I just spent over $400 (my share, insurance picked up the rest) to have my DHEA and Testosterone levels
checked at five week intervals (first two, then 10 weeks for last). My Test. levels were 283, 402, and 580
, DHEA levels were 418, 422, and 423
respectively. From my blood tests, it does not seem that DHEA level has anything to do with Test. levels. The
2nd Test. level was elavated due to an exam, and the 3rd Test. level was 5 weeks after my last Test. Enathate
injection and a month on DHEA. I did not feel any difference in my workouts when I used the DHEA. The Test.
injection, now that is a different story. My doctor had some literature that stated that any DHEA level under
600 was deficient (the normal range is 132 to 1300). He recommended the test with DHEA using 150mg/day.
I just had the test taken again, 10 weeks after the last one to see if any changes occur. From my experience
I would say save your money on the DHEA.
