Re:  DHEA and androstenedione


Before the whole herd jumps on to the DHEA bandwagon,  be forwarned that
DHEA when used in women is metabolized largely to androstenedione and then
to TESTOSTERONE, and only a small amount is subsequently metabolized to
Estrogen.

So if you guys want to walk around with big biceps, HAIRY FACES, and
spitting tobacco on the sidewalk... I would be a little more circumspect
about its use.  Although it is dose related, and the amount you get from
most food stores may not produce major androgenic changes,  it may occur in
more sensitive individuals.

So go to it 'guys'.
