DHEA for 18 year old?

[Zestos]

Yesterday I bough a bottle of DHEA with 50 mg each pill. I didn't really know what it was until now, so I'm thinking whether I should take them or not. Would it work for an 18 year old? I was also thinking of taking them on keto because it reduces cortisol.

I lift weights and I do sprints. Would it help me to take them before sprints or should I just forget about it?

Thanks

take it back, you don't need dhea for another 10 years maybe even more. Do you realize that dhea is a steroid? you don't need it and next time research a product/substance before you buy/take it. i dont mean to be harsh...if i'm coming off as that just trying to help

DHEA is a prohormone, not a steroid. And probably the only one to make it past the ban because it still has legit uses.

But anybody under 35 really doesn't need it.

umm no dhea is a steroid produced in your body.


read here:
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an endogenous hormone (made in the human body), and secreted by the adrenal gland. DHEA serves as precursor to male and female sex hormones (androgens and estrogens). DHEA levels in the body begin to decrease after age 30, and are reported to be low in some people with anorexia, end-stage kidney disease, type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes), AIDS, adrenal insufficiency, and in the critically ill. DHEA levels may also be depleted by a number of drugs, including insulin, corticosteroids, opiates, and danazol.

DHEA serves as precursor to male and female sex hormones (androgens and estrogens).

Steroid (as applied to bodybuilding): An anabolic hormone.

PH: a precursor to a steroid.


Where's your confusion?



Something being a hormone doesn't make it a steroid. Otherwise we'd all be getting swole off of dat dere melatonin.

difference between anabolic steroids and other types of steroids

Regardless people, the fact of the matter is that 18 yr. old males are already walking stiffies and have no need for a product that increases testosterone and then converts to estrogen screwing up his bodies already delicate balance.

If you want to gain size, eat more. Work out harder. There are plenty of safer alternatives for you to use. I would highly recommend staying away from any pro-hormone or Pre-curser steroid or steroids for quite some time. I would never encourage the use of Anabolic steroids. Stick with the NO2's, Creatine and protein supps. Be patient and work hard, your body will shape in time.

Really the best thing to achieve your goals is nutrition. Supps give an edge, but real results come from eating well. Learn your Nutrition. Good Luck.

You are not coming across as harsh. I believe you are right because I just bought it without knowing what it was lol. I should research more before buying. Thanks.

True but I can't just throw them away. When are the levels of testosterone the lowest? I could take advantage of that time frame, to avoid it from converting to estrogen. Could that work? I wanna do keto and on keto I have heard that testosterone declines so it could be useful. Thanks for helping.

Testosterone levels are lowest when your 100 yrs old. You have a natural process, your natural testosterone converts to estrogen. Unless you want puffy nipples, pre-mature balding, shrinking testes with no sex drive, I would highly recommend taking it back.

Pls just stick to the creatine, protein, type stuff. You won't see much gain for the negatives with taking DHEA.

shrinking balls and no sex drive happens when you take synthetic steroids, because your body notices the extra testosterone and stops making it therefore shrinking your balls, no sex drive is also a side effect of no balls. DHEA on the other hand tells your balls to increase production rate so in return you'll actually have larger balls, higher sex drive and you wont go bald with puffy nipples

DHEA does in fact increase libido(sex drive) you are correct. you get a good well being feeling from it.
