Hi guys
Long time reader, first post here...
Had some bloodwork done recently and while most of it seemed OK, DHEA came across a little low.
DHEAS came in at 5.080 umol/L (187.18 ug/dl). According to Life Extension (can't post link at the moment due to restrictions), the optimal range should be 400 - 500 ug/DL, which means I'm some way off.
Is it worth supplementing? I am 40, male - in reasonably good shape. 5' 7 and around 140 lbs. I don't know if I should even explore pregnenolone. I do take KSM66 to help out with stress/cortisol
Ironically, I looked back at an earlier test from 2015 and it was around 270 ug/dl. So it's dropped even further - there have been some stressful family and job issues in this time though.
If supplementation is an option, is topical better than oral? And, do I need to worry about these estrogen issues that I often read about on forums?
Thanks for reading!
