DHEA

DHEA is the short name of the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone that is naturally produced within the human body. DHEA is a parent hormone produced by the adrenal glands that the body converts into another hormone, androstenedione, which is then converted into the dominant male and female sex hormones.

Due to its widespread importance in the human body, DHEA supplements are also used in a variety of aspects including:

• Anti-aging
• Increasing muscle mass, strength and energy
• Erectile dysfunction
• Weight loss
• Improving immune system function

DHEA levels decrease as we age, with its benefits being more prominent in older generations. Supplementing with DHEA is usually kept within the range of 50mg to 100mg daily.
