  "methodology": "Labels were enumerated from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database by paging its DHEA search and keeping labels sold as DHEA. Milligrams per serving are the Supplement Facts row for the panel serving; the daily figure multiplies by the maximum servings in the directions. 7-keto is read from the name and ingredient rows; micronized, sublingual and dissolve-in-mouth from the name, form and directions; blends from any second hormone; women's lines from the product name; USP from a printed statement; warnings from the label's warning text. Every figure was recomputed in two halves split by label-id parity; figures that did not agree within 8 points (shares) or 25% (medians) are not published. Cost per 25 mg = price / (mg per serving x servings) x 25 at the Amazon price on the date shown.",
