Advice on getting sublingual DHEA from US

Hi, just been prescribed and received DHEA capsules (life extension brand) by private thyroid doctor in UK. However, I've read that taking hormone tablets is a risk for people with Anti-phosholid Syndrome (APS), which is sticky blood. I don't have a diagnosis but I have had the symptoms for a long time. So I want to reduce the risk and get a sublingual DHEA to avoid my stomach & liver. Life extensions do, dissolve in the mouth DHEA tablets which are available online from US. Just spoke with Life Extensions Europe and they say that if I order these UK customs won't allow it into UK.

I also spoke with the Smartway pharmacist who got me the capsules but she couldn't get the lozenges.

Can anyone advise how I can get the DHEA dissolve in the mouth tablets.

DHEA is a real problem within the UK.

Also, DHEA is a prescription-only medicine in the UK so the usual post closing will be done.

This is my standard note when members post asking for suppliers of hormones/medicines. Some parts will not apply to this specific post.

If you have not already done so, adding some information to your profile might help and encourage replies. Members are very much more likely to make recommendations if they are convinced you understand what you are asking for, and will use it sensibly.

In particular, if you are not within the UK, please make this clear. Some potential suppliers will only supply specific countries. If it is not already included, please add it to your profile.

Asking for possible sources of supply is allowed.

Always write your own brand new post.

Do NOT go round adding replies to existing posts asking for sources. When this happens, either your reply will be deleted or the whole thread will be closed to replying. Neither of which is desirable.

(You can ask other members by Private Message but be considerate. Unexpected Private Messages can feel intrusive and demanding to the recipient especially if they have never seen you post or reply. Some members may not wish to reveal their sources, or possibly do not notice your Private Message, or do not wish to engage at all. That is entirely their choice and we should make no assumptions if we do not get replies.)

As we can't name suppliers on the forum, any replies must be by Private Messages (also called Chat). Your post will be closed to replies to prevent any information being posted here. You might already have requested Private Messages.

Once the post is closed, there can be no further replies on forum. That is why it is best to ask for sources in a separate post. And to make sure to give sufficient details as they cannot be added once the post is closed.

We hope that you get some helpful responses but, if you do not, feel free to post again.

To avoid being scammed by unscrupulous suppliers who we know contact members when requesting suppliers of thyroid meds, you are encouraged to contact a member of the Admin team to see if we have any feedback on any recommendations that you are sent. Please read the post linked to below and don't part with any money until you have checked any supplier information with an admin.

However, admins cannot make any recommendations themselves. This is expressly prohibited so do not ask us to do so.

You will find few, if any, of the potential suppliers accept the best known and most trustworthy forms of payment such as PayPal and credit cards. The major payment companies are very wary of medicine suppliers.
