Regarding DHEA,

I am postmenopausal and I love my DHEA supplements. I do not stick to one brand. I have mentioned DHEA on several occasions on Earth Clinic usually along with other supplements. I have been on DHEA at least seven years now. When it comes to a "mind to accomplish, " DHEA has given me the mind to do great things. Even when I felt like I did not have strength to do great things, I had the desire to do something creative.

In the supplement reviews, some people have said they lost weight while taking DHEA, I didn't notice that. When my body has pains and stiffness, I also use other supplements for energy and healing. The DHEA definitely helps me chase anxiety, and I can see things done, I get moving, though sometimes slow. If I throw D3, Vitamin E and Coq10 in there, try to catch up with me.

I started with DHEA 5mg, and stayed 25mg daily a few years. At 71 years of age now, sometimes take 50mgs. My clinic does not test for DHEA, so I just keep the dose at a senior citizen low.

Here is helpful information about DHEA:

I started taking DHEA a few years ago and the results were impressive with no side effects. Wrinkles decreased, inflammation reduced, female 'stuff' improved, eyelashes grew. Then I changed lifestyle for a while and stopped taking it. I'm now back on and the results are just amazing again. After 1 week start to see improvements. I feel really just generally good too, with energy. Give it a try. I take half a capsule as a whole one would tend to give me so much go I couldn't get to sleep at night.
