The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
it was restoring total test levels to that of Baseline while staying on what is otherwise is like a brutally suppressive compound and give a sense of like what the increase was from what to what was total t on that regimen oh it was like going from your natural 60 down to like 15 back up to 60 okay so 4X bump in total T
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
using DHEA supplementation exogenously how how much 25 a day 50 50 a day okay and a full restoration of total and free test levels while still using your combined Ral contraceptive
using DHEA supplementation exogenously how many how much 25 a day 50 50 a day okay and a full restoration of total and free test levels while still using your combined roll contraceptive
was like going from your natural 60 down to like 15 back up to 60 okay so 4X bump in total T and um this was only in women on an OC yeah yeah
I'm sure at some point we would have ended up talking about not meaningfully impactful for men's testosterone levels because the majority is driven through intraicular testosterone production. But for women because you only have such a amount it's like you know 15 to 70 total a significant chunk of that could be driven through DHEA mediated conversion. And if that is the case and you're low DHEA via an assessment of the biioarker DHEAS typically as a proxy sulfated DHEA, you may highly benefit from like a basic DHEA oral supplement that's like, you know, uh easier to predict what's going to happen.
in general women respond favorably to an adequate DHEA dose when warranted for testosterone conversion. Like I've seen pretty dramatic changes to the degree of women on combined or old contraceptives attenuating entirely the loss in testosterone production via the progesterine and estrogen induced suppression through the DHEA.
