If your goal is to look younger, feel better, and improve your body composition, consider DHEA. The "youth hormone" DHEA has many potential benefits so read the following thoroughly, consult with a healthcare practitioner. What is DHEA? DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone, is an adrenal steroid hormone in the body. It is made by the adrenal glands and is then converted to androgens, estrogens and other hormones. These are the hormones that regulate fat and mineral metabolism, sexual and reproductive function, and energy levels. DHEA levels increase until our mid to late 20's then gradually start to decline. Production in the body may also decrease with the use of certain medications such as insulin and corticosteroids What are the benefits of DHEA? DHEA is stated to be possibly effective for these conditions: 1. Aging Skin - Taking DHEA orally seems to increase epidermal thickness, sebum production, skin hydration, and decrease facial skin pigmentation in elderly men and women 2. Erectile Dysfunction - Taking DHEA orally for 24 weeks seems to improve ED, orgasmic function, sexual desire, and overall sexual satisfaction in men with erectile dysfunction secondary to hypertension. It may not be as beneficial in those with diabetes or neurological conditions. 3. Osteoporosis - Taking DHEA orally 50-100 mg per day seems to improve bone mineral density (BMD) in older women and men with osteoporosis or osteopenia. 4. Schizophrenia - Taking DHEA orally seems to improve both negative and positive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. It may be more effective in women than in men. 5. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) - Taking DHEA orally in conjunction with conventional treatment may help reduce SLE disease activity, frequency of flare-ups, and corticosteroid doses needed.
