Thanks for the video. I was feeling weak, fatigued, grumpy and lethargic for a long time. I went in and got an extensive blood test to see what might be wrong. There were a few markers that were way off. One of them, DHEA, was low, but considered within the normal range. (There is a range of level considered "normal" for each age group and gender.) About eight months later, I was retested and saw the DHEA levels had fallen further and were considered in the red. (I don't recall what level that was, but it was way below what was considered normal for someone my age, 58.) My doctor suggested 25 mg of a DHEA supplement daily, which was relatively inexpensive and over the counter. Within four or five days, I had noticed a huge improvement in energy, mood and libido. It was like my body was starting to wake up again. I started weight training again and started making some slow gains. My take: it's a great supplement if your body needs it. However, if you already have enough of it in your bloodstream, I don't think it will do much for you. Thanks again for the video.

I have had experience taking DHEA, and I have had thyroid surgery before. Thyroid hormone pills were used to maintain thyroid function after operation. Later, when the thyroid function recovered, he stopped taking thyroid hormone and replaced it with a health drug to promote the secretion of thyroid hormone. Then there is DHEA. I was not aware of other uses of DHEA at the time. The purpose of taking DHEA is to promote the secretion of thyroid hormone and ensure the regular work and rest. During the period of taking it, I have strength training three times a week, which is a powerbuilding plan. What surprised me during that time was that I didn't calculate the calories in my diet. I ate a lot of meat and eggs every day, but my body fat decreased, my muscle latitude significantly increased, and my strength level improved significantly. My bench and square increased by 30 pounds. I'm not sure if this is the effect of DHEA, or if it was due to my regular schedule, sufficient sleep, and sufficient protein supplementation at that time. Now I have stopped taking DHEA according to the doctor's instructions, and my strength level continues to maintain, but my muscle latitude has shrunk a bit. In short, I suspect that DHEA is effective, but it should be about maximizing your muscle hypertrophy potential, rather than surpassing it like steroids.

After the whole cee nineteen I got a gp script and had it made at the compounded pharmacy (didn't want to go through the whole thing with the boarder protection). I could only get 25mg but still. Be aware that different pharmacies/in different states charge dif.$ if you're going this way. I believe their excuse was that it was used as anabolic steroid, but I think (like with many other suppls) it was because it was helpful and harmless (mho). Best 😊
