What is Androstenolone

DHEA is short for Dehydroepiandrosterone — a precursor hormone that your body uses to create testosterone, DHT, and even some estrogen as needed. It’s like supplying your endocrine system with raw fuel so it can regulate itself.

Androstenolone is the more anabolic-facing version of DHEA, ideal for guys looking to restore hormonal balance, keep energy high, and stay mentally sharp after a suppressive cycle or while on a low test phase.

What does micronized DHEA mean?

Micronized means that DHEA has been ground down into very tiny particles — microscopic, less than 10 microns in size.

Here's what micronization does for DHEA:

• Faster absorption – Smaller particles dissolve quicker in the digestive system;
• Better bioavailability – Your body can absorb and use more of it, more efficiently;
• More consistent effects – You get a steadier release instead of a slow, weak burn;
• Lower required doses – Since it's absorbed better, you may not need as much.

So instead of wasting half the dose in your gut like with older raw DHEA tablets, micronized DHEA hits harder, faster, and cleaner. No rocket science — just better delivery tech.

DHEA Key Benefits

DHEA is the go-to when you need gentle hormonal support without the side effects of harsher compounds. It’s especially valuable in between cycles, after PCT, or when the natural test is low and motivation’s in the gutter.

• Boosts natural testosterone without suppressing the HPTA;
• Helps maintain libido, mood, and energy;
• Aids in lean muscle preservation and faster recovery;
• Supports adrenal health and reduces post-cycle fatigue;
• Smooths out hormonal crashes and mental burnout.

Whether you’re stacking it into a PCT or using it as your daily hormone support, DHEA helps keep your system firing without introducing outside hormones.

DHEA Side Effects

It’s pretty mild, but still hormone-active — so don’t treat it like candy.

Here’s what could happen at higher doses or if you’re DHT/estrogen sensitive:

• Mild acne or oily skin;
• Hair shedding (if you're already prone);
• Mood swings (rare, but possible);
• Slight bump in estrogen for some users.

Stick to responsible dosing and you’ll likely avoid most of this. Micronized DHEA absorbs stronger than standard versions, so don’t assume you need to double-dose to get results.

When to Avoid DHEA

DHEA isn’t for everyone. Skip it if you:

• Have high estrogen or DHT-related side effects already;
• Are expecting muscle growth — it’s not a cycle compound;
• Have medical conditions related to hormone-sensitive tissues (prostate, breast, etc.)

And, of course, if you’re a woman looking for lean gains — this isn’t designed for female use unless medically supervised.

How to Dose DHEA

Each Novo-Pharm tab delivers 50mg of micronized DHEA. Here’s how to run it:

• First-time users: 25mg/day is usually enough;
• Standard dose: 50mg/day;
• Advanced/stacked use: up to 100mg/day (only with bloodwork);
• Cycle length: 4–8 weeks max. Longer-term use is possible but should be monitored.

You can use it:

• As a standalone low-T support;
• During PCT to smooth out the crash;
• On TRT to keep mood and drive stable.

How to Take It

• Take 1 tab or 1/2 of the tab per day (25–50mg);
• Best taken in the morning to mimic your body’s hormonal rhythm;
• No need to split or mess with timing — just take it once and go.

DHEA 50mg FAQ

Is this a steroid?

Nope. DHEA is a prohormone, not an anabolic. It’s a precursor — not a suppressive agent.

Should I run it during PCT?

Yes — it’s perfect for PCT bridges. Helps keep you mentally and physically sharp while your system recovers.

Does DHEA convert to estrogen?

A small amount may convert if you’re one of sensitive users, but the risk is low — especially at smart doses.

Can I take this while on TRT?

Absolutely. Many use DHEA alongside TRT to enhance energy, libido, and quality of life.
