Because DHEA has so many beneficial effects of its own, everyone over age 50 should have a DHEA blood
level exam done at some point. If the
level is low, you should supplement with 10 mg. of DHEA and get tested again in about three weeks. If it is
still low, increase the dose by another 10 mg. and get tested again. Once it is back in the normal range, stop there since excessive use of higher doses can lead to problems.
