Overview

DHEA supplementation is primarily known for its potential to increase estrogen and androgen levels. However, its impact on muscle strength, size, fat loss, and sexual function, particularly in older men, is not well established. Some studies suggest minor improvements in body composition changes and possible improvements in postmenopausal symptoms, but the overall effects are inconsistent and often minimal.

The Good

May improve postmenopausal symptoms through increased estrogen levels.

May moderately increase testosterone levels in both men and women, but not as effectively as direct androgen supplementation.

May play a role in supporting adrenal function.

The Bad

May cause hormonal imbalances, including increased estrogen and testosterone levels.

Potential for androgenic side effects such as acne, hair loss, and facial hair growth in women.

Possible cardiovascular risks, including reduced HDL cholesterol levels.
