Checking DHEA

Is there a particular lab that you want to get done for this?

I have heard about DHEA-S and I want to make sure (like E2) that I specify the correct test.

i.e.: DHEA, DHEA-S, DHEA ultra sensitive, DHEA standing on one foot....:blink:

It's crazy how much difference there is in labs... My dhea at labcorp showed normal midrange but my Rhein showed really high.

The Urines are more accurate, no doubts about it.

I would trust the rhein score.

what was it? were you on any dhea supps at the time.

Yeah, exactly the same here. Labcorp I was low, but rhein I was high (like way out of range high). I personally wasn't on DHEA at the time at all.

i was oppostie normal in blood low in urine must mean I am not metabolizing it at all. Make by backing up in sulufation pathways who knows
 
I wonder if Rhein is accurate in regards to dhea then? Sounds very suspect. I wasn't on dhea either.

ya but the price comparison between the two generally is much more in favor of rheinlabs....genova can be pricey.

Genova was a more comprehensive test and rheine would not have found the root cause of my problem methyation and magneisum defiecincy, COMT enzyme lagging
