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.

Warning: Men with prostate cancer and women with reproductive cancers and /or reproductive pre-cancerous conditions should not use DHEA unless under strict, experienced medical supervision.
