Question:

2. I have recently started to consume Deca-Durabolin 25mg
every week for 8 weeks just to boost a little bit my strength and to gain some muscles, not much. Can I use (DHEA) during the use of deca-durabolin? When is the best time of the day to use (DHEA).

Dr. Kaiser replies:

First of all, the use of anabolic hormone preparations such as
Deca-Durobolin should be reserved for situations in which there is a clear medical indication to boost muscle mass. These situations may include wasting conditions, such as AIDS and cancer, moderately low muscle mass situations identified by body composition testing (BIA), and other chronic conditions such as emphysema and/or premature aging. Boosting muscle mass with medically prescribed hormone preparations can yield enormous benefits in improving energy and immune system function. The use of these hormones should always be combined with adequate nutrition, protein intake and appropriate amounts of resistance exercise.

After making sure that your "natural" anabolic hormone levels of testosterone and DHEA have been optimized, the addition of appropriate amounts of Deca-Durobolin (nandrolone) can be added. For men a dosage of 50-100 mg administered every week or 100-200 mg every two weeks is common. The dosage you are using (25 mg every 8 weeks) is not likely going to provide any significant benefits. My recommendation is that you increase the dosage for
a 3 month pulse and use diet and exercise to maintain the gains that you will surely achieve. Deca-Durobolin should also only be administered under medical supervision.

As for taking DHEA, it should be taken 1x/day in the AM with food for best absorption and effect. It should also be coupled with before and after lab testing to make sure that your level is in the optimal range (please see the chapter in my book, Healing HIV, on Hormone Balancing for a thorough description of the way to dose DHEA and the optimal range of the lab tests to strive for). It can easily and safely be combined with Deca-Durobolin.
