Answer 1

DHEA is a hormone called dehydro-epiandrosterone which is a precursor of testosterone in the body. DHEA is used by many people for increased energy and libido and by body builders and athletes for its muscle-building and sports performance enhancing effects. I was using DHEA when I developed hyperthyroidism and always felt that it was a causative factor. I stopped taking it when I started developing hyperthyroidism but this did not stop the progression of the hyperthyroidism. I have experimented with it since and am pretty convinced that not only does it promote hyperthyroidism but the effects last many months after usage is discontinued.

As I was researching phthalates (see Phthalates under Toxic Chemicals) which have been shown to have effects on the thyroid, including promoting hyperactivity of the thyroid (hyperthyroidism), I discovered that DHEA, like the phthalates, is a hypolipidemic (fat-lowering) agent. Thus there seems to be a known biological basis for concluding that the use of DHEA could lead to hyperthyroidism. I talked to a person in the nutritional supplement department of my health food store about DHEA usage and she told me that many of the companies that were producing DHEA supplements have discontinued them apparently because of the negative health effects that users have been experiencing. Among these effects are heart palpitations upon exercising and increased resting heart rate, which are exactly the same symptoms that hypers experience. My conclusion is to avoid all use of DHEA and if you have been using it and have developed hyperthyroidism you should recover by discontinuing usage, following the supplement recommendations for hypers, and increasing fat intake to compensate for the hypolipidemic effects. Be patient, since recovery may be slow due to the long-term effects of the DHEA.

Answer 2

DHEA is not a vitamin - it is a human hormone that is a precursor to both estrogen and testosterone. Some studies have shown that it gives some women a small increase in the amount of testosterone in their system. Testosterone is the hormone that contributes most to the sex drive in both men and women, so maybe and only maybe will DHEA do what you want it to..... there are MANY other contributing factors to human sexuality such as physical well being, health, diet etc. The most important sex organ any human has is their brain - Good Luck....

That's what They say. Another way to boost libido is exercise!!
Also if there are unresolved issues in the relationship..... That is the #1 reason women lack a sexual appetite.
