DHEA ( Dehydroepiandrosterone ) is the most prevalent of the hormones produced by the adrenal glands. After being secreted by the adrenals, DHEA circulates in the bloodstream as DHEA-sulfate (DHEAS) and is converted as needed into other hormones. DHEA converts, in part, to testosterone, which may account for the fact that low blood levels of DHEA have been reported in some men with erectile dysfunction. DHEA Declines with Age With age, DHEA levels can decline up to 90%, and it peaks in your 20's. Because DHEA is a main precursor of testosterone, it's often used to boost sex hormone levels, and used by athletes to boost testosterone levels. Studies have shown that supplementing 50-100mg of DHEA per day helped increase muscle mass and improve overall health condition in 40 to 70 year old subjects. Although the specific mechanisms of action for DHEA are only partially understood, supplemental DHEA has been shown to have a positive influence on markers that define aging and obesity. "Boosts sex drive!" "Restores memory!" "Fights cancer!" "Prevents heart disease!" "Helps erase wrinkles!" "Strengthens immunity!" "Fights fat!" are just a few of the claims for DHEA being made as a popular dietary supplement. How do you know if you can benefit from DHEA? You can test your current DHEA level. This may be done by your doctor and is helpful in establishing a base line to determine the effectiveness of supplementation. Since most adults over 40 have low DHEA blood levels, many health professionals feel that it is better to test DHEA blood levels three to six weeks after beginning supplementation to determine optimal dosing levels.
