Typically DHEA-S is tested, not DHEA. Is that correct for you? Check out the diagram here of those hormones http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Steroidogenesis.svg Notice that an enzyme 5 alpha reductase is involved in conversion of testosterone to DHT. Zinc is known to inhibit that enzyme. So taking more zinc may support your T. You might get away with taking a tiny dose of DHEA supplement. Some people are sensitive to it, seemingly those who have too much mercury. I prefer pregnenolone most days with only a tiny dose of DHEA once or twice per week. Zinc also supports you ...

Any advise on a natural supplement to slightly raise my testosterone? I’m low in testosterone. My DHEA is normal, Cortisol normal, Estradiol low but normal, Progesterone normal. 10 years ago, I tested low in testosterone but did nothing about it. (I’m 48 yr female) Other than decreased sex drive I don’t have any other symptoms. I would only want to do a natural supplement or diet correction. No doctors or prescriptions. Any advise?

Did you ever resolve your problem with progesterone? It is not clear to me if you are saying it was high or low on the test. If your test result as 0.1 ng/mL, that would seem to be low according to the reference range you posed. If you want to increase progesterone, there are OTC creams and Rx higher dose creams. Pregnenolone is the immediate precursor as seen here and is OTC in the US http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Steroidogenesis.svg Were other related steroid hormones low, especially DHEA?

Few month ago I did my tests and it revealed that I have high progesterone level - at the normal rate of 0,35 - 0,63 ng/mL, I’ve got 0.1 ng/mL. Of course that’s not so frightening, but still, are there any methods to increase high level? I’ve read here: https://steroidssaleguide.com/how-to-increase-progesterone-naturally-safe-and-simple-recommendations/ that there are some natural ways of how to to that. But I’m still nervous if they are safe and if anybody tried that? Didi it work? Are there any precautions before taking raspberry leaves plus wild yam, as the article says?   [End]

I think this is a good idea for you; however may not be a fix all. I assume they’ll check Free T3 for thyroid and do a 4x saliva cortisol test or at least include a PM blood cortisol test drawn before the lab closes. Also look into methylation support--B12, folate, TMG, etc. Methylation is involved in many processes in the body including production of adrenaline and a natural amphetamine-like brain chemical. Heavy metal toxicity is related to all of the above.   [End]

The ratio of E to P went from 43 to 258 Optimal Levels are: 100-500. Estradiol is now 2.7 pg/mL 1.3-3.3 pg/mL Premenopausal (Luteal), Testosterone is now 53 pg/mL 16-55 pg/mL (Age Dependent). I was tested last year for yeast ovegrowth, it came back negative.   [End]

Various things can cause the ”estrogen dominance” symptoms. Did the ratio of E to P look okay too? Sometimes it helps to look at your result relative to the reference range. Borderline normal may still make the test suspicious and cause the doc to tweak supplements or meds. Was testosterone much higher than estradiol? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Steroidogenesis.svg Of course your sex organs are still making E as well. the mineral molybdenum is involved in production of sulfate--the S in DHEA-S--and is involved in breakdown of a byproduct of candida--yeast--infec ...

Hi, the results were for DHEA-S. for about 6 months I was taking mil thistle and dandelion for the liver. Nope, I’m not sensitive to any chemicals that I am aware of. I don’t drink alcohol or anything acidic because I suffer from leaky gut and that makes it worse. I haven’t eaten fruits for a year since they cause gas for me, even bananas. I am also lactose intolerent. I’m a 30 year old female. My estradiol is within range. It’s 2.7 from 1.6 in 2016.

Did they test DHEA or DHEA-S? I assume they did the latter and liver sulfation pathway is struggling. Do you have a history of chemical sensitivities, maybe to odors such as diesel fumes, certain perfumes, etc? Are you sensitive to sulfites --with an I--such as in some wines and some dried fruits? When planning to use DHEA supplements I think it is wiser to test both DHEA and DHEA-S at least one time to see if there is a substantial difference. You’ll need to know how to monitor yourself over the long term. Was your estrogen low or lo normal, esp if you are male or pre-m ...

Hi All, I had a hormone saliva test done 8 months ago which indicated that my testosterone levels were low normal and my DHEA levels were very low. I had the test done again and got the results yesterday which says that my testosterone levels are very high but my dhea levels are even lower than before. How could that be? I know that DHEA supplementation can raise testosterone, but why has my DHEA levels decreased. I stopped taking DHEA 2 months ago because I heard that it should not be taken long term. Any advice on what I can take to increase dhea, without increasing testosterone would b ...
