Hi

I have been taking this for a few months now i first took it as part of my pct and have not stopped since it seems to be helping with fat metabolism but its hard to know as im curently on cylcle does anyone elce have any input on this sup
 
Complex question. Long since the darling of the anti-aging movement, but remains controversial.

Primoridial believe that a feedback loop is in opteration, i.e. not to be used in PCT. That is balanced against the lower bioavailability (oral).

Others claim DHEA supps do not get turned into test ("DHEA breakthrough" forget the author) and that DHEA is used for many other processes. If that is the case then yes its good for PCT.

If Primordial are correct at worst is worsening PCT at best its not making much difference.

Transdermal DHEA is a prominent part of their anabolic kit.
 
Oh it may hammer your cortisol response. If thats correct then its not PCT.

I think then on balance this ain't a good PCT, but there's at least one entire book above (anti-aging) dedicated to selling its function as PCT. Its on Amazon.

Oh British nutritionists are banned from recommending it as a supplement, they don't think its PCT.

It'd be interesting to hear from the US anti-aging DHEA.

I don't think there's any clear answer here.
 
Actually I better make an attempt at answering this... Primodrial will say that DHEA is not PCT but if its oral dosing it'll not hurt. Whatever the British society for nutritionists is, they'll back that up. I know 'cause my nutritionist told me when I brought the subjuct up; 'never touch DHEA!' was the response.

The problem I find with nutritionists is that they are extremely picky about supplements.

My opinion is that DHEA as a daily supplement (anti-aging) is too risky. There are too many varied opinions and some very heated debates. Pregnenolone however is something I think I'll use long term because of its alleged nootropic effects.

I started pregnenolone with a new supplement (novel approach) and something kicked hard but I couldn't work out which is was.

Boy ..... I can't stop writing ...anyway the argument is this
Pregnenolone -> basal androgen ... yes
Pregnenolone -> found all the shop (e.g. central nervous system) ... yes
Pregnenolone -> deficieny correlating with changes in mood ... yes association proven
Thus preg. doing a whole load of jobs other than androgen stuff ... yes

DHEA -> test ... Primordial ... yes
DHEA - doing other stuff... now that depends who you talk to and thats the argument. In fact they seem to go on to suggest that DHEA-> test doesn't happen - which doesn't make sense.
 
Thanks for the reply I have just been doing some reading on Pregnenolone, and it seems like its two stages away from being converted to DHEA, although wik states its a prohormone I do disagree, Pregnenolone may elevate your DHEA levels, and DHEA can increase estrogen and testosterone levels, Now I don't mind an increase in test levels, as for the estrogen levels a mild estrogen blokker may be very effective along side pregnenolone, its quite cheap to,

I have been dosing dhea at 50 mg but Im tempted to double it and see what effects I get on a funny side since I have been taking it Im getting an increase in morning glory,

what sort of dose are you taking of pregnenolone
 
Well as USP pointed out there are sterols in Mucana that appear to boost spermamatogenesis. It appears more than just a neat form of L-dopa. I find the use of plant sterols in estrogen blocking quite attractive.
 
I think Muira puama is more of a phytoestrogen like fenugreek or maca. It may replace true estrogen by mimicking the effects to a small degree.
