DHEA, short for dehydroepiandrosterone, is an important hormone that is produced naturally by the adrenal glands in both men and women. DHEA levels peak around age 25 and then steadily decline with age. This decline has been associated with several age-related conditions.
What does DHEA do?
DHEA serves several vital functions:
- It acts as a precursor to male and female sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen
- It plays a role in bone health and helps maintain bone mineral density
- It supports muscle growth and physical performance
- It enhances mood and overall well-being
Supplementing with DHEA may help raise declining levels and counteract issues associated with aging. However, more research is still needed on its long-term safety and efficacy.
DHEA supplementation
As we age, DHEA supplementation may provide an array of
anti-aging benefits:
- Increased libido and sexual function
- Improved mood and cognitive function
- Reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis
- Enhanced energy levels and ability to handle stress
If you're experiencing unpleasant signs of aging like low energy, decreased strength, flagging libido, or mood changes, restoring your DHEA to youthful levels may help turn back time!
