Product Description:
 

 

1.  DHEA is a hormone that is naturally made by the human body. It can be made in the laboratory from

 

chemicals found in wild yam and soy. However, the human body cannot make DHEA from these chemicals,

 

so simply eating wild yam or soy will not increase DHEA levels. Don’t be misled by wild yam and soy

 

products labeled as “natural DHEA.”

 

 

2.  DHEA is used for slowing or reversing aging, improving thinking skills in older people, and slowing the

 

progress of Alzheimer’s disease.Athletes and other people use DHEA to increase muscle mass, strength,

 

and energy. But DHEA use is banned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).DHEA is also

 

used by men for erectile dysfunction (ED), and by healthy women and women who have low levels of

 

certain hormones to improve well-being and sexuality.

 

 

3.  Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is not a hormone but it is a very important prohormone secreted in
 

large amounts by the adrenals in humans and other primates, but not in lower species. It is secreted
 

in larger quantities than cortisol and is present in the blood at concentrations only second to
 

cholesterol. All the enzymes required to transform DHEA into androgens and/or estrogens are
 

expressed in a cell-specific manner in a large series of peripheral target tissues, thus permitting
 

all androgen-sensitive and estrogen-sensitive tissues to make locally and control the intracellular
 

levels of sex steroids according to local needs. This new field of endocrinology has been called
 

intracrinology.

Application
 
 

1.  DHEA is a “parent hormone” produced by the adrenal glands near the kidneys and in the liver. In men,

 

DHEA is also secreted by the testes. It is changed in the body to a hormone called androstenedione.

 

Androstenedione is then changed into the major male and female hormones.

 

2.  DHEA levels seem to go down as people get older. DHEA levels also seem to be lower in people with

 

certain conditions like depression. Some researchers think that replacing DHEA with supplements might

 

prevent some diseases and conditions.

 

 

3.  Women who have passed menopause sometimes use DHEA inside the vagina for strengthening the

 

walls of the vagina and for increasing bone mineral density.Like many dietary supplements, DHEA has

 

some quality control problems. Some products labeled to contain DHEA have been found to contain no

 

DHEA at all, while others contained more than the labeled amount.

 

 

4.  DHEA is being investigated and may eventually be approved by the Food and Drug Administration

 

(FDA) as a prescription drug for treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and improving bone mineral

 

density in women with lupus who are taking steroid drugs for treatment. The FDA is still studying the

 

pharmaceutical company’s application for approval.
