[Leno78]

It says DHEA reduces inslulin requirement .... what does that mean?

Vitamin World is my current source. Inexpensive and effective.

thanks . My insulin is 28. Hard to lose weight

Don't confuse low insulin levels with Insulin resistance, Leno78. They are not at all the same thing in fact Insulin resistance is almost the inverse of the other.

Chivato.. I was told by my doc 8 is a normal insulin level. Mine is 28 and he said I have Insulin Resistance . So does DHEA help reduce insulin levels ??

According to this post, it does help fight insulin resistance, but don't overuse it. It also increases estrogen in men.

Leno, I would try it at a low dose to see if it helps your insulin resistance. I would not exceed 20-25 mg until you have had much more testing and have evaluated the results.

Why do you feel that after you supplement with DHEA, you need to exercise.

 

[Chivato]

Ezeradavis, I am not sure I fully understand your question. Can you give me more detail of what you are requesting?

 

[Ezeradavis]

Thanks to share this post but it can help in insulin. Because there is also Pro Hormones supplements is best.

Exercise needed after supplements .

 

[Tommy Wall]

So if I don´t exercise, DHEA is not good to supplement?

 

[zojo360]

Gene, you have a lot of experience with this. Some time back I took DHEA and bloated up within days. Of course I stopped taking it yet at 45, I wonder if I should try again at a lower dose and give it some time? Currently on cyp only @ 50mg every 3.5 days.

Exercise and DHEA have not one single thing to do with one another; efficacy, on either part.

HCG increases preg and DHEA correct? If taking HCG is it still recommended to supplement with both? If so is it because HCG does not increase substantially?
