.5 - 71.4)
Estradiol: 9.31 pg/mL (ref. range: 11.30 - 43.20) - so my estradiol was below reference range!!!
DHEA-S: 483.5 μg/dL (ref. range: 88.9 - 427) - so I was above reference range as it was expected
PROGESTERONE: 0.31 ng/mL (ref. range: 0.05 - 0.15) - this is an hormone that I’ ve measured for first time in my life and the result was above the reference range. I don’t know what does it mean, so if anyone has an idea for this hormone, I would like to hear his opinion.
So, dhea supplementation has no impact on my testosterone or estradiol levels. On the other hand, while I was taking dhea, I noticed more frequent and stronger erections!!!
Any idea on the reason for elevated progesterone and low estradiol?
