DHEA for Wellbeing (healthy young) and DHEA
Each entry’s own grades, side by side. A grade says how strong the evidence is for one outcome — it does not rank one entry over the other.

Evidence grade D — Little benefit, real risk
Grade D1 graded outcomerevised Jul 10, 2026
Assembled by the app from other entries in this library. It adds no evidence of its own — follow the links to the entries it draws on.
Compound or practice
DHEA
An actual hormone precursor — meaningful only where DHEA is genuinely low (aging, adrenal insufficiency), and a banned substance in sport.
Grade C2 graded outcomesrevised Jul 10, 2026
A structured monograph in Prometheus's bundled library. Its grades are the monograph's own reading of the evidence, not a peer-reviewed review.
Graded in both
Outcomes are matched by name. Two entries can describe the same outcome in different words, so one listed further down may still be graded in the other.
