oh wow.. lotus, thanks!!! ;__; that was awesome of you. So DHEA at 9.4 ng/mL isn't so bad then at a normal range of 1.3 - 9.8 ng/mL. ? I was reading online that DHEA was in a group called the "fountain of youth" hormones, everything that you wrote makes me believe that it might be Maca that raised it.. (unless thats just the way my DHEA is) but you said DHEA can help build the butt and ever since taking more amino acids I went from 36" to 43" -- other than that I can't think of anything I take that would effect it.
