DHEA

The Steroid Hormone:

DHEADHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, is popularly known as the “mother hormone” in medical circles as it has the ability to produce various hormones on demand like Estrogen, Progesterone, Cortisol, and Testosterone. A steroid hormone, DHEA is produced in large quantities in your body from the adrenal glands and contributes significantly towards your good health. Studies have shown DHEA may help enhance energy, libido, and cognitive function, decrease abdominal fat, build muscle, improve immune status, build bone, and improve emotions.

DHEA Regulates Cortisol:

DHEA may help to protect against the over production of Cortisol from the adrenal glands and enhance the immune system. This is an important factor since too much Cortisol accelerates aging and causes immune system disorders. Studies show that there is an inverse association between diseases and DHEA levels. This means that if the DHEA level in your blood is high, you are less likely to suffer from diseases.

DHEA’s Effect On The Body:

It‘s been long known that the right hormone levels are very important for the well-being and good health of every individual. In fact, research has shown that the hormones, such as DHEA, produced by your endocrine system along with the “T-cell markers” (found within your immune system) play a crucial role in ensuring your well-being. Furthermore, some published studies have also explained that DHEA supplements can help decrease the risks involved in life-threatening diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer‘s disease, senility, and even premature death. DHEA levels in your blood typically peak by the time you are 20 years old and decrease to just 5% by the time you turn 80! Optimizing your system with DHEA helps restore youthful levels of the hormone and enhance well-being.*
