GNC DHEA....what do you think?

[football63]

GNC only sells their brand and they are 25mg per capsule. Ive read some articles on the benefits of this prohormone and that they recommend anywhere between 50-100mg twice per day. I think the article was in M & F. Im trying to build muscle and lose bodyfat. Im 6'2, about 260, at about 20%bf. Im not currently on AAS but plan to implement that sometime in the future. I figured Id start with some DHEA. Currently on Creatine, HMB, and I always take Gluco/CHon for my joints.
What are your thoughts on DHEA and the brand from GNC?

What is your age???? That is very important.

DHEA decreases as we age…. Most would say around the age of 40 it declines pretty sharply.
Taking DHEA will raise your test level. If your test levels are still ok that will create an imbalance and your body will try to balance itself out and produce more estrogen…. NOT what you want.

I personally feel if you are going to mess with your hormones then use the real stuff…
Proper estrogen suppression and PCT a must!

Hope that helps,

PS. GNC is a good brand of DHEA

Im 29 yo. Ive been bodybuilding since high school and Ive got pretty good genetics. My last physical in Oct 2004 showed T levels were within normal range. When you mentioned estrogen suppression did you mean when I start juicing or even if Im only taking DHEA? Also, what is PCT?

Nolva, Dex, Clomid, they all have their pros and cons. I like AAG.

PCT= Post cycle therapy

When you artificially raise your test levels then come off, your body may need a kick to get your normal test back in gear.

Seriously, at your age I would not bother with the DHEA.

I am 36, and don’t use it. I do gear up however. A much better option IMO.

I do a couple of cycles a year (just started this year, nearing the end of #2) and my gains have been great.

I am pissed that I spent money on tons of supplements in the past that promise steroid like results but don’t deliver!!

My 2cents bro!

Alright, thx for your input Taoiron. I only bought one bottle of DHEA so I might just finish it up and start putting together my first cycle. Still reading up on it on the other boards.
Anybody else agree, disagree?

As long as you purchased it within the past 30 days you can return the DHEA to GNC if you want..

They have a pretty good return policy, just tell them it made you feel weird.

As far as pulling together your first cycle….

Lots of good bros around here to help you out. Keep it simple first go at it.

I did 500mg Test E (250 Monday 250 Thursday) Per week for 10 weeks

HCG 300-500 mg E5D.

20 MG Nolva ED

Clomid and HCG for PCT

Lift cuz u luv it,

Taoiron: Yeah, thats almost what I was thinking but I was going to add Dbol stacked with Test E to have both an oral and inj... I want to be sure I have everything before I start.... what size needle do you use?

I'm 38 y/o.

I used to use DHEA when I was natural (I was in my twenties). I liked it but I don't think it should be used for long periods of time. I can tell you from experience its not going to fuck you up if you take it when your in your twenties.

I'm currently into a cycle and started taking 25 mg of it mainly for health purposes not just to "add" it to my cycle and it made me feel great. I know that being older I probably have lower levels of it so that's the reason. But it really made me feel more energetic and just incease my overall "sense of well-being". Not in the same way the dianabol did- the d-bol seemed like it increased my confidence- amazingly so- I might post something about this.

Also you noticed that I am only using a single 25mg dose. I feel that this is optimal and if I take more than that for some reason I don't feel it. I would just stack it with other natural supplements to get a better effect. Personally I like tribulus terrestis. It gives me a really noticeable boost to my libido.

Hope this helps!

The GNC part gave it away!

I rotate injection sites so I use different sizes. For delts and bi and quad injections I use a 25 gauge 1” For glutes I use a 23 gauge 1.5 inch. I use slin needles for HCG. Usually in the quad.

My first couple inj. Were a little nerve racking, but I kind of like it now!!!
