A member asked:

Does transdermal 7 keto dhea change hormone levels in your body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Why are you taking dhea. It is metabolized to estrogen, cortisone or testosterone, and you can't control which it's converted to. It is not recommended therapy for any medical condition and may be harmful.
