DHEA is a precursor hormone that converts to testosterone or estrogen. Common effects include:

  • Energy and Mood Boost: Often noticeable within a few weeks.
  • Libido Improvement: Particularly in women with low androgen levels.
  • Potential Side Effects: Acne, hair changes, or increased estrogenic symptoms if the dose is too high.

Start with a low dose (5-10 mg/day) and monitor symptoms and levels regularly.
