I moved to Germany about 3 years ago and my German until recently was still intermediate at best. Since supplementing low dose DHEA I can now formulate much longer sentence structures with ease and finally engage in very long conversations entirely in German which was previously impossible. The words that used to be hidden somewhere in the recesses of my brain, are now easily at tip of my tongue when I need them and my recall is excellent.
My German girlfriend, her family and friends have also commented on this drastic improvement in my German as being nothing short of incredible.
I usually take between 5-10mg, always first thing in the morning. I do seem to need to have sufficient carbs in my system in order to get the benefits. Ive also been experimenting with short term fasting recently and the DHEA has a far less potent effect on these fasting days.
But with enough fuel in my system the difference is astounding. I think partly its improving my confidence and assertiveness, I wonder if that's thanks to increased Testosterone or DHT conversion.
problems ive encountered:
1) I find it very hard to get to sleep on days when I've taken the DHEA. I wonder if it's the dopamine increase causing that.
2) I get the feeling people are a bit more intimidated by me than normal. coffee actually seems to counteract this and also has extra cognitive boosting effects in itself so ive started combining DHEA with coffee.
3) the effects seem to last the whole day, but have gone by the next day. As in when I wake up I really notice ive lost the verbal fluency.
