Is there a benefit to adding DHEA to TRT?
AlphaMD's Answer
I would first consider your current DHEA levels. There can be benefit as it can support test production/levels and in a different pathway. This can improve energy and libido. However, DEAH with TRT can also increase estrogen so it can cause more estrogenic effect. Close monitoring and labs would need to be required.
