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'.
