A member asked:
I was wondering is dhea safe for a 17 year old male?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do not recommend: Dhea is a hormone normally produced by adrenal glands. Pharmacologic dosing in a adolescent male may lead to unacceptable side effects like small testes, aggressive behavior, and acne. Furthermore, having this substance in your body will make you ineligible to participate in organized sports where drug testing is performed.
