DHEA
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is the most abundant circulating steroid hormone, produced primarily by the adrenal glands. It serves as a precursor to both estrogen and testosterone, and its levels decline significantly with age. Supplementation may support vitality, mood, and hormonal balance.

The Science
How It Works
DHEA is converted peripherally into androgens (testosterone) and estrogens (estradiol) via tissue-specific enzymatic pathways. It also exerts direct effects through DHEA-specific receptors and influences IGF-1 levels, immune cell function, and neurosteroid production.
Safety & Side Effects
DHEA supplementation should be guided by lab testing of DHEA-S levels. Potential side effects include acne, oily skin, and hair changes. Women should be monitored for signs of androgenic effects. Not recommended without clinical supervision.
