Anyone tried the hormone supplement DHEA?
Looking for real life stories. The only thing bad I have read is that hair loss and pimples are possible but go away.....do they? Anyone know?
I've read this hormone strengthens the immue system especially against cancers, promotes energy and wellbeing, treats mood swings, increases libido has anti-aging effects while strengthinging joints somehow (I'm bad with details but I read this stuff through and through....I don"t know why every woman over 30 doesn't take it....do you?????
Re: Anyone tried the hormone supplement DHEA?
I"m talking science made synthetic DHEA
::Gigglesnort::
Lemme guess...you went to college at a state school?
The side effects of DHEA are likely irreversible: women who take it often grow facial and body hair (it increases testosterone), stop menstruating (may not be able to have children in the future), have decreased levels of HDL, the good cholesterol, andwomen with high DHEA levels were shown to be more likely to have heart disease than women with normal levels. An increase in heart arrythmias was also shown in people taking 50 mg of DHEA a day.
These are probably te reasons why evert woman over 30 isn't taking it. They don't want to have to shave their faces and backs and die early from heart disease.
Well, if it's made by SCIENCE...
Someone with RN in their name asked about Hydroxy-Cut on 3-6 the other day,. Some of the nurses on TB make me sad.
I'm so glad you're here.
You haven't answered my question from the "my H pounds me every night because I'm a slvt who sinned against God" post.
Are you a real person?
I asked for REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE If we worried about every POSSIBLE side effect we would never take anything. Most of the time those never even happen thats why I wanted to ask people who have tried it. So far this "Nest" site has not been helpful for much of ANYTHING
Since I last posted I found several people sharing their experiences online. Only two shared of hair and pimple problems but all said it went away in a few weeks. EVERYONE else had positive things to say. Even Doctors posted they have been taking it for years. When I had insurance I had a hormone level test done due to low sex drive and my testosterone and estrogen were both low so Im not worried, based on the advice from other women my age I will only be taking 25mg split in two doses.
Thanks for all your help... NOT
Oh okay so the side effects that dirtyred posted about don't concern you?
