DHEA
Colorado Nutrition®
DHEA
also called the Mother Hormone, is produced by the adrenal glands in the adrenal
cortex, testes and ovaries. It is the most abundant steroid in the bloodstream
and is present at even higher levels in brain tissue. DHEA is a metabolic
intermediate in the pathway for the synthesis of testosterone and estrogen.
Studies have shown a direct relationship between plasma DHEA levels and the
inhibition of many degenerative diseases. DHEA levels peak around 20 to 30 years
of age with a gradual decrease as a person ages. DHEA permits serum cholesterol
and other serum lipids improved entry into liver cells for excretion thru the
bile into the intestine, thereby lowering serum cholesterol and triglycerides.
Kidney functions may be favorably influenced by daily intake of DHEA. DHEA
supplementation supports restoration of mineral homeostasis, with normalization
of serum potassium and magnesium. DHEA Supplementation may help to prevent a
negative nitrogen balance and the loss of lean body mass frequently associated
with the aging process.
