DHEA will only convert to androgens, Testosterone / Estrogen. It has benefits, but I wouldn’t include DHT in the list.
Here’s the pathway:
DHEA -> Testosterone -> 5ar -> DHT
So even if DHEA results in increase Testosterone, the fact that we have 5ar issues in PFS could mean the odds of the DHEA actually ending up as DHT is remote.
If you want higher DHT, Dr. Goldstein is recommending to PFS patients to use Andractim, it’s a topical DHT Cream. No prescription required, but you have to order it online unless you live in Cyprus. It takes about 2 weeks to ship to the US.
Or you can try AlphaHard. These are the only two options I’ve ever found to be available.
