DHEA

Fight Aging by Maintaining Youthful Levels of DHEA!

Natrol's DHEA is the highest quality available in supplement form.  DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) produced naturally by the adrenal gland, is a key precursor to various hormones and an important base from which other key metabolites are derived.  Clinical research indicates some changes associated with aging may be due to the decline of Dehydroepiandrosterone levels and their beneficial hormonal actions.  It is an amazing natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands with numerous potential benefits. It is converted into androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells. Our bodies produce less and less DHEA as we age.  This dietary supplement has been in use for a variety of reasons: to 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, and treat depression.

DHEA level in our body decrease as we get older, generally falling significantly by the time we are 30.  Increasing the levels have 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.  Numerous studies have proven great correlations between DHEA deficiency or insufficiency and a variety of diseases and symptoms.  For example, decreased levels of DHEA predispose human and animals to higher probability of breast cancer, autoimmune diseases, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease.  A recent DHEA study published in the prestigious journal Science correlates increased DHEA level to longevity.  DHEA also reduces menopausal symptoms, according another recent study.

Most people over 30 have levels well below when they were younger.  DHEA supplementation helps these people to maintain youthful body and an improved life.  However, men with prostate enlargement or prostate cancer and women on estrogen therapy should consult a physician before taking DHEA, because it is converted into androgens and estrogen in the body, and will have an impact on the levels of those hormones.*    Additional DHEA Information
