Apex's liquid gives 5 mg per 10 drops, so a practitioner can start someone at 2.5 or 5 mg and move in small steps while watching how they respond. Apex formulates it to support metabolic processes that use DHEA, especially in the adrenals, and notes it may also support the immune system, the brain, and energy levels.*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho I Reach For This With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdults whose DHEA-S came back low and who need a cautious starting dose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWomen, where 25 mg capsules are usually too much\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who had side effects from a higher-dose DHEA and wants to try again lower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who can't swallow capsules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes This Form Different\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDose control.
