Question 1

taking prenatal vitamins with dha and my dhea results came back high and also my progrestrone is high can i still get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Probably: DHA stands for decosa hexaanoic acid and is not related to di hydro epi androsterone. As long as you have regular cycles i don't see why you should not be able to get pregnant. Has your partner had a semen analysis, though?

Question 2

my son is turning 8 months old he drink s26 gold. may i ask. what is the difference between s 26 gold and similac gain. which one do you recommend with high in dha and good for immunity?

Accepted Answer

: Similac gain has a combination of Vitamin E and DHA. S26 Gold is a complete formula. There is natural development of the immune system, good hand washing and an infant probiotic may be helpful. Please discuss with your Pediatrician.

Question 3

what is the recommended dosage for fish oil supplements? what is the difference between omega-3 fish oil dha and fish oil? what are side effects if any? can you take these if you take d3, amlodipine 5mg as needed and norethindrone 0.35 birth control?

Accepted Answer

: Too many questions here to answer within the 400 character limits. Having said that, omega-3 fatty acids do show multiple cardiovascular and metabolic effects. The FDA advises the general population not to exceed  3g per day of EPA and DHA combined, with up to 2g per day from dietary supplements, Without the guidance of a clinician. You should see your doctor for more detailed advice. Good luck.

Question 4

what are the differences between dht and dhea?

Accepted Answer

Different hormones: Dhea is a precursor hormone to testosterone and estrogen. Dht stands for dihydrotestosterone and is made from testosterone and mediates some of its affects. It acts on certain receptors causing hair growth, muscle mass and sperm production in men.

Question 5

for checking my adrenal health, should i test my dhea or dhea-s level? what are the differences? or should i test both? i am male

Accepted Answer

Multiple: Dhea s, pregnenalone, testosterone, am/pm cortisol and thyroid function are all possible tests.

Question 6

are dhea and androsterone the same? if not, what are the differences?

Accepted Answer

: Dihydroxyepiandrosterone is the chemical name for androsterone. It is often abbreviated and cited using the initials DHEA.

Question 7

what are the differences between dhea and 7-keto?

Accepted Answer

The branding...: These 2 compounds are basically similar; and some even come in the same formulation/powder; so you can make shakes from it to enhance your workouts.  Companies like twin-labs; now foods, etc. All have their own...And my sage advice on questions like this is let the buyer beware!  always ask your doctor before starting any new medication/supplement!

Question 8

i used dhea (25mg/d) for the last week for exercise and libido but have decided to stop. what are the chances i've caused any prostate probl ? i'm 30.

Accepted Answer

Not much: Dhea's effect to prostate is marginal, especially if only used for a short period of time.

Question 9

im taking 50mg of dhea ever other day to improve erection quality, i'd like to start taking lysine. will lysine interfere with the conversion of dhea?

Accepted Answer

Don't take either: Dhea is also converted to estrogen. Do you think that will help your erection? Why are you taking that junk? Eat better and exercise and stop poisoning your body.

Question 10

do dhea levels decrease with age?

Accepted Answer

Yes: In women dhea peaks after the 20s and slowly declines. In premenopausal women dhea is made 50/50 in the ovary and adrenal glands. Blood levels measure contributions from both. But there is a wide overlap of "normal" values at different times of day as       well as at different ages and sexes.
