In April I had the bloodwork redone and charted the two differences. Then I added DHEA. Steven Cherniske stated that the DHEA levels in the body will naturally increase with the use of two supplements he recommended. B6 and Chromium. At the 2nd testing in April, my DHEA had gone from 195 to 221 (which is still deficient for me). In August or Sept I will retest.
Today is Nov 8, 2007. In April after my second test I began taking 25 mg of DHEA at night and 25mg of 7-keto DHEA in the morning. My test in Sept 07 put my DHEA level at 622. The range for a male in the prime peak of life (about 25 yrs of age) is 450-600 mcg/dL. So I've now cut my DHEA in half and will test again in April.
