DHEA, short for dehydroepiandrosterone, is an important hormone that is produced naturally by the adrenal glands. Often called the "youth hormone," DHEA levels peak around age 25 and steadily decline as we get older.
What does DHEA do?
Supplementing with DHEA can potentially help raise declining levels that occur with age. However, it's best to first get tested to see if your DHEA is low before considering supplementation.
The experts at Renewal Hormone Center provide advanced hormone testing to accurately check your DHEA and other hormone levels. If low, we can create a customized treatment plan which may include DHEA supplementation along with diet, lifestyle and other natural recommendations to help optimize your hormones.
Some key points about DHEA supplements:
Research suggests DHEA supplements may help reduce inflammation, build bone density, improve heart health markers, enhance mental clarity, increase libido, build lean muscle mass when combined with exercise, and more. However, some studies show limited effects, so personal testing helps guide if supplementation could help.
Got symptoms like low energy, poor sleep, sexual dysfunction, hot flashes, irritability, or mental fogginess? These can potentially stem from age-related hormonal imbalance, including declining DHEA.
