Published in Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism
Key Findings
Six months of oral DHEA restored circulating DHEA/DHEA-S but did not affect bone turnover markers in middle-aged to elderly men.
Conclusions
Restoring DHEA levels does not automatically translate to downstream physiological benefit in men.
Supplements Studied
DHEA
Compound
DHEA) supplementation (90 mg orally/d)
Outcomes Measured
We conclude that oral DHEA does not affect bone turnover in middle-aged to elderly men when used for a 6-month period at doses targeted to restore circulating levels of the steroid.
