I Am Going To Take 250MG Of DHEA Today At 17yo. What Would Happen?

[x69]

I will share my experiences on it and won't take DHEA for a week. First time taking it

The effect of oral dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on the urine testosterone/epitestosterone (T/E) ratio in human male volunteers. - PubMed - NCBI

"One subject agreed to take a single dose of 250 mg. This acute, high dose caused his T/E ratio to increase by 40% relative to the predose value."


Can I expect that effect?

Estrogen shoots up? Estrogens, DHT, and DHEA are all capable of triggering growth plate closure.

IIRC, 8-10 mg/kg magnesium is associated with increased/normalized DHEA and lower SHBG. Add the other vitamins and minerals (and correct any nutrient deficiencies) and you have about all that's necessary until 30+. Many B vitamins increase estrogen clearance efficiency and fat-soluble vitamins tend to act like aromatase inhibitors. One recommendation is to avoid going over 50 ng/mL 25(OH)D until puberty ends, leaving the desired range as 40-50 ng/mL.

An androgenic diet (grass-fed meats, butter, cheeses, milk, etc; cold-pressed organic oils, eggs, steel cut oatmeal; avoiding soy and other goitrogenic or estrogenic foods, etc), a slight calorie surplus, maybe avoiding intermittent fasting (said to not be the best during growth periods), and 20 minutes of direct sunlight on the scrotum (maybe a sun/SAD lamp will have a similar effect) all tend to increase testosterone.

Insufficient sleep duration/quality tends to blunt androgen levels.

250 mg?

So silly. It will cause harm not benefit.

I dont think taking it once does much. Take it for month and report back. I wouldnt . That is very high dose and will go to estrogen route.

Well you’re definitely a 17 year old.

I don’t know if 250mg would that much more than 10-50mg. I assume there’s only so much the body can assimilate and utilize in the space of a few hours.

I already took 500mg haha. It will probably have a effect after I wake up.. didn't feel much different from 250mg.

Update: I have taken 1000mg of DHEA.

Hating yourself but still in the name of science.

What happened?

Careful about using the word science in place of god.

Wouldn’t the body just perceive the amount and put what it doesn’t need into the urine or something

It's fat soluble I believe so no
