DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands with numerous potential benefits. It is converted into androgens or estrogens in the cells. Our bodies produce less DHEA as we age.

DHEA dietary supplements have been in use for a variety of reasons:

• Deter aging

• Improve sexual function/erectile dysfunction

• Treat cognitive decline

• Enhance athletic performance

• Facilitate weight loss

• Improve strength

• Treat osteoporosis

• Improve immunomodulation for rheumatologic conditions

• Treat depression

DHEA levels in our body decrease as we get older, generally falling significantly by the time we are 30. Increasing DHEA levels has been shown to improve one's sense of well being, reduce body fat and improve skin tone and moisture, increase sex drive, improve immunity, enhance memory, and increase bone density.
