Regarding supplements: what is the difference between DHEA and 7 KETO. Are they interchangeable?

7-keto is just one of many metabolites of DHEA. So they are clearly not interchangeable metabolically, but I have heard anecdotal reports that they are interchangeable symptomatically. I supplement with the parent hormone myself.

Since the articles indicate that Erxian Decoction increases LH and FSH production, the question I have would be mechanism of action.

For example, does it act as a weak estrogen or does it act as an aromatase enzyme inhibitor. These mechanisms would explain why it increases LH and FSH, leading to an increase in testicular hormone production.

If either of these mechanisms are in play, then Erxian Decoction is most similar to Tamoxifen or Arimidex rather than HCG (which directly acts like LH).

Both Tamoxifen and Arimidex are options in raising testosterone production.

Thanks.
