You really only need it if you are middle aged. It can cause some estrogen also. I would get my money back if I were you.

^^That.

DHEA is a precursor to Testosterone.  taking supplemental DHEA will only boost your T if your body is convinced it needs it, and even then, you still have to stimulate the leutienizing (sp?) hormone that converts it into T proper.  One way of stimulating LH is to supplement with Tribulis Terrestris -which is why you so often see Trib and DHEA in the same formulation.

Unless you're over 40 and your body's own natural test production has started to taper off, DHEA is not going to net you any fireworks.  Think of it as a job site.  Just because you have a team of builders who can knock out an entire house in three months, it doesn't mean they can knock out three in the same timeframe just because you give them all the raw materials.  The need a reason to do the extra work.

My home away from DBB

And, as a general rule, don't buy anything unless you know what it is, what it does, any side effects it may cause, etc.

dude just get some Testradex by CTD labs if you want a natural test booster.

or just use some novadex xt by gaspari and tapper off it ie 3/2/2/1 (how many each night)
