Hey I wanna start taking these . 400mg pregnenolone, 100mg progesterone and 200mg dhea.

someone said pregnenolone should always be twice as much as your DHEA. can someone explain why?

Also according to EXAMINE you want 200mg DHEA to increase testosterone.

My worries are someone said DHEA over 25mg causes Liver enlargement in rats or something. Is that something I should be worried about? Is it dangerous to have a big liver ? Im kind of a noob when it comes to these stuff.

Yes that is a crazy high dose. Start with 4 or 5 milligrams of dhea. A few milligrams of pregnenolone and progesterone. Then observe.

that seems way too low.. also since it goes trough your liver etc you would get even less.. Why do you even bother with such low dosages? does it even make a difference?

A huge difference. More can turn into estrogen or throw off your natural production.

The typical more is better mentality. But no it is not! You better listen to this wise hamster.

It depends on your age. 50 mg pregnenolone could be okey if you are over 40+ if not better half the dose 25 mg and below 5 mg of DHEA. It is hard to dose 5 mg because you probably use capsules. DHEA simply turns very easy into estrogen if you aren't lean and use AIs, even then its not guaranteed it wont.

what about 50mg pregnenolone and 25mg dhea

You shouldn't go over 15 mg of DHEA otherwise you might increase estrogen.

Increased testosterone doesn't always translate to feeling better; especially if you have high estrogen, it will just aromatize into more estrogen, which is elevated in pretty much every disease and cancer.

That's garbage about Pregnenolone. It's fine to take 100mg Pregnenolone. Peats said many times there's no feedback loop. Dhea should be under 15mg daily though
