Life Extension DHEA Dehydroepiandrosterone 50 mg, 60 capsules

What Is DHEA?
DHEA is the body's most abundant circulating hormone. But DHEA levels begin to decline over time. Supplementing with DHEA can help support healthy hormone levels and promote healthy immune function, circulatory health, healthy mood, lean muscle mass, sexual function and more.

Since levels of the DHEA hormone decline with age, maintaining a youthful balance offers many health benefits.

Importance of Maintaining DHEA Levels
Levels of DHEA in the blood are high in early adulthood, but these levels steadily decline thereafter. Studies indicate that maintaining optimal DHEA levels offers a variety of health benefits, including positive effects on mood and quality of life, maintaining lean muscle mass and more. Youthful circulating levels of DHEA support overall well-being and sexual function as well.

Why Should I Supplement With DHEA?
There are a ton of hormones in the human body, but the most abundant ones circulating through our bloodstream is DHEA and this hormone does some excellent stuff for our bodies. It helps us balance other hormones while promoting healthy immune function, circulatory health, healthy sexual function, and more. It even helps us maintain our mood, but levels of this important hormone begin to decline over time.

That's what prompted our experts to scour through the latest research and create our DHEA formula. Gluten-free and non-GMO, our DHEA is available in four different dosages to meet your specific needs.

So start promoting your optimal hormone balance and overall health with DHEA from life extension. You'll be glad you did.

DHEA: usage & safety precautions

In order to develop a personalized, effective DHEA regimen, regular testing of blood levels is highly recommended to determine the proper and accurate dosage. Because of the overwhelming evidence connecting youthful levels of DHEA with healthy longevity, Life Extension suggests that most people over age 40 begin DHEA supplementation. The starting supplemental dose of DHEA for most people is 15 to 25 mg a day, though some people will require higher doses to reach youthful levels.
