study on transdermal DHEA

Post by tufluk »

found on another forum and thought id share as i am considering using the recipe. Im not quite sure what to make of it. it states that there was a significant increase in serum Testosterone levels after 14 days. but from what I gather natural dhea and other hormones fell?

Im not qualified in any regard to this (quite the opposite), but from reading through it I cant tell if the results were positive or not.

any help to clear it up for me would me much appreciated. :D

I just read this article (great find!) and it reported nothing that I found disturbing about DHEA. They only performed a statistical analysis on the subjects after five days of transdermal DHEA. However, it's worth noting that in their sample, they did see an increase of testosterone, estrogen, DHEA, DHEA-S. What's striking, if I read it correctly, is that this increase persisted five months after just a few days of the transdermal! Please remind me to review this paper again if I forget. I admittedly read it quite fast.

Hmm....I think this would be very interesting to see what would happen if taking something like A-HD, extra zinc and DIM to shut down the estrogen conversion and flush it out quicker while boosting T levels...

Shows how the body tightly regulates the ratio of T to E...increase T levels and E levels are sure to follow...nules you terminate them...

matter2003, I wrote down something to that same effect in the margins of the article. It looks like an anti-estrogen would be wise with transdermal DHEA supplementation unless someone's blood test indicated too low estrogen. I do not know about an anti-aromatase because I do not know what happens to DHT levels, which as I recall would also be reduced with estrogen by anti-aromatase compounds.
