DHEA
DHEA Supplements: Information
DHEA (a.k.a Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a natural steroid hormone manufactured primarily in the adrenal glands. It appears to act as a neurosteroid in the brain and nervous system and as a precursor to other steroid hormones like testosterone and estrogen. Its exact role in the body is not fully understood, though it has been found that levels of DHEA decrease significantly after age 25. DHEA's Health Benefits Most people use DHEA as part of an ‘anti-aging’ protocol designed by themselves or with their doctor. Users usually report improvements in mood, sex drive and often, lean-bodymass. Side-effects are rare, mild and resolve when DHEA is discontinued or the dose is corrected.
Using DHEA Supplements
Use as directed by the label or your physician. Since DHEA is a hormone and converts to other hormones like testosterone and estrogen, it's not for everyone, particularly if there's been a history of hormone-sensitive cancer. Consult your doctor if you have questions about DHEA's appropriateness for you. Side-effects and Cautions:
Hormonal side-effects are possible. Using DHEA under a doctor's supervision is advisable.
