Adding DHEA to TRT

[shavas]

Can anyone tell me if its worth adding DHEA to trt? I just bought some the other day as I've read a little bit about it but having a hard time finding specifics with how well it goes with trt. Currently on test 100mg/week, arimidex and hcg. my current test results has T at 900, E2 28 and prolactin 4.2, TSH 2.1. All these lab results I am happy to keep them where they are, just wondering if DHEA would add any helpful benefits or if there are some downsides to taking it. Thanks in advance

If your on TRT its pretty common to also have low DHEA and should have been checked for by your doc. If your low, its cheap so I would say go ahead and add it. I cant really tell the difference when I use it but when im not on it my labs show low DHEA so I generally use it.

Thanks Zygamail. I started taking 50mg/day the last couple days and I don't if its an effect from the DHEA yet or not but I feel my mood is kinda happier. I read somewhere else that TRT will drive DHEA levels down. How much do you supplement with?

50mg a day here also.

If you're having trouble with fat loss you could also do 7 keto dhea. I personally was using ASN enhanced dhea since the pills go up to 200mg and they have bioperine and glutamine as absorption enhancers. That's the main issues with DHEA is absorption orally

I also forgot that Ortho Molecular sells sublingual DHEA... It was advised by an allergy doctor once.
