668044 tn?1225913014 I take One A Day Prenatal with DHA/EPA. The box (for $13) comes with one bottle of 30 prenatals and a bottle of 30 DHA/EPA pills. I have been taking them together through my pregnancy. My OB recommended them if the ones she prescribed didn't work out (they gave me a stomach ache so I went with One A Day). I have heard nothing but good things! I recommend them!
Business woman1 Hi! If you were my patient, I would recommend seeing a fertility specialist now. I would NOT use DHEA (without a doctor's supervision) and I WOULD encourage DHA. A fertility specialist should check to see if you are ovulating regularly, if your tubes are open and if your partner has sufficient sperm/quality. Don't wait, your fertility is not getting better!
178239 tn?1277405491 I posted this on the fertility forum yesterday and thought a lot of ladies over her might be interested, too. I decided even though my FSH is still good at 7, I am going to try the DHEA route. I have talked to many ladies that have had terrific results with it. Most buy theirs at DHEA *******. There is a difference between pharmacy grade vs vitamin stores from what I have been told. Yesterday's post follows: I have taken a serious interest in DHEA.

Avatar f tn i don't remember my research on this fully, but i do recall that plant derived ALA's are not biologically equivalent to marine derived DHA. i take fish oil supplementation for DHA. the only concern there is impurities like mercury present in the fish oil - there are brands that make DHA capsules that have been purified for this purpose. some brands will even go as far to source their oils from the purest fish and highest standards, so that purification isn't even necessary.
1192727 tn?1282735542 It is found in cold water fatty fish and fish oil supplements, along with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Vegetarian sources of DHA come from seaweed. DHA is essential for the proper functioning of our brains as adults, and for the development of our nervous system and visual abilities during the first 6 months of life. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids are part of a healthy diet that helps lower risk of heart disease.
Avatar f tn If I take the one with no DHA is it ok to takr Advocare Omega Plex supplement on the side? Or should I take the vitamin with DHA and take iron on the side? These have me confused!
Avatar f tn This is from the Mayo Clinic website: "There is sufficient evidence supporting the use of DHEA in the treatment of adrenal insufficiency, depression, induction of labor, and systemic lupus erythematosus. No studies on the long-term effects of DHEA have been conducted. DHEA can cause higher than normal levels of androgens and estrogens in the body, and theoretically may increase the risk of prostate, breast, ovarian, and other hormone-sensitive cancers.

Avatar f tn Has anyone had experience using DHEA as a supplement? I just met with my RE today, and she's not opposed to it. I'm wondering how long I should take it before trying IUI or IVF. My AMH is .01, but FSH and E2 are normal....we're going to try one cycle with Antagon and IUI and see how I respond. What I've read online about DHEA is hopeful.
Avatar m tn Levels used in therapy to lower blood triglycerides, also a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, are higher, about 2-4 grams of combined EPA and DHA per day. The OSU studies with mice used DHA at levels comparable to the triglyceride therapies. "DHA was more effective than EPA at attenuating inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis and hepatic damage," the researchers wrote in their conclusion.

Avatar n tn Such a condition can likely result from the ingestion of an over the counter supplement called DHEA, or a similar "safer" one called 7-keto DHEA. I also was 26 when I started taking 7-keto for athletic performance. Several months later I developed several problems including the right side of my thyroid's being enlarged. Also I have other unpleasant side effects. I am now 27 and had my thyroid ultrasound done recently.

944903 tn?1269268918 I had my DHEA sulfate levels measured in June and they were below the limits of the lab (<15 for a range of 32-240) and my free testosterone was almost 0 (both results point to a probable adrenals problem), I took no medication (I was working on stabilizing my thyroid first)... and I got pregnant in August! So not sure if all of these specific hormone levels really matter!
628735 tn?1273875777 I read in an ADHD magazine today that new studies say that a supplement that is higher in Eph than Dha seems to show more results. Has anyone else read about this?

138239 tn?1239924924 my blood work showed my DHEA 78 & normal is between 102-1185, when asked doctor about this she didn't know why, thought there was a supplement for this.
