I have for the last year been supplementing DHEA of 100mgs and i have risen my Testosterone levels back into what is considered a normal range. On Feb 9, 2007 i had a Testosterone level of 16 what is very low considering the range which is supposed to be normal 44-148 pg/ml. After about 22 months of supplementing DHEA and feeling great, i retook a hormone test for my DHEA and testosterone and got a score of 80 based on a normal range of 44-148 pg/ml. I use a company called ZRT laboratories and its a home test based on your saliva. Its rather inexpensive i think i paid $55 for the 2 hormones tested. If anyone is out there and are suffering from low testosterone or think they are. Its a cheap way of finding out without having to go to a doctor and paying hundreds. Thought i would just report some of my results for anyone that has had low testosterone and what i had done to raise them. I am also now using a ROP to see if i can really get my test levels even higher. i started using my ROP after the test.
 
Younger guys using DHEA supps should start off with a low dose, maybe like 25mg.
 
i am only 37, and i am taking 100mgs. There is no limit really, i have been doing research on it for almost 2 years. Dr's will say 5-10mgs. But then again i don't know any MD's that know anything about DHEA. I started out at 25mg and then 50mg and now at 100mg i feel my best. I tell people to start at 50mg. And see how you feel. But like i stated, get your hormones checked after about 6 months or so after taking something to see if its working.
 
Where do you get your DHEA? Ive done Test boosters before but didnt like side effects such as mood swings, sensitive nipples. However i did take test boosters because I lift and i did like the results i attained.
 
maybe you guys can help me out. I had my testosterone levels checked out. I have not seen my Dr since the results and would like to know what you think.
results reference
The paper only says.....Testosterone 243 72/623 ng/dl


I feel like shit and wonder if this result is why? Can anyone give me some thoughts?? I don't have another appointment with my Dr until March

Thanks

Walgreens sells a bottle of 300 for around 20 bucks.They're 50 mgs each..or,wal mart has schiff 80 tabs 25 mg each for around 5 bucks.but whatever you do...dont exceed 100 mg a day.

Dhea is a natural test boster try 100 mg and get active in the gym.
 
Thanks Rod,

Haven't been to the DR. yet, so I will try some DHEA. As far as the gym goes, I run almost 5miles a day in 45 min on the treadmill. I have to push like hell to get it done. You would think that I should feel energized from the workouts, but I am still feeling like a blob at anytime during the day.
 
I will mention that DHEA will not help guys out much who have normal to high levels of testosterone already but is good for those with low levels. Just so no one gets thinking its like the juice.
 
Interesting read. I wonder if increased test will boost my growth overall. I mean, Im 19 years old and I feel like I'm not done growing. I havent grown in height for the past year or two. I cant recall if my penis stopped growing as well as I did not measure 2 years ago, but to the best of my knowledge it has stopped growing.

The only reason why I say I am still undergoing puberty is because my facial hair is not full developed. I get very minimal chin hair which I shave off (the 2-3 strands that DO grow) in effort to make it thicker, and promote growth. But this is the only reason why I feel like Im still going through puberty. I am a later bloomer, I dont think puberty really kicked in until I was 15 or even 16.

So if anyone can answer my questions that would be great

1) Does my lack of facial hair indicate that my body is still growing?
2) Will supplementing DHEA to boost my test levels maybe...trigger new growth?
3) How did you get the TWO test kits for $55? The cheapest I see is $170 and thats for one test...?:(

Thanks guys.
 
Dhea wont touch you if your a normal healthy person. Your young so the dhea levels should be fine, its in older people who have lower dhea and benefit from its supplementation. Dont start messing with test now at 19 because the plates can prematurely close which will limit your growth such as wider shoulders which would suck!! Your test should be high at 19 mate unless you got some medical issue.

Get the test kits, thats a good start or visit the Dr and talk about this issue with him for more advice.

I had a growth spurt when I was 20-21 so you may be the same but please dont do anything stupid with supplements.

What is your age, if I may ask?

What such charts describe as "normal", is as far off as that BathmateI BS they have people believing in. I am 50 and your levels would be normal for a guy my age, I suppose. But with so much learned about test replacement etc, unless you have prostate issues, I would not be happy with such low levels. In fact, I'd be suicidal. I wanna be closer to 800 (like when we were 25 and our bodies started cheating us thereafter) See your endo and ask him if hormone replacement therapy is right for you. Combined with HGH, HRT is the fountain of youth. I know this and seldom stay at Holiday Inns. :)

I think that my testosterone level is low. I have heard that if you can increase your T. level then you can increase the size of your penis more & much faster. Is it true?<:(<:(
