DHEA 25 mg
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is an important adrenal hormone that supports healthy aging.
DHEA levels decline with age and adrenal stress. It is the most abundant steroid in the
bloodstream and is present at even higher levels in brain tissue. DHEA supports immune system
and thyroid function, as well as memory and energy function; it is also a precursor to many
steroid sex hormones, including estrogen and testosterone. With age DHEA production declines,
usually peaking between the ages of 25-30, and gradually falling to a decline of 90% by age 60.
Studies have shown that supplementing with DHEA may benefit:
● The immune system
● Blood sugar metabolism and weight management
● Brain and bone health
● Heart health
● Estrogen and testosterone levels
How DHEA works
DHEA seems to support IGF-1 levels (insulin growth factor) and support
decreased levels of cortisol. IGF-1 is the hormone, or growth-stimulating
metabolite, produced by the metabolism of HGH and is responsible for the
beneficial effects of elevated human growth hormone. Cortisol is a stress
hormone (HGH). With aging there is a decline in DHEA and an elevation of
cortisol. High and prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream (like
those associated with chronic stress) have been shown to have negative effects
such as:
● Impaired cognitive performance and suppressed thyroid function
● Blood sugar imbalances
● Decreased bone density and a decrease in muscle tissue
● Higher blood pressure and lowered immunity
Factors that contribute to low DHEA levels include:
● Aging
● Caffeine, alcohol, sugar, nicotine, and nutritional imbalance
● A vegetarian diet low in cholesterol and healthy fats
