DHEA study

Just thought this info might be of interest:

During DHEA treatment a significant increase was seen in DHEA-S concentration, 4-androstenedione concentrations and in IGF-I as compared with placebo and with baseline...No alterations were observed in plasma cortisol and ACTH levels, testosterone, SHBG, 17beta-oestradiol, LH and TSH levels between DHEA, placebo and baseline.

And no I did not copy and paste this, I read the journal and typed it for you guys. Hope it was worth my time.

I would say DHEA supplementation is next to worthless, at least for testosterone increases.
