DHEA tablets - Does anyone know anything about them?

[LatenightOwl]

Has anyone heard of Dhea tablets and has anyone had success with them? I found info on the following site

www.ivfworld.com/board.php

and was wondering if anyone else has experiences of this vitamin/tablet?
thanks

Yes I have and I'd advise you to steer well clear of it.

Why do you want to take this in any event?.

Much of the popular and scientific interest in DHEA stems from our culture's emphasis on youth. If levels of this hormone decline with age, the thinking goes, we could avoid the health problems that accompany aging or even extend our lifespan by keeping DHEA levels high. Many people are already taking DHEA just in case this turns out to be true. That wouldn't be a problem if this substance were as safe as vitamin C. But as a potent steroid hormone, DHEA has the potential for far-reaching side effects throughout the body.

Hi Attila
just researching at the moment as I have read different views and not sure if these were from the States or another country rather than comments from the UK. Sounds like you have had some experience/ or heard about people on them? On another bulletin board it was suggesting that DHEA improved egg quality. Im always unsure about this as so many factors rely on good egg production. But any more info would be interesting.
