DHEA Supplementation
Dehydroepiandrosterone supplementation to address age-related decline in this precursor hormone for testosterone and estrogen.
Overview
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a precursor hormone produced by the adrenal glands that declines significantly with age. DHEA supplementation aims to restore youthful levels, potentially improving energy, mood, immune function, and body composition. It is available over-the-counter in the US but should be used under medical supervision.
How It Works
DHEA serves as a precursor that the body converts into testosterone, estrogen, and other hormones as needed. By restoring DHEA to youthful levels, the body has more raw material for hormone production, potentially improving multiple downstream hormonal pathways.
