Obviously most people say it raises testosterone in women, but from what I read, there's contradictory evidence for that. Wouldn't it also raise estrogen? I need to look at what the studies say about supplemental DHEA and estrogen levels, assuming that the studies even bothered to look at estrogen.
Isabelle thought that DHEA could totally prevent hormone down regulation and stalling, but I didn't really understand her reasoning.
Does DHEA really force the body to create more hormones even when those hormones are down regulated, or is it like throwing flour and sugar all over the kitchen floor and expecting cakes to be spontaneously generated? Sometimes supplementing a precursor really does raise the levels of the hormones (or other bodily chemicals) that are downstream from it, but other times it does not. Does anyone know more about this? I really need to get reading.
you can just eat oats every morning? I think no matter what, you may be aromatizing some of your T anyway. DHEA also help makes estrogen so there is no guarantee it will become test. from personal experience, I have experienced High free T in my blood as well as high estrogen due to high dhea levels. The rise in dhea was from herbs and literally taking dhea. So go ahead, you'll see, you just have loads of hormones floating in your blood freely.
I became a mild hirsuite after this!
