Superior LabsExtra Strength Natural DHEA – Non-GMO 100 mg Dose, 60 Vegetable Capsules – Promotes Healthy Aging in Men & Women – Helps Restores Youthful Energy Levels

I dictated my first attempt at a review and it didn't turn out all that great, nor did amazon appear to post it, so this is my second go:With a product like DHEA, it can be hard to assess the effects compared across brands, but I selected one on the recommendation of people that I trust to know what they are talking about, and I could not be happier with that choice. In fact, I just reordered. The company is superb, has a fantastic reputation and, rather than selling every supplement known to man, focuses on DHEA and related/quasi-similar products. This was an important factor for me. Below, I present some research and then describe my own experience.I need to make it absolutely clear at the outset that I AM NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR AND ANYTHING I SAY SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED, OR RELIED UPON, IN ANY WAY, AS MEDICAL ADVICE, and should even regarded as incomplete, untrue or even misleading until you choose to verify these claims with a qualified and properly certified professional. With that said, I did a lot of research on DHEA before deciding to take it, focusing on clinical studies and academic papers available on Google scholar (and pub med). In the majority of what I read, the effects of DHEA improved male functioning on several levels and (at least to some degree) had pronounced and noticeable effect, especially in “older" men (as defined as mid-20s and up; sorry guys but you are old). Documented effects include greater energy, improved mood, improved cognitive functioning, greater motivation, sexual benefits, and others that escape me right now as it has been a while. From a subjective standpoint, I experienced virtually all of the benefits listed above and DHEA has certainly improved my life and general outlook considerably. I am in my late 30s and, at times, previously experienced symptoms similar to those of mild depression, such as a lack of motivation, increased fatigue, mental “fogginess,” problems with sleep, decreased libido, a pronounced lack of motivation in many aspects of my life, a more negative mood and pessimistic outlook, and some others as well. Many doctors, let alone lay people, are unaware that the symptoms of mild depression mirror those associated with low androgen levels, and the latter can often be the culprit. DHEA supplementation returned me to normal (or close to normal) within 2-3 weeks. [I am NOT suggesting that those suffering severe or worrying symptoms should not seek psychiatric care or request a full hormone panel from your GP]As mentioned, I just reordered and plan to take this product indefinitely, especially given the dramatic drop in DHEA levels following one’s very early 20s. I wish I had started at roughly the age when endogenous levels plummet, but better late than never.There is also evidence that DHEA plays an important role in the human body with respect to the proper/more optimal functioning of various body systems (even on the cellar level), and while not subjectively felt, they are beneficial to the organism, including their effects on aging. And thus is not only for vanity's sake because of potentially serious age-related diseases — IF one can lessen the likelihood of age-related diseases, such as heart problems, supplementation is a no-brainer for me (I would have to review my research and verify that what i am writing has been documented or theorized by experts).Anyway, because of its status as a demonstrably important pro-hormone, it was very important for me to buy a pure and well regarded brand, manufactured in the USA in a FDA-Registered according to GMP standards, and perhaps as tellingly, an ironclad 100% guarantee. I found all of this with Superior Labs.

I noticed one day my roomate with a bottle of DHEA (Hi-Health Product), and inquired it's purpose. She related for hormone imbalances helping in overall well being. Feeling overworked, depressed from fatigue and low energy, I set out to see what was available at Amazon. After some research into product reviews, I settled for this DHEA product by superior labs. What happened by week 3 using this product as prescribed was magical. I began to cruise thru my days with a calm and peaceful frame of mind. I don't thing I can define it as being more energetic like that of one would expect from taking a 'energy producing' product. But, for the first time in a long long time I felt motivated to tackle tasks and 'to-do lists' I have been putting off for months. I'm a photographer with a real disdain fro spending any more time on my computer in Lightroom and or Photoshop. I'm on a computer at work fro 13 hours at a time. And here I'm growing increasingly aggravated that so much of my mental faculties are being sucked out of me by my job that here I'm desperate to find my smile to make up for my 'life-sucking job' by dabbling in the art of photography. I just couldn't bring myself to the computer to do it for myself. Now, and it's unbelievable, I'm on my computer playing and experimenting on my photo's. This makes me happy and gives me hope. And while I spend money on supps, organic diets and exercise, I am attributing this new state of well-being to this product. I can't speak to the better immune system advertised on the bottle, but as for the increased libido, this was another pleasant surprise. At 56, I don't remember the last time I woke up to 'morning sunrises.' I was told by the seller I could receive a free bottle of this product for a review. I had no interest to do this cause prior to week three I couldn't honestly say anything, good or bad about this product. Now I can. And to assure you, that at least up to this point, I placed another order for this product prior to this review, regardless whether I get a free bottle or not. Mind you, I eat well, exercise some, juice and am big believer in probiotics (I also enjoy wine, beer and vaping). So the health-habit may be a significant contributor to this products effectiveness. I don't know, I surmise. Nevertheless, at this point and time, I intend to be a regular customer. I guess I could experiment and stop taking this product to be sure, but who has time for that let alone afford to risk going backwards. Not me, I have work to hard. This is an honest review. God Bless.

I had a serious adverse reaction after taking these for a couple days. Full body rash from head to toe. I wouldn't recommend unless you know you will not have side-effects. I also did a lot of research after buying these and found that DHEA should not be taken long term. Money wasted, they went straight into the trash.

It may just be that DHEA is not for me. This is my first time trying it. I was hoping for some help with post menopausal weight gain. I have been taking one tablet once a day for a month. For me it has brought back adolescent acne and that is enough for me to stop taking it.
