Natural 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.
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.
