"DHEA levels predict death from CVD in older men.

A Dr. Ohlsson from the University of Gothenburg presented some very important

data that found levels of DHEA and or DHEA-s in older men strongly predicted

death by cardio vascular disease (CVD). His group looked at 2,639 men with a

mean age 75 years. Tracking these men for 4.5 years, they found 328 deaths

had occurred with lowest levels of DHEA and DHEA-s correlating strongly with

those deaths. Most important, they found "The association between low DHEA

and CVD death remained significant after adjustment for smoking, body mass

index, Diabetes and hypertension." This study found Low serum levels of DHEA

predict death from cardiovascular disease in older men."

Do male enhancement drugs cause drug screen failure?

It depends on the drug test, but for athletic drug screening, absolutely. The most recent hi-profile case was 2008 Olympic gold medal 400m runner LaShawn Merritt, who failed drug screening in 2010 for banned substances. Though stating he hadn't taken anything knowingly or willfuly, he eventually traced it back to taking some samples of a male enhancement drug (Extenze) containing DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) and pregnenolone. He accepted a provisional suspension as a result, for 21 months.You can read more about it at the links below.


Can you take zocor with antihistimine?

There is a chance that Tagamet (Cimetidine) will increase the concentration of the statin in the blood and increase side effects. However, I have not had problems. I am careful to not take Tagamet multiple days in a row and I seperate the doses of the two drugs by a number of hours.

Should you take estrogen blocker if I'm taking DHEA and Tribulus?

With Tribulus Terrestris an estrogen blocker is not necessary. With DHEA, it would be highly recommended. One prescription drug that will serve as an estrogen blocker is Propecia. Propecia is used to prevent and reverse hair loss in men and is quite effective. It is therefore a prescription which is easier to acquire (what doctor would turn down a male patient wanting to ensure that he keeps his hair) and is effective for both purposes (keeping hair and blocking additional testosterone from aromatizing into estrogen and related compounds). But then, I'm not an expert, just a guy who works out and tries to keep up with the growing body of knowledge out there.
