DHEA in PCT

Svizac

Anyone thought of using DHEA in PCT (in conjuction with AI and SERMs?)?

Rationale behind it is that testes use DHEA from the blood to convert it to testosterone, so higher concentration of DHEA in blood -> higher testes throughput -> faster recovery.

I look it up on the net, but I couldn't really find any useful studies ...

Things I don't know for sure:
- do testes use DHEA from the blood or do they produce it themselves (I've only found info that adrenals produce DHEA)?
- is DHEA maybe elevated after AAS cycle (since testes shut down and no conversion occurs)
- does the greater DHEA conversion to T increase testicular regeneration?
- now that I think about it, it probably doesn't, since testosterone production=DHEA*conversion enzyme level, and when we increase DHEA levels, we only achieve higher test production trough higher precursor concentration.

Any thoughts?

i used it at 100mg ED during my last pct because i didnt want to use clomid. i also used many other supplements in conjunction with it. it worked well imo

^^Ditto.

I believe it was Whitey who advised it.

Either Whitey or Bryan.

Either way.. it worked great: 100 mg ED

DHEA is a rather effective cortisol reducer - I highly recommend it! My protocol was 200mg, which I dropped by 50mg each week.

DHEA is also a fairly potent anabolic for women - I may have dosed it too high, in retrospect (50mg for the little lady), but it didn't seem to have any undesirable side effects. I'd certainly recommend it to females as a legal, safer alternative to anavar.

But for our purposes, it's great in PCT.
