Ynt: Digest Number 2789

[Guest guest]

Hi June,

I am using about 40 mg a day.Plus about 7.5 mg of 7-Keto DHEA.I noticed that

there is a relationship between the dryness of the skin / quality of the

hair and the amount of DHEA body is producing. I am adjusting my dosage

according to dryness of my skin and quality of my hair.If my skin gets too

oily and my hair gets soft and straight that means I have too much DHEA,i

must either decrease Pregnenolone or DHEA.I was on 40 mg. Pregnenolone for

the last 6-8 months.About 2 months ago my skin started getting drier and my

hair started getting unmanageable and dry,so I added some DHEA thinking that

my adrenals are not being able to convert Pregnenolone into DHEA.I also

thought that by adding 7-Keto I would decrease the load on my

adrenals.(Saving some adrenal work for the conversion of Pregnenolone to

DHEA).If you ask me why 7.5 mg,it is because 10 mg. make me irritable and

nervous.Of course these are my personal opinions and experiences,I am not

knowledgeable enough to give advises on this important subject of hormonal

supplements.

Thanks.

Nil

| Hi Nil,

|

| I'm peri-menopausal too and all my sx's are really exacerbated by the

| hormonal fluctuations.

| I've noticed a vast improvement using the pregnenolone as well. Do you

mind

| my asking what dosage you use? I take 60mg a day, and up to 70mg on really

| bad days.

| Thanks,
