DHEA Yay or Nay ?

[solarclimax]

I have been taking DHEA 25mg along with 1mg melatonin each day for 3 weeks, is this good Yay or Nay ?
My daily routine changed quite a bit along the same time, i got a new job doing hard labour. I have noticed i am ever so slightly more toned and my skin feels a little smoother although this could just be due to the fact that i'm eating nothing but good food again and the fact that i started a physically demanding new job.
Bottom line, is this DHEA good for me ?

The evidence of DHEA actually being of benefit are incredibly varied. There are lots of claims that DHEA isn't well absorbed via ingestion, and even more claims that DHEA tends to be far more estrogenic than androgenic with males apart from the really old guys that already have low androgen output. Some people don't observe any effects at ridiculous doses like 1g daily. There are quite a few science journal publications on this you could search for. I recall one in particular that was a really good review article that basically said even with an AI, DHEA doesn't do anything to improve muscle mass or strength. Again, there are lots of science publications to read in this regard, but overall I'd say DHEA fails to deliver any real benefits.

If your using TESTOSTERONE I think DHEA is a good addition,,but if your natural..I doubt I would use it

IME/IMO the older you are the more benefit you will experience. Lower doses are better cause it can shut you down. It does help with muscle tone, growth and strength/stamina in a modest manner. Keeping doses low and cycling it helps keep ED and nipple sensitivity at bay. This was the first prohormone available and a lot of guys blew up on it while increasing calories.

I'm 26 and all natural.

Hmm might cycle it 2 weeks out of each month just until all 60 caps have been taken ?
