I have never been there, but I guess I should take the next train and check whether water contains 0.4% or 0.8% DHEA ;-) Outside of the medical practices of some anti-aging docs nobody appears to care about the "good old" dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), these days. As a diligent student of the SuppVersity, you are yet well aware of the reviving effects DHEA has on the liver (cf. August, 26, 2011 ), pancreas & insulin sensitivity (cf. May, 15, 2011 ) and adipocyte metabolism (cf. April, 8, 2011 ) in "older" people or everyone with suboptimal DHEA levels. You will also be aware that the adrenal steroid hormone which can be converted to testosterone (and thusly DHT or estrogen) at the target tissue exerted pretty astonishing effects on body composition in a handful of initial (very) high-dose trials.
