    Given that they are steroid in nature, I wonder if micritization is really necessary. I actually have no idea. Anyway....

    Pregnenolone = MRM brand - Yes Micronized - Limited availability from my supplement supplier and cost pretty much drive the decision.

    DHEA = Life Extension Brand - Label does not say either way, so I'm guessing not. Again, availability drives the decision. My regular supplier will not ship this hormone to California, so I order directly from the manufacturer.

    might be worthwhile to poke my doctor for a script...

    How much do you pay for these ? DHEA is a controlled substance in Canada and banned as a supplement. Do either of these exist as a prescription? Wondering if I can poke my Doctor

    Laws vary by state. California for example does not allow the sale of DHEA in stores, but does allow pregnenelone. I my regular supplement supplier will not ship DHEA to California, but another one will, so I go with the other one.

    Regarding cost, they are relatively inexpensive, though I am not particularly price sensitive. DHEA 25 mg tabs cost between $0.04 and $0.27 USD per tablet, depending on the brand and bottle size count. Mine cost about $0.10 per tablet. Pregnenelone 30 mg cost about the same as DHEA. AMAZON has a good selection here in the USA.

    Yeah, ridiculous. They banned it a couple years ago, but they have a difficult time regulating interstate commerce.

    Thanks for the information. I found a local store that actually carries it, $20.00 for 60 tabs @ 25mg but online $40.00 shipped for 300 tabs, can't go wrong with that. Are you taking the DHEA with food and any particular time of day ?

    I just take it with my normal evening supplements. Usually right after dinner. As I said previously, I'm not overly concerned about DHEA levels, as I supplement with HCG and that replaces the lost LH signal for initiating both testicular and adrenal steroidogenesis.
