What people say about DHEA and energy
“DHEA, minimum 50 mg was a huge game changer for my wife. More energy, libido, dopamine/happy mood, concentration- everything.”
“Once I started taking dhea...I felt significantly better. It raises T, has positive effects on both gaba and dopamine.”
“I almost instantly felt awake and I stayed that way all day. Even the 3-4pm slump, which is a daily struggle that I sometimes cannot win, had no impact on me.”
“I've been taking 100 mg of DHEA daily for about half a week. I have noticed a significant improvement in my mood and energy levels.”
