Always be careful about how you stop steroid use.
I’ve talked with ex-pro bodybuilders. It seems, assuming you can recover, that it takes about 3 years for your body to recover from TRT supplementation. That is assuming you didn’t damage yourself to becoming unreverable.
Long term steroid use has almost ALWAYS been known to suppress adrenal gland function.
Look up “HPA axis suppression”....for a brief review .this is a well known phenomena for at least 48 years.
Someone made a lot of money doing this redundant study. ....only good thing is that it pretty well educates the dumbesh*t recipe readers who are in the medical fields now.
Another selective population study? Why would we not instead conclude that the original inflammatory conditions were causing the adrenal insufficiency? ...or that a third unstudied factor was causing both?
DHEA is the body’s natural steroid, the mother hormone of all hormones. DHEA is produced by the adrenal glands, and stimulates adrenal health and productivity. We lose DHEA output as we age. DHEA is available as a supplement.
