4-DHEA CAS:571-44-8

What is 4-DHEA?

4-DHEA is a naturally occurring isomer. 4-DHEA readily converts to 4-androstenediol, rather than 5-androstenediol, boosting its anabolic potency more than 2x over regular.

4-DHEA is also expected to have a higher conversion rate to testosterone compared to regular . The 4-DHEA also lacks the calorie burning thermogenic properties, therefore offering superior calorie retention for a bulking effect. This increased anabolic potency and reduced thermogenic action will lead to noticeable gains in strength, lean tissue growth, and weight gain.

How does 4-DHEA Works?

4-DHEA first converts to androstenediol and androstenedione and then to testosterone. 4-DHEA is best used during mass gaining phases rather then during dieting phases, as it is considered to be a “wet” prohormone that is associated with mass gains that come with some temporary bloating.

4-DHEA VS DHEA

The estrogenic side effects of 4-DHEA have been significantly reduced in comparison to DHEA. 4-DHEA can convert to estrogen but it cannot act directly in the estrogen receptor like DHEA, so any estrogenic side effects experienced with 4-DHEA use are a result of increased estrogen levels only. As with most prohormones, estrogenic side effects such as gynecomastia are a possibility with 4-DHEA. 4-DHEA is not methylated, so liver stress is not a concern.
