- CHR's doctors have experience treating thousands of women with DHEA and have found few side effects related to its use. In this video, Dr. Gleicher discusses those side effects, and why you should speak with your physician before supplementing on your own. Learn more about DHEA by visiting our website: bit.ly/2Qtslia

It got rid of my fatigue immediately. Within hours of my first dose. I know elderly women who have been taking it for decades. If your DHEA levels are low, there’s no reason to stop taking it! Most doctors don’t bother to check DHEA levels in blood work when patients complain of fatigue! The only Doctor who did this for me was a functional doctor. The conventional medical community is terribly incompetent in so many ways.
Yep...my doctor do both and say that my levels were low as well.
The part with the side effects starts at 3:12
Thanks!
I've been taking it for twenty years, since menopause and you don't need to talk with a doctor about it, just get it and figure out the dose that's right for you. It's super easy!
are you prescribed it or do you take an over the counter?
@@aaronb6013 I order it from Amazon. I get "Pure" brand DHEA. Micronized, 25mg. I take four of them every day. Three or four is perfectly okay but only if you're a postmenopausal woman or a man over sixty.
Thank you so much for the reply, I am 49 but went thru menopause about 5 years ago..I am hoping DHEA helps
@@aaronb6013 If you've gone through menopause then I'd start with 50mgs per day. If your skin breaks out back off to 25. If you don't feel any difference at all, go up 25mg. It's pretty easy to figure out what's the best dosage. Also, get "Pure" brand. Most DHEA brands have little to no DHEA in them.
@@LisaMurphy thank you so much for the help!!
My Nurse practitioner prescribed it, and I'm in menopause, its been a great help.
After watching this video I asked my doctor if I could take DHEA ( 25mg 3 times a day for 2 months )to help me produce more eggs since 8 eggs (each) were retrieved in my 2 previous IVF circles .my 3rd circle (DHEA circle ) 12 eggs where retrieved. Thanks to CHR
Amazing! We are so happy to learn of this success!
Could you counter act the oily skin or breaking out with chlorophyll?
Would really like to know is it beneficial to woman over 55 whom had oophorectomy with 25mg doses?
I get classical migraines w/ aura. I typically get a migraine just before i started my period. And when i was pregnant. I was told my migraines may lessen after menopause. I tried 25 MG DHEA, I got migraine after I took it so I stopped. Then I cut tablet in half, still got migraines. I then cut the half in half, so it's a quarter tablet. I now do this once a week, no headache.
Yes, it must b used with great caution.

Thank you for your advice
I been taking dhea for a few years. At 58 I'm more of a tiger than I've ever been. And packing on muscle in the gym and losing fat easier
@danatrapanier how is your hair, no los?
Any hair los?
@danatrepanier
What dosage??
Musio Sanchez he is 56 his heart has long wince been miniaturized
Hello! How long before the IVF procedure should you start taking DHEA to get high-quality eggs and a large number of them? Since I have multiple uterine fibroids, will taking DHEA hurt me? What should be the dosage of DHEA per day? Thanks.
I just started DHEA (Natrol, 25mg once per day) supplementation a week ago. I am quite healthy and pay attention to what my body is doing/reporting/responding to. It is too early for any definitive analysis, but I have slept soundly the last three nights without using Benadryl and Tylenol to help. That's a record :), as I have used them as sleep aids for years. I also feel more settled in my mind. Less stress, if that makes sense. As for the 25mg dose - I learned over the last few years that less is almost always best, so 25mg is fine with me. You want to use small doses and give your body time to respond.
you need more dhea like 25 mg twice a day for it to work.
@@ginoblack970 why? I didn't see anywhere on the label and mostly recommended is once per day
DHEA =ACNE...... Start 5 mg a day
@garlickman its available as a over the counter suppliment almost in every country
I have used the same brand but the 50 mg to help me feel better with mood swings before my period. Absolutley, it reduces my stress and lets me feel better. I DONT know its side effects as I just use it twice or three times or whenever I feel down or overwhlemed.
My AMH is low (0.22) and follicles also in low count
Can i take dhea?
I took DHEA 3 months before starting my second egg retrieval (icsi), because first round I didn't got so many eggs and my DHEA-S +testosterone levels were low. I had so much faith that DHEA would help, but my second retrieval was worse. I mean, I can't say if it was because of DHEA or because I was one year older ...or maybe because the protocol slightly changed- but I also didn't felt so well taking DHEA; I got greasy hair, acne and more sweating 😳. I feel bummed after this second round and regret taking DHEA. It's true, we got one more egg than last time, but one embryo less and all 3 are 6-day low quality. Last time, without dhea, we had 4 5-day excellent quality (one miscarriage, one cp, 2 still frozen).
Thanks for sharing your experience
Based on those symptoms it sounds like you were taking too much
@@BigDogHaver I was actually taking a lower dose than usually recommended. They normally recommend 75mg/ day and I only took 50mg/day. I'm not saying it doesn't help at all, but in my case, it didn't and I would highly recommend to consult with the RE before taking DHEA.
Did you finaly conceived?
@@AminaAmina-cp9hg yes-but not with dhea, I didn't kept taking it.
Thank you doctor I hope you can awnser my question as my doctor prescribed 7keto dhea for me but to take it at morning I already take natural desiccated thyroid. For my thyroid.
I take low dose naltrexon at night.
Now I feel like my thyroid is affected. Thick throat and thick head. I've heard that dhea is made from either soya or yam. Now I'm not supposed to take any soya products. Could the dhea be affecting my thyroid?
7keto is something else
can you take this with high blood pressure that is normally controlled with medication?
Im not a doctor but im on that and i was prescribed dhea micro dose it shouldn't affect anything because it is natural to the body..it hadn't given me no issues thus far.
I like this doctor !🎉😊
My side effect was the feeling of drinking too much caffeine, so my doctor lowered the dose.
what was the milligram dosage of the one you took before your doctor lowered it and what did he lower it to? Thanks.
Great explanation
But is the production of DHEA related to biological clock meaning decrease according to pre fixed genetic program? Thanks

What are the long term side effects?
Solid video 👍🏽. I just watched another video by a Dr, a power point presentation. The research was saying that when taking DHEA orally that most of it gets converted to DHEA-S (S for sulphate if I recall correctly). She stated that sublingual, transdermal or submucosal are much better for effective administration. Well I just ordered capsules lol. I’m hoping that if I empty the contents and leave them in sublingually for several minutes will significantly increase absolutely. I’m taking them because I’m a late 30s male and want to lose fat, gain or maintain muscle and increase testosterone etc.
We plan to film a video about DHEA for male patients. Stay tuned. Good luck and be well!
Well, I found capsules much more effective. Transdermal makes the skin nicer when you are getting older.
@@CenterforHumanReproduction sir please make a video on DHEA for male
I have a question....how long can regular healthy 28/29 day cycles go on???......I am over age 54.
I am definitely not a doctor, but in my own personal experience and from talking to many other DHEA supplement users, 25mg. a day is the best and safest daily maintenance dose. And not to ever exceed 50mg. a day of DHEA. This goes for male or female. If you exceed 50mg. a day you will get alot more negative side effects, and the negative side effects will out weight the health benefits. Hope this helped.
@@razoredge6476 you are right on.
@@razoredge6476 belive that.
@Deirdre Morris I'm on day 3 @25mg, looking for info on this as I am getting nasal congestion and now feeling like I have a cold and I never get sick. I have very low DHEA so I am surprised. Going to does every other day because I went from feeling like death to almost normal over night.
Can DHEA help with hormonal acne? I heard it converts to whatever androgen or estrogens you are more deficient of to balance hormones.
DHEA would likely make your acne worse. If you have acne you probably don't need DHEA.
@@LisaMurphy It freaking sucks, it doesnt matter what I do i still have it, i eat literally zero junk food, drink a gallon of water daily, exercise daily, shower after excercise, wash my pillowcase weekly, like wtf
@@scycosnake3964 What would probably cure you (if you're a woman) is to get onto a progesterone based birth control patch or pill. That would lower your estrogen and testosterone. Another alternative would be to cut down on all animal products and eat more cruciferous veggies. Also, add sea kelp to your diet.
@@LisaMurphy What should I do if Im a guy
@@scycosnake3964 Cut out all animal meat and milk, cheese, butter completely. No ice cream either. No dairy at all. That will lower the hormones that are giving you acne. Don't eat any processed or packaged foods like potato chips. Take a sea kelp supplement daily. If you're overweight try and lose it. This should help enormously. Also, wipe your face every three hours or four with witch hazel or rubbing alcohol. It's easy, keep the witch hazel and tissue handy so you can do it a lot. You will improve greatly.
I have swallon eyes n skin allergy after start taking DHEA. Should I continue or stop from taking DHEA. I need tht to help in egg growth before egg collection. Advise me.
What was the dosage you took? Your body definetly reacts to tell you that something wrong does exist. You should either reduce the dose if this still continues stop it immediately and seek medical advisce. Skin allergy is not easy to treat.
Can dhea benefit in premature ovarian aging fsh 100 amh 0.1
goto doctor
Inn Sha Allah.
It helps with dry skin and dry hair
What about hormonal acne?
Does anyone have information on resources on how to safely taper off of DHEA?
No need
why you taper off?
@@realAamirShahzad There is most certainly a need. My adrenals were injured with prednisone therapy and no longer produce adequate cortisol. DHEA replaces the effects cortisol while my adrenals heal. Therefore, a taper down is necessary.
@@ryanhikes14ers thanks for explaining that
YES STOP COLD TURKEY..NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT
Does DHEA affect FSH level and how much time does it take to affect egg quality as my AMH is very lowww...As I am taking it 3 times a day as I have Premature Ovarian Insuffiency...please reply
Hi! I was diagnosed with POF and found out it was my thyroid - my tsh was 4.76 I treated it with armour thyroid and all symptoms went away...get your thyroid checked. Done accept anything higher than 2.5tsh
Does that work did you check your dhea test
It did not improve my IVf cycles.
Super informatie ! DHEA is a very important hormone ; its great against ----burn out , - dry skin - insomnia- mental diseases -low energie -depressions- alzheimer- parkinson and many other diseases and dis balances. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yaaa! For a bunch of those. Sounds like a wonder helper. Burn out hard to find help with that
Is dhea lowered in everyday pain(opiate) patients? Would dhea be a good idea if your on pain management medicine?
My very conservative MD recommend it to me and reported he used it daily. I am on long term chronic pain opioids (10-325 Norco generic) he even suggested I might have chronic inflammation reduction with DHEA morning and Tribilis in the evening.
Can one take dhea with adrenal tiredness after stress. ? Im 47 yrs just with 28 day cycle
DHEA shouldn't be taken till after menopause, unless there's something wrong with your ovaries, or you've had them removed.
Sir Dhea is also good for men ?
DAH IT'S MEANT FOR MEN NOT WOMEN, BUT WOMEN CAN TAKE SMALL DOSES
How about for men
I will start DHEA. I'm post menopausal. I'm not sure yet the effects (negative). I'm hoping it helps with my very dry skin. In the Philippines, this is is sold otc as a supplement.
Check your gut health. Probiotics from kefir and kombucha
I would love to know how this works for you. I just started dhea bc I cant take estrogen replacement.
I started dhea for hot flashes and it works great!!
@@deannasanders2851 I cannot tolerate estrogen either. However, I began using the OTC topical estriol (NOT estradiol, it’s the other estrogen, which has had no side effects for me. Helped me with vag atrophy & sudden & constant UTI’s after having my ovaries removed. OTC brand “Mothers Dose” with ingredient ESTRIOL (They also have estrogen, so i look specifically for the word estriol (vs estrogen or estradiol)
I read where you shouldn't take it if Prostate Cancer runs in your family.......anyone else hear this also?
Should a 40yr old woman with high AMH take DHEA for egg quality? I’ve read that CHR suggests all women over 40, but what about if they have a normal to high AMH?
AMH has nothing to do with egg quality. All AMH levels tell you is how many potential egg cells you may have.
No if it's high in PCOS range you have enough or too much androgens already
Help please… I’m 43 female, started a TRT dose cypionate .05/1x wk along with DHEA 10mg/daily (I also have an IUD as form of birth control). Never had a huge problem with acne until 2 weeks into supplementing with TRT and DHEA. Love the way I feel on TRT but the acne is KILLING ME 😭. I know I could lower my dosage of each but feel like I’m already at a super low dose. Anyone have any suggestions on how to remedy the acne? Is lowering my dose the only solution? THANK YOU to anyone who replies!!!
Lower it.
It's going forth.
I like dhea very much, it builds also more muscle, one negative side effect that i've experienced was hair loss with above 25mg of use
YOU GOT HAIR LOSS FROM OTHER REASONS NOT DHEA
No, I got hair loss after increasing the dose
Dude it doesnt build muscle
@@Rimo2024 WRONG..ALL MEN HAIR RECEEDS AS WE AGE, I STARTED AT 25
I noticed increased hair growth when taking 50mg of dhea
Does over the counter dhea help ?
Theres dhea and dhea-s (sulfate) which is the kind that floats around in the blood after being converted. Dhea-s is a prescription if im correct but regular dhea is all the same. So as long as its a reputable source from any rite aid or health store its going to do the same thing.
Will it lower testosterone levels if I stop using ?
No
Your levels will return to how they were prior to supplementation
This supplement help my PCOS I got my period back
Omg yay, I'm getting mine today 🤞🏾😅
👏🏾👏🏾

side effect of dhea in men?
Is there a supplement that stops DHEA producing oestrogen
Dim
Progesterone
Natures plus 12.5 mg. Spray.
Just started using it.
I wish he said ‘vee have vayz of making you talk’
Can you do one on how dhea affects men?
Precisely. Once again, another video geared more toward women. I'd also like to find out if it may interfere with antidepressants/ mood stabilizer, vitamins or other supplements.
I thought the same. I guess it's all about the ladies. Heaven forbid men get mentioned. Smh
From what i search about DHEA, it's not very useful for men since it has very low affinity on androgen receptors. I am also searching DHEA for my mom. She entered menopause a year ago and she have some trouble with focusing on a subject, tiredness etc.
@@talhaemirdemirgan3420 dhea is very useful for men. I’m currently taking countrylife dhea for men I totally feel a difference in a good way it’s very effective . They have dhea for women as well. www.countrylifevitamins.com/product/dhea-complex-for-men/variation-60-capsules/
@@cardelljermaine76 Glad to hear that man. Hope it works for you all the time. Do you think DHEA is useful for men to boosting testosterone ? I am 25 years old and not really have a problem with my hormones but i am lifting so it would be awesome to have a little bit of more testosterone 😁
So it's just for women?
100mg of dhea 7 days on 14 days off
Can people on anti depression pills use it ?
Yes, there are no contraindications, it’s a hormone found in the body, thus if there was an interaction, it would already be happening.
Can we take dhea for life.
YES
Dr. Jones now you see what was once yours is now again miine 😅
You think he sounds like Beloche?
Can pcos patiets use DHEA
Misbah Umair yes .. it fix my PCOS
I’ve read that PCOS patient shouldn’t take DHEA as these women usually have to much testosterone
Depends of the type of pcos. You can have pcos with low androgens
Are any women experiencing reproductive issues specifically after taking these v@cclnes?
Can it be taken every day or in cycles?
Not sure if you care any more, but really this would depend on you and your body, so for example, if your over 40 you could probably do as many people say here a 25mg dosage indefinitely, however if your so what an enthusiast trying to get extra results from training, you could go to 100mg, however you would want to limit how long you do this for, as always time on = time off, currently around me i see people do all sort of stuff but most common 6months-1year on, followed by the same time off, other people who just take it with no testing knowledge which I DO NOT RECOMMEND, do 1 month on and 1 month off, this is probably the safest, if your just eye balling it, as always listen to your body! Talk to your doctor, otherwise good luck.
@@CrystlizeWorld Thanks for the well thought out response.
@@joebrown6768 Starting at smaller dose is better.. For now I experience mild headache with dhea 25mg.. I will try to cycle it..

REALLY, IT TUCKED YOU INTO BED...WHICH BRAND DOES THAT, I NEED ONE THAT I CAN CUDDLE WITH
Yep, just started taking it (10mg a a day) and made my head foggy then slept for hours ! bit like caffeine withdrawal.
Im taking it to help with brain fog/better mood 🤔
Hello, did your tiredness settle down? Did it make you sleepy or groggy during the day?
@@swild3634 I took a nap a day or two after taking it. Felt great got rest. Hadn’t napped in a long time. Right after taking a energy drink. Like norm t try and get stuff done took a nap instead as if taking a nap is what I needed. It was great. Couple days In and am noticing I feeling alot better all around !
@@carolina6683 seems to give over all energy but also make you want to rest so far
Headaches
I get head ache too
I consume vitamin D and cholesterol. I avoid other steroids. Funny that way.
I'm the same way, however I have hardly any facial hair and not a lot of muscle mass at 27 y.o. I was a late bloomer and wanted to jumpstart my peak testosterone period I made the mistake of trying DHEA without doctors consultation, and I only used took 25 mg, about 5-6 times over the last few years. I experienced weigh gain in the waist, thighs, and have some breast tissue developing over one of my pectorals. at my age, I did not need DHEA replenishment. Do NOT take this unless you're over 40. it can have irreversible effects
So it's totally safe and legal but you need to pay a dr. to tell you you can try it 😂 I like how he starts explaining why you need a Dr. But then doesn't give a reaolson. So pompous
