What people say about DHEA and sleep
“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.”
“DHEA might help also. I sleep very deep and have vivid dreams on it. I take 25mg an hour before bed.”
“I'd start with dhea, zinc and ashwagandha root at night. I've had my wife running this for a couple of months now and she's sleeping better at night and feeling better during the day.”
“DHEA was probably the most helpful supplement at the time. Couldn't hurt to try. I remember it restored my energy and enthusiasm to stay clean.”
