DHEA + TA for testosterone control

Original post in this thread

sanchicharro · 8 points

Hi there,

I was tested low free test a few months ago. Doctor prescribed me 25 mg DHEA 5 on 2 off (weekdays) and I thoght it would be a good idea to stack it with Tongkat Ali.

I started with 1 tab 5 on 2 off but moved to 2 capsules daily. My libido went thru the roof and my lifts have been improving at an incredible rate (sp. squats).

Sadly it seems like I started to develop dry skin and sore elbows + knees and I think it is because TA is lowering my estrogen too much.

I'm torn between these 2 options:

1. Up my DHEA dosage to 50 mg to see if it also raises my estrogen.
2. Stop taking TA until sides disappear and then start taking it again until the sides are noticeable.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried DHEA without tongkat, or have you always been on tongkat while on the DHEA?

Is ND done launching new products?

We are absolutely NOT done with new products. We are in the thick of development for a bunch of them. Some of them are just taking longer than expected to get perfect, so we have had a lull in releases. That's just becau

Sigma - New supplement containing Tongkat Ali made in collaboration with A.Huberman.

There are so many bullshit tongkats on the market now, especially after Huberman went on Rogan. I am just going to be very direct here, as I no longer have the time nor the energy for bullshit. Anyone selling a 200:1 ton
