Trimax with DHEA

[MaynardMeek]

I don't mean to start another trimax thread.. but i have just started taking DHEA (300mg ed oral) along with trimax... i have taken trimax in the past and i know what to expect.. more so with my lower body fat %... however, is it just me, or is there some sort of scientific reason why i would be seeing better results with trimax with DHEA then trimax standing alone..?

The DHEA could raise test and preserve muscle so instead of losing fat AND muscle you would lose just fat ( and less muscle )

DHEA hasn't been recommended in studies over 100mg per day.
It will also raise estrogen levels.

meh, been getting the opposite, and running it for 2 weeks only

DHEA is not a steroid or PH, it is more of a hormone stabilizer/optimizer.. I personally would never run anything less than a solid PH while taking trimax.. unless you find it so easy to build muscle you dont care if you lose it all

DHEA is not a pro-hormone huh? Then what is the definition of a pro-hormone? Is it not a compound that converts to an active hormone?

Anyway, DHEA can lower cortisol, that's one possible explanation. The other is that it I've seen it talked about that 7-oxo-DHEA sensitizes some of the receptors that thyroid hormones act on directly or indirectly, I don't remember.

good read thank you very much

DHEA is probably an agonist for RXR (just like 7-OXO). That means it would allow for more thyroid hormone binding.


Along with the other stuff like PPARgamma suppression.

I found studies supporting that for 7-oxo, but not DHEA. One thing I was unclear on was whether or not DHEA can convert to 7-oxo. At least one of the studies I found yesterday seemed to imply this.
