Q: can i supplement dhea to help with libido while on birth control?

: Since supplements are not investigated by the FDA, we can't vouch for purity from contaminants, proper dosing or claims of efficacy. However, some evidence shows that birth control meds can lower the body's dhea levels &amp; some believe that supplements of dhea may increase libido.
