Adding DHEA

[Stephanie2]

Oh...right...it's for your son

 

Well, you may be able to get it at Whole Foods. Or vitamin shoppe...

Hope he responds well! Have a good weekend!

 

Hardie har har......

...i don't want to wait for iherblll

ds started taper yesterday...

 

Gee, fixit, I thought you wanted to get this thread back to technical talk

 

Let me guess your husband read the post over your shoulder and said "GO GET SOME NOW!" Haha!

 

You can get it at a healthfood store (I get mine at iherb.com). But start low and go slow. And consider getting an integrative medicine doc on board who specializes in bioidentical hormones so you are doing it right. I promise you won't regret it!

 

I get the 10 mg capsule and I open the capsule and dump about 3/4 of it out then I put the capsule back together (2.5mg). I might order the 5 mg capsule (pure encapsulations makes a 5mg) next time and just dump 1/2... BTW, men take a lot more. They start with 25 mg and go up from there...I just started my husband and I have him up to 40. I need to get his blood drawn, but we do know his testosterone tested low.

 

 

Can you just get this at a local pharmacy...

i was going to go to the vitamin/herb/natural store ...but i couldn't swing it todya.

also..i only want to give about 5 mg....

and taper down from there with dosag.....

It looks like you can get 5mg DHEA on Amazon (and those you could break in 1/2 to get 2.5mg). http://www.amazon.com/Douglas-Labs-DHEA-5-MG/dp/B0013I23Q2/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1382033522&sr=1-1&keywords=dhea+5mg

 

 

There is also a cream (bypasses the liver?), but I think it would be hard to measure out small doses with the pump. http://www.amazon.com/Life-Flo-DHEA-Highly-Absorbent-Cream/product-reviews/B00014J4L6/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending I'm not sure how much is in each squirt of the pump (15mg??).

 

Any updates on any one using DHEA?
