Blood work dhea

[Johnnm123]

Hello. My DHEA levels were very low for about a year under 100 or so I started to supplement with 50 mg daily. DHEA felt great two months later I feel some sleep issues and irritability retested my blood DHEA is now 1000 double the amount. My question is do I simply lower the dose to 25 daily or stop taking supplement for period of time and begin again? My test was 1200 -e2 60 pg ml . ? Any advice is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Your test levels were at 1200? is DHEA the only thing you are taking? If so thats a hell of a boost.

Going from 100 to 1000 isn't double just so you know.....

If you google Dhea supplement half life this is what it says;
The elimination half-life of DHEA is 15-38 minutes, whereas the half-life of DHEAS is 7-22 hours. Renal excretion accounts for 51-73% of the elimination of DHEAS and its metabolites.
Probably fine dropping it to 25mg per day and reassess in a a month or so.

Typical normal ranges for males are:
Ages 18 to 19: 108 to 441 µg/dL or 2.92 to 11.91 µmol/L.
Ages 20 to 29: 280 to 640 µg/dL or 7.56 to 17.28 µmol/L.
Ages 30 to 39: 120 to 520 µg/dL or 3.24 to 14.04 µmol/L.
I think he meant that 1000 is twice the norm.

Any advice is very much appreciated.

Probably 25mg a day would give you the upper limit of normal.
It must be good for you.
