Because of accelerated ageing I started taking DHEA. DHEA is the natural human steroid.
Wow did I change. DHEA:
Reduced my gout tremendously
Reversed my baldness (grew hair where there was none)
Improved my sex life
Increased my muscle mass, strength and stamina
Made my skin thicker, and vastly improved bruising
Improved food tolerances
Reduced infections
Improved my cognizance
Improved my sleep
I gained too much weight at 50mg and 25mg per day. 12.5mg per day seems to be my Goldilocks zone along with 25mg of zinc. It takes time. These changes have taken me a year.
Is this a prescription?..................
I didn’t have time to research your benefits so I asked chatGPT. Besides what you mentioned are better bone density and anti-aging effects. Risks were hormonal imbalances, cancer, liver damage, CV issues. With a standard dose of 25-50 mg (also per AI) one would think your 12.5 mg dose would be a very slight risk.
Protein, healthy fats, C, and zinc may increase DHEA naturally. I made a note to get my level checked.
