Anything Like BPS Dermacrine?

Dermacrine got great reviews and was a favorite as a test base among many users. I know OL has Su3r DHEA but I believe it is just straight DHEA, without the estrogen and DHT blockers that Dermacrine had. Primeval bought BPS and then, what, discontinued Dermacrine without any similar replacement? What was the point? What am I missing here?

Sup3r DHEA isn't just straight DHEA, it also contains Pregnenolone, Acacetin for estrogen management and Osthole for a "feel good" effect. It's a proper substitute for Dermacrine.

Well AlphaGainz DHEA TD is a straight dhea-only topical. SUP3R DHEA has other stuff, as pointed out.

You're right! I didn't know that. I thought I looked into it and it was straight DHEA, but perhaps I was looking at a different TD DHEA product.

Did NOT know that haha! That pretty much solves the dilemma. We can close this thread now. Thanks!

I would buy 1 bottle of whatever you pick, and get the DHEA-S blood test before and after - could save you a lot money down the road. I only get a 10-20 point boost in DHEA-S levels per 100mg TD DHEA. The test goes to 375 for top of range. 400mg DHEA only gets me to ~180 (baseline was 140). YMMV.

I love how you break everything down to the science. Your experiences make our decisions easier. I'm just looking for something to serve as a test base. Seems like a lot of people feel good on Dermacrine. Whether that's related to the DHEA, something else in it, placebo effect, or a combination of things, it seems to be a popular choice.

4-AD is *probably better* (no studies, not a lot of anecdotal blood work). There are two TD DHEA studies in people, the Test increase was small.

They're basically used to just fight lethargy on cycle, which means the psychological effects can be more valuable than the nominal boost in DHEA-S. So, people aren't exactly looking for much in terms of "gains" but rather just combat lethargy. Some people combat it with caffeine and others swear by these test bases. I may not even use them, but I can carry TD DHEA and/or 4-DHEA on hand just in case lethargy kicks in.

Thanks for those links. I'm going to check them out!

Just used Dermacrine as a test base for my msten run, and gotta say it worked great. 4 pumps worked for me (227lbs starting weight). Also gotta give big props for the delivery system and gel itself. Even pumps and gel dried quickly. Good stuff, will use again!

Edit: so I gotta ask, bottle looks to be the same... will be same delivery system?

Formula is identical, so delivery will be the same

What’s the status on these orders?
everyone who ordered should have received their orders by now. Orders started shipping on the 8th (a few days later than expected), but it took a few days to get them all out.

Forgot to mention that I love the new carrier on the 3 can of Dermacrine I got.
It was different than the first 2 cans that I got when it first came back out on the market.

Not that the first (more Tan carrier was bad) the new carrier has more of a lotion feel to it.

No guys I don't suggest rubbing one off with it! LOL

What does Dermacrine actually do when used on a PH cycle like with DMZ?
Help to balance all the hormones, etc?

Most use it on cycle to help with lethargy! I use it because I like it! helps with too many things to type out!

Personally I wouldn't recommend it as the only test base. But some have.

a lot of guys use it to combat lethargy and lack of libido on cycle. it might also increase gains, keep mood high.

for me dermacrine is a definite feel good product, a great add on for guys like me on trt.

I really like the carrier! only carrier I like better is Salvo (but only for small doses) too runny for larger doses.

Was planning on using Dermacrine at 3 pumps per day...Is it best to split the dosage pumps to 2 pumps AM and 1 pump PM or all at once?

I like it all at once...people are different, you might like it split up. find what works best for you-you get more of a boost if used all at once though.

it's best if applied after a shower.

It best right after a shower! Dosage is based on how much you weight. (This is an old chart) thebigt should be able to confirm.
150-190 lbs: 3 pumps
191-230 lbs: 4 pumps
231+ lbs: 5 pumps
