    Default DHEA

    DHEA has long been purported to increase testosterone and muscle mass in bodybuilders but studies show that’s not the case. DHEA doesn’t have any effect on testosterone and will not increase gains from a resistance training program. A few studies do show mild cognitive benefits in older individuals while many other studies show no benefit, so the evidence for older adults is inconclusive.

    DHEA has given me gyno symptoms every time I have used it. I would do blood labs before I would consider using it again and ONLY if my levels were low.

    It is very odd. Its happened numerous times I've tried it. I'm not even gyno prone on even the heaviest AAS cycles.

    The reason for that is because DHEA is aptly called the "mother" of all hormones (or father if you want to go that way). It can convert to both testosterone and to estrogen. Depending on your body's feedback, you're going to get more of one than the other.
