Found naturally in the body, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) usually reaches peak levels in early adulthood, then steadily decreases every year afterward. DHEA supplementation has been recommended for restoring youthful vigor and helping to enhance energy and intimacy. Natrol DHEA contains the highest quality of this hormonal precursor available in supplement form.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (pronounced dee-hi-dro-epp-ee-ann-dro-stehr-own), or DHEA as it is more often called, is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland. It is the most abundant steroid in the bloodstream and is present at even higher levels in brain tissue. DHEA levels are known to fall precipitously with age, falling 90% from age 20 to age 90. DHEA is known to be a precursor to the numerous steroid sex hormones (including estrogen and testosterone) which serve well-known refunctions, but the specific biological role of DHEA itself is not so well understood. It is difficult for searchers to separate the effects of DHEA from those of the primary sex steroids into which it is metabolized. The apparent lack of any direct hormone action for DHEA has prompted the suggestion that it may serve the role of a “buffering hormone” which would alter the state-dependency of other steroid hormones. Although the specific mechanisms of action for DHEA are only partially understood, supplemental DHEA has been shown to have anti-aging, anti-obesity and anti-cancer influences. In addition, it is known to stabilize nerve-cell growth and is being tested in Alzheimer’s patients
Making sure you use the proper amount of DHEA is essential for best results. Each Natrol DHEA tablet contains 25 mg of this hormonal precursor, precisely verified by the High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) technique.
