4-dhea is a naturally occurring non-methylated (non-17aa) pro-steroid. although 4-dhea can aromatize to estrogen it is probably not enough to cause high estrogen related side-effects.
higher doses of this compound will produce fairly lean gains in muscle mass, with moderate improvements in strength. this product may produce some bloat from the estrogen conversion, which could be countered by administering an aromatase inhibitor, but this will largely defeat the purpose of using this compound to begin with.
4-dhea may appear under the nomenclature 4-androstene-3b-ol, 17-one. 4-dhea does not have much anabolic activity on its own, but it converts to testosterone in a two-step process involving the enzymes 3bhsd and 17bhsd. 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.
benefit
4-dhea is normally added to cycles to help off set some of the side effects. 4-dhea is normally added to dry cycles because you need to balance out the dht and estrogen levels in your body. this happens because when you are taking a dry cycle you are adding a lot of dht into your body. you then have to add a wet pro hormone to counter act the levels. adding 4-dhea to a dry cycle will be beneficial but the overall use for 4-dhea is for bulking.
side effects
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.
