6lilpigs - I bought my DHEA at Wholefoods in the US. First I tried in London (in May) but they did not have it yet - the person working in the supplements section told me he thought it would be in soon - you can check with Wholefoods.
I am not from the UK so cannot answer the doctor question.
I read about the types of Dhea and some people recommend the 7 keto as more natural but it may be less effective. I am on the regular.
I as mentioned am on 25 mg every other day. I may move to 10 mg once a day in Dec. Dhea has been useful but too much over a long period is not good. You do not want your adrenals to stop production as I read they may with long term use. Cannot be sure that is accurate information but I am being cautious.
If you are looking at Dhea for egg quality - also try CoQ10 and Royal Jelly.
