DHEA can be taken anywhere between 15-400mg a day

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX Welcome to HCM,

DHEA can be taken anywhere between 15-400mg a day and for you around 100 mg should suffice. If you are taking a rich Omega-3 diet--fatty fish, seeds, rice XXXXXXX soya etc--you may not require it. It is recommended to take it for six months and then give a break and again repeat.

We are certainly not a scam as you'll see on receiving this answer, feel free to discuss further
