Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This seems to be a good quality DHEA supplement and I personally feel best taking the absolutely lowest dose DHEA I can find. I don't take this on a daily basis, just on an "as needed" basis. For me, that translates to, at most, 2 to 3 times a week, sporadically. Other people may need to take this 5 mg dosage, or even a higher one, several times a day, for years at a time. If you need it, it can be a fantastic tool to enhance your health. I would advise caution and the vital importance of self-education to anyone using any kind of supplemental hormones (DHEA, 7-KETO, melatonin, progesterone cream, pregnenolone, etc.) and supplements that encourage hormone secretion (tribulus, etc.). DO YOUR RESEARCH, ALWAYS!!! These aren't just "vitamin pills." I get VERY bothered by health advisors who take a flippant approach to hormonal supplementation (as in, advising women to take 50 mg of DHEA on a daily basis for a long period of time). Don't do it without KNOWING what you're doing and paying very close attention to any signs of side effects. With DHEA, less can sometimes be more, particularly for women. Supplemental hormones can be greatly beneficial, but it's important to proceed with an informed viewpoint and to take occasional "hormone holidays" (i.e. a break from taking them) to keep your body's own natural production working effectively. This seems to be an effective DHEA and it seems to be enhancing my energy levels without over-stimulating testosterone or estrogen production (yes, DHEA CAN do that, if you take too much). I like this very much--it seems safe & sensible. I also modulate my DHEA supplementation by taking a daily dose of DIM, which is said to help convert harmful estrogens to less-harmful forms (too complex to go into here--see Google & Wikipedia). This is my favorite: Nature's Way DIM-plus -- 120 Capsules. I'd also recommend this book for those wishing to learn more about safely using DHEA and other supplementals: The Metabolic Plan: Stay Younger Longer. I buy this DHEA via Amazon's Subscribe & Save program; the price is right for this high quality supplement; highly recommended for those who do their research FIRST!
