> Andrew, I read in one of your strings that you are taking 7-keto dhea. I was wondering if that has helped at all. I just ordered some myself. I was wondering what dosage you take of this? Have you had any side effects from it? Do you take this with other meds? Thanks for all the great info.....Brad
Brad,
At 200mg.s/day 7-Keto took away the unusually long and severe muscle soreness I get after intense exercise (It is supposed to limit the catobolic process that tears muscles down.). I haven't noticed any other effects, good or bad. It is supposed to have a nueroprotective effect on the hippocampus. I'll probably take it for about a year before I decide if it has helped my memory any. I took the dose down to 50mg./day and the muscle soreness came back. I will raise the dosage back up again to see if I can regain the initial effect. The dose needed to give a nueroprotective effect I think would vary from person to person and depend on the person's starting level of DHEA in their body but on the blind a dose of 50mg./day might be good to start with.
