DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is the sole precursor hormone responsible for the production and regulation of every other steroid and sex hormone in the body. It has recently been discovered that bodily levels of DHEA decline with age.
A typical 70-year old will have about 5-10% the DHEA of what a typical 20 year old produces, leading to the
hypothesis that supplementing DHEA can reverse or at least slow the aging process.

DHEA Has a
Significant Impact on Lean Body Mass: It is the most abundant
adrenal steroid
hormone found in the body. This vital hormone is the metabolic precursor to
testosterone and supports muscle growth, cellular energy formation and fat
metabolism. DHEA is a catalyst
for healthier, leaner eating habits, while blocking the catabolic effects that cortisol has on muscle mass. DHEA may have a profound influence on positive body
composition supporting the growth of lean muscle tissue.
Many bodybuilders use DHEA to ensure their bodies
have the raw ingredients needed to produce sufficient testosterone, the
muscle-building hormone.
DHEA has Powerful Anti-Aging Benefits: DHEA is essential for well-being and is considered to have strong anti-aging
properties. It is a potent antioxidant hormone whose rapid decline after age 30
triggers many degenerative diseases associated with aging. DHEA is considered to
be absolutely essential for any anti-aging, longevity program. DHEA levels peak
around age 25 for men and 20 for women, and then decline steadily with age.
Studies show that DHEA supplementation can potentially slow the aging process,
improve testosterone levels and support lean body mass and muscle strength.
DHEA May Help Relieve Pain Caused by Rheumatoid
Arthritis: DHEA may help to relieve pain and inflammation in
rheumatoid arthritis and may be helpful in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
DHEA in high doses appear to lead to significant improvement in decreasing
symptoms of numbness and spasticity in multiple sclerosis patients.
DHEA May Relieve Depression:
Recent double-blind clinical studies show
that our decreasing levels of DHEA associated with aging is a fundamental
contributor to depression among both men and women over the age of 40. This
fascinating study demonstrates we are just beginning to learn of the extensive
anti-aging benefits associated with DHEA in particular and hormone
supplementation in general. Supplementing with DHEA may play some role in
protecting against depression. Low DHEA levels have been reported in older women
suffering from this condition. After six months using 50 mg DHEA per day, "a
remarkable increase in perceived physical and psychological well-being" was
reported in both men and women in one double-blind trial.1 In another
double-blind trial, after only six weeks of taking DHEA at levels up to 90 mg
per day, at least a 50% reduction in depression was seen in 5 of 11
participants.2 Other researchers have reported dramatic reductions in
depression at extremely high amounts of DHEA (90-450 mg per day) given for six
weeks to adults who first became depressed after age 40 (in men) or at the time
of menopause (in women) in a double-blind trial.3

Supplemental Facts: 1 capsule supplies: 25
mg of pharmaceutical grade DHEA
(dehydroepiandrosterone). No Daily Value has been
established for DHEA.
Suggested Use: No daily values have been established for DHEA.
The proper use of DHEA can offer great benefits, however as with any
supplement using it improperly can lead to problems. The best dosage may vary
with each person and their individual goals. The general recommendation is
that men and women should consider taking a total of 25mg (1 dose) up to 75 mg
a day in three divided doses. Most human studies use a daily dose of 50 mg,
and this is the typical daily dose the majority of people use to restore serum
DHEA to youthful levels. Women and men over age 60 are commonly prescribed
50mg and 100mg, respectively. Younger people produce more DHEA naturally so
they can take less. Pregnant or nursing women should not take DHEA and it is
always best to consult your physician. Take
preferably with meals but does not have to
be.
Accurate dosing of
powder can only be obtained with an accurate milligram weight scale. We
advise that an accurate milligram weight scale be used to measure out each
serving as measuring by volume is not always accurate.
