DHEA v Adrenal Caps

Hi All

I currently take 6 x Adrenal Caps per day, I can't function on less. I wanted to know if I changed to DHEA what would be the equivalent I would need to take. Is it 25mg or 50mg. Each adrenal cap I take consists of adrenal (bovine) 340mg and 430mg of herbs.

I hope it is okay to ask.

Do you realise that DHEA is a Controlled Drug in the UK?

Special extra measures around prescribing and dispensing within the UK. And illegal to import.

Might seem madness, but it is the case.
