A member asked:
Should i take a dhea supplement and along with my co q-10, magnesium, potassium, and niacin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A healthy 20 yo male should not be on any supplements that have not been proven to treat or prevent anything, in this stage and age we try to practice evidence based medicine and none of the supplements mentioned have been proven to provide any benefit. You need a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet, any multivitamin (maybe) and plenty of exercise. There are no shortcuts (unfortunately).
