Have a friend who just turned 51 and he is jacked. He has been this way for the past 13 years I have known him. His size and definition has never fluctuated which leads me to believe he is really "oh naturale".
Asked him, what is your secrect and he plainly said. " I take 25mg of DHEa three times a day" I know genetics has a lot to do with it but come on? Never used it before, but now being it my 40's is it worth the look? What is the reccommended dosage and what is the effective dosage. |

That said, I tried DHEA for a short time. I felt more of a difference with Tribulus. I didn't use it very long though. |

Considering theres nothing out there that links DHEA and muscular health, it actually does have something to do with what he asked... |

So wrong.....this information from the exact same website you linked to earlier. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16787962 DHEA enhances effects of weight training on muscle mass and strength in elderly women and men. Villareal DT, Holloszy JO. Division of Geriatrics and Nutritional Science, Department of Internal Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri 63110, USA. Abstract The plasma levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfated form (DHEAS) decline approximately 80% between the ages of 25 and 75 yr. Muscle mass and strength also decrease with aging. Published data on the effects of DHEA replacement on muscle mass and strength are conflicting. The goals of this study were to determine whether DHEA replacement increases muscle mass and strength and/or enhances the effects of heavy resistance exercise in elderly women and men. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the effects of 10 mo of DHEA replacement therapy with the addition of weightlifting exercise training during the last 4 mo of the study (DHEA + exercise group, n = 29; placebo + exercise group, n = 27). DHEA alone for 6 mo did not significantly increase strength or thigh muscle volume. However, DHEA therapy potentiated the effect of 4 mo of weightlifting training on muscle strength, evaluated by means of one-repetition maximum measurement and Cybex dynamometry, and on thigh muscle volume, measured by magnetic resonance imaging. Serum insulin-like growth factor concentration increased in response to DHEA replacement. This study provides evidence that DHEA replacement has the beneficial effect of enhancing the increases in muscle mass and strength induced by heavy resistance exercise in elderly individuals. |

Read that and thought about putting it but its still not significant considering youre not between the ages of 50 and 80. And heres the kicker...at that age you lose a lot of different hormones in your body, thats why we as humans have muscular and skeletal decline. So yes it will help you if youre that age, but so will a lot of different things including just some sort of resistance training. You specifically most likely wont see any change. |
