[Connorwhitt]

I saw a bottle at vitamin shoppe that had a supplement called DHEA if I'm correct ?
I did some further research and have a simple question,
Is this a steroid ?

DHEA(Dihydroepiandrosterone) is a naturally orccuring prohormone that is essential for both men and women. In men, it has inherent effects, but it also converts in to testosterone and to a lesser extent, estrogen.

You shouldn't be supplementing with DHEA unless you are in your late 30's-40's or older, as that's when natural DHEA levels decline.

In the body dhea converts to andro , andro converts to test. (readers digest simplified version)
As stated its not a steroid ...in my mind anyway.
Providing more dhea doesnt unfortuantely = more test.Just because something exerts an effect in the body doesnt mean more of that something will exert more of that effect. Shame so many supp companies rely on this flawed logic to sell products that end up essentially being useless.
DHEA is predominantly useless until natural levels decrease with age as stated above.
Now to hear LG sciences tell it back in 2009 they attached an ester to dhea that made it the main effective ingredient in one of their products. Oh btw this claim is chemically impossible. The ingredient is/was plain old useless dhea. Nice , ethical , conduct huh?

its those 30-40 yr olds that kept mccain fom putting it on the ban list, and opening the door for the primordial performance androseries....i highly doubt it was 40 year olds jamming the site last week tho

dhea is so weak on its own, its a supp in my mind
