DESCRIPTION

DHEA, also called the Mother Hormone, is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands in the adrenal cortex, testes, and ovaries.* It is the most abundant steroid in the bloodstream and is present at even higher levels in brain tissue.* DHEA is a metabolic intermediate in the pathway for the synthesis of testosterone and estrogen.* Studies have shown a direct relationship between plasma DHEA levels health.* DHEA levels peak around 20 to 30 years of age with a gradual decrease as a person ages.* DHEA permits serum cholesterol and other serum lipids improved entry into liver cells for excretion through the bile into the intestine, thereby promoting cardiovascular health.* Kidney functions may be favorably influenced by daily intake of DHEA.* DHEA supplementation supports restoration of mineral homeostasis, with normalization of serum potassium and magnesium.* DHEA supplementation may help to prevent a negative nitrogen balance and the normal loss of lean body mass frequently associated with the aging process.*

WARNING

Men with prostate cancer and women with reproductive cancers and/or reproductive pre-cancerous conditions should not use DHEA unless under strict, experienced medical supervision.
