Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a steroid hormone precursor secreted primarily by the adrenal glands. It helps maintain healthy hormone levels already within a normal range and helps support the stress response system. DHEA functions as the counterpart to the stress hormone cortisol, and maintaining healthy DHEA levels supports a healthy balance against the catabolic effects of cortisol.
DHEA and its sulfate (DHEA-S) are the most abundant steroid hormones in the human body. DHEA serves as a “buffer” reservoir used for the intracellular synthesis of various estrogens and androgens. DHEA production peaks in early adulthood and then typically declines by about 10% per decade. Beyond the normal decline of aging, other factors associated with lower DHEA include inflammation, blood sugar imbalances, and long-term stress.
DHEA supports healthy mood regulation and can cross the blood-brain barrier. It functions as a precursor for the formation of estradiol and androgens and supports healthy bone formation. DHEA also supports a normal inflammatory balance. Research suggests DHEA supports healthy aging, and it serves as a precursor to estrogen and testosterone, with receptors present in human muscle cells. It supports healthy levels of hormones such as testosterone, progesterone, estrone, and estradiol already within a normal range.
Each capsule provides 25 mg of DHEA derived from wild yam.
