What people say about DHEA and mood
“DHEA, minimum 50 mg was a huge game changer for my wife. More energy, libido, dopamine/happy mood, concentration- everything.”
“I started off with like 25mg and have upped it over time to like 150mg now... I’m usually more assertive as well, similar to Tribulus but it actually helps me sleep.”
“Once I started taking dhea...I felt significantly better. It raises T, has positive effects on both gaba and dopamine.”
“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.”
