Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I dictated my first attempt at a review and it didn't turn out all that great, nor did amazon appear to post it, so this is my second go: With a product like DHEA, it can be hard to assess the effects compared across brands, but I selected one on the recommendation of people that I trust to know what they are talking about, and I could not be happier with that choice. In fact, I just reordered. The company is superb, has a fantastic reputation and, rather than selling every supplement known to man, focuses on DHEA and related/quasi-similar products. This was an important factor for me. Below, I present some research and then describe my own experience. I need to make it absolutely clear at the outset that I AM NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR AND ANYTHING I SAY SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED, OR RELIED UPON, IN ANY WAY, AS MEDICAL ADVICE, and should even regarded as incomplete, untrue or even misleading until you choose to verify these claims with a qualified and properly certified professional. With that said, I did a lot of research on DHEA before deciding to take it, focusing on clinical studies and academic papers available on Google scholar (and pub med). In the majority of what I read, the effects of DHEA improved male functioning on several levels and (at least to some degree) had pronounced and noticeable effect, especially in “older" men (as defined as mid-20s and up; sorry guys but you are old). Documented effects include greater energy, improved mood, improved cognitive functioning, greater motivation, sexual benefits, and others that escape me right now as it has been a while. From a subjective standpoint, I experienced virtually all of the benefits listed above and DHEA has certainly improved my life and general outlook considerably. I am in my late 30s and, at times, previously experienced symptoms similar to those of mild depression, such as a lack of motivation, increased fatigue, mental “fogginess,” problems with sleep, decreased libido, a pronounced lack of motivation in many aspects of my life, a more negative mood and pessimistic outlook, and some others as well. Many doctors, let alone lay people, are unaware that the symptoms of mild depression mirror those associated with low androgen levels, and the latter can often be the culprit. DHEA supplementation returned me to normal (or close to normal) within 2-3 weeks. [I am NOT suggesting that those suffering severe or worrying symptoms should not seek psychiatric care or request a full hormone panel from your GP] As mentioned, I just reordered and plan to take this product indefinitely, especially given the dramatic drop in DHEA levels following one’s very early 20s. I wish I had started at roughly the age when endogenous levels plummet, but better late than never. There is also evidence that DHEA plays an important role in the human body with respect to the proper/more optimal functioning of various body systems (even on the cellar level), and while not subjectively felt, they are beneficial to the organism, including their effects on aging. And thus is not only for vanity's sake because of potentially serious age-related diseases — IF one can lessen the likelihood of age-related diseases, such as heart problems, supplementation is a no-brainer for me (I would have to review my research and verify that what i am writing has been documented or theorized by experts). Anyway, because of its status as a demonstrably important pro-hormone, it was very important for me to buy a pure and well regarded brand, manufactured in the USA in a FDA-Registered according to GMP standards, and perhaps as tellingly, an ironclad 100% guarantee. I found all of this with Superior Labs.
