Features & Benefits

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) gained credibility in the medical field when the New York Academy of Sciences published a book called DHEA and Aging. The book detailed many anti-aging and youth enhancing benefits associated with taking it.  We are at our DHEA peak at age 25 and the decline starts shortly thereafter so that by the time we are age 70, it is estimated that we lose 75-80% of the substance in our bodies which creates hormonal imbalances.

More Info

There have been many studies done to see the effects of DHEA on the body. Among the top benefits were immunomodulatory properties,  enhanced well being, improved body composition, positive effects on mood, and overall perceived better quality of life.

A well controlled ten month study of DHEA replacement therapy found that by taking this supplement there was a substantial increase in muscle mass and strength with the addition of resistance exercise in the elderly which had the added benefit of increasing bone density and a stronger circulatory system.  Women with adrenal insufficiency showed a marked improvement in mood and sex drive.
