DHEA

What is DHEA?

DHEA, short for dehydroepiandrosterone, is an important hormone that is produced naturally in the body by the adrenal glands. It serves several key functions:

• It is a precursor to other key hormones in the body like testosterone and estrogen. This means it is converted into these hormones to help maintain optimal levels.


• It plays a role in bone health and helping maintain lean muscle mass and strength as we age.


• It supports energy levels, mood, motivation, and general wellbeing. Many people report feeling more youthful vitality on DHEA.

As we age, DHEA production begins to decline, leading to drops in related hormones like testosterone and estrogen. This causes many negative effects like:

• Decreased muscle mass


• Lower bone density


• Reduced energy levels


• Impaired mental clarity and focus

This is why many anti-aging doctors now routinely check DHEA levels in older patients. Optimizing and supplementing declining DHEA can reverse many age-related declines.
