People actually take DHEA? Aren't testosterone prohormones extremely unpredictable, with possible aromatization of testosterone into estrogen and conversion of testosterone into DHT as side effects?
- nonameiguess 1y agoI have no idea if there's any way to know how common it is, but it can be recommended as an anti-aging supplement for people over 55 who have specifically tested as being low in DHEA. It's not widely discussed in any kind of fitness space I've ever looked at other than teenage SARMS users who know they need to supplement with what they usually call a "testosterone base" because taking any SARM will tank natural test production. Couple that with widespread aversion to needles, which is why they're using SARMS rather than steroids in the first place, and you might sometimes see people trying to use DHEA, which isn't going to do jack shit but they'll use it anyway. It's also one of those dubious bullshit upsell add-ons you'll see in men's clinics that exist to give people who don't need it prescriptions for TRT. Lifelong supplementation that would be equivalent to a genetic predisposition to making more of it naturally has to be exceedingly rare, though, probably to the point that zero people ever have done it.
