DHEA
- The most abundant steroid hormone in the body. DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a precursor of testosterone and other hormones. The source of almost all DHEA is the adrenal glands, though small amounts are synthesized in the gonads, skin and brain. After production, DHEA circulates in the blood stream, where is can cascade into either estrogen or testosterone, as needed.
- DHEA production drops 50% by age 45, increasing heart disease risk and sexual dysfunction. Optimizing your system with DHEA therapy helps restore youthful levels of the hormone, producing more energy, improved immune function, enhanced well being and better cognitive function.
