What is DHEA (Androstenolone)
DHEA (aka Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a naturally occurring prohormone: your body converts it into testosterone, DHT, and other sex hormones depending on what you need most. In simple terms, it’s a raw material that fills in the gaps in your hormonal balance.
Androstenolone is DHEA in its most anabolic-friendly form, designed to support strength, energy, recovery, and hormone balance, especially after a cycle or during long-term suppression.
Novo-Pharm’s micronized version improves bioavailability, so you’re not wasting half your dose. This option hits faster, smoother, and more consistently than capsules.
DHEA Benefits
DHEA doesn’t override your hormones, it fuels them. It’s ideal for those who want a softer bridge between cycles, enhanced libido on TRT, or a low-impact hormonal edge during recovery:
- Boosts free and total testosterone levels naturally
- Enhances mood, libido, motivation, and mental clarity
- Preserves lean muscle mass during PCT or calorie deficits
- Helps fight fatigue and burnout post-cycle
- Supports adrenal function and stress regulation
- Can help stabilize hormonal mood swings during recovery.
Whether you’re running it alone or stacking it with Clomid/Nolva or Kisspeptin, DHEA helps smooth out the crash and keeps your head in the game.
DHEA Side Effects
Side effects depend heavily on your dose and individual sensitivity. Here’s what might show up, especially at higher doses:
- Oily skin or acne
- Hair thinning (if you’re prone to DHT sensitivity)
- Slight irritability or mood changes
- Increased estrogen (aromatization risk is low, but not zero in some users).
Micronized formula kicks in faster, so start low if it’s your first time.
DHEA Contraindications
Skip DHEA if you:
- Already have elevated DHT or estrogen levels
- Have hormone-sensitive conditions (like prostate or breast issues)
- Want a quick anabolic fix—this is support, not a steroid
- Are running it mid-cycle hoping for muscle gains—it’s not made for that.
Also not ideal for women unless clinically advised—it can trigger androgenic effects like facial hair or voice changes.
DHEA Dosage
From Novo-Pharm’s 50mg tabs:
- Beginner dose: 25mg/day in the morning
- Standard male dose: 50mg/day
- Advanced recovery: up to 100mg/day
Cycle length: 4-8 weeks depending on goal.
Can be stacked with other PCT agents or run solo for low-testosterone support.
Note: Micronized DHEA has stronger bioavailability. Don’t assume 50mg = weak.
How to Take DHEA
No rocket science here, it’s an oral tablet that you have to take once daily, with or without food.
Morning dosing preferred to match natural hormone rhythm. And no splitting required — each Novo-Pharm DHEA tab is precisely 50mg.
No injection. No mixing. Just consistent daily support with zero effort.
DHEA 50mg FAQ
Is DHEA a steroid?
Nope. DHEA is a hormone precursor, not a steroid. Your body converts it into androgens (like testosterone) if it needs them.
Can I use DHEA in PCT?
Yes, and it works best as a bridge compound during or after traditional PCT. It helps you feel better while Clomid or Enclo handles the heavy lifting. You can’t DHEA solo for PCT, but you can add it as an extra support measure.
Does DHEA raise estrogen?
It can, if you’re sensitive or take it at high doses. Keep your dose tight and monitor if you're prone to E2-related issues.
