I consumed alot of pregnenolone (girly name) with no effect.

When I bought some 100mg DHEA capsules im starting to get freaky things happening.

If you want to take DHEA then I advise not consuming more than 25-50mg per day.

Pregnenolone you can take as much as you like, although it doesnt do anything used on its own.
 
Yes, as high doses 100-200mg+, DHEA is surprisingly androgenic. Unfortunately, its not terribly anabolic and converts unpredictably to estrogen...

Stay away from pregnenolone, 3 long steps away from testosterone and good likelihood of estrogen conversion....
 
garbage product bro - you won't get any good results from it imo - stick with the provens. If you can buy it at GNC and it's not fish oil, chances are it's not to great :P (slight exageration but you get my point).
 
dhea is a pretty bad product to be using IMO
i dont remember the particulars but even though it does boost some things that can be helpful due to its nature it also boosts a number of things in your body that can hurt your in a negative way

no real need to be using it
 
Pregnenolone and DHEA??
If you are not over 45 then you should be ashamed of yourself.
Never use Pregnenolone..please.
If you have to find a use for DHEA.
Perhaps PCT would be fine along with a serm, but please make sure it is time released to minimize the sides a bit.
 
You had to take DHEA to know it would cause acne?

I thought you was smarter than that Smyth. Androgenic activity = increased gland activation = increased pore clogging = increased acne.

If you want a solution to acne (from steroids or just from anything);
Wash the skin 2x a day with 4-5% solution of Chlorhexidine Gluconate
Rub on 1-2x a day a cream containing 5% Spironolactone
 
Since I stopped taking it I have not got a single zit.

Ashamed of taking pregnenolone? It is a waste of money but not really like it is that bad for the health.

I'm trying to do work finding out what yeasts and bacteria and how they metabolize the various steroids.

I also have a bunch of disogenin tablets here that I picked up at a discounted price.
 
I have heard of a few accounts of people taking doses of DHEA stacked with their epistane, to slightly raise ... estrogen levels?? due to the anti-e effects of e-stane, thier claim is that it elevates the estrogen in your body since a little is actually helpful to build muscle. Is their any truth to this, or is it just another hype of bullshit??
 
Im certainly a fan of including something aromatising to help joints, libido and IGF-1 values.
 
Were you only taking 100 milligrams or more then that?

I've found 50 milligrams of DHEA can help me out when I am in a funk. Like when its the worst of winter (sun going down at 4:00 and the temps are in the negatives). I just get tired around those times.

No long term use though.
 
Yeah 100mg capsules.

I think im too young to be using DHEA.

You wont get any gyno or anything of that nature, although it will make your skin covered in zits.

That is normal when I was a 15 year old but at 27 I like not having any blackheads to squeeze.

Click to expand...

I'm 26... I take 50 milligrams only.

I do think that I am on the lower end of the T range though...
