Product Description
Pure Encapsulations DHEA 5 offers support for adrenal glands, metabolism, endocrine, cells, immune system, and the male prostate. A decline in testosterone in men can have profound effects on their sense of wellbeing such as, he may experience sadness‚ low energy‚ and a loss of libido. Low levels of this hormone may also contribute to decreased bone density and contribute to joint pain and stiffness. Meanwhile‚ women tend to experience low levels of estrogen with mid-life hormonal change‚ although young women may also be affected. Symptoms include increased severity of PMS (premenstrual syndrome)‚ mood swings‚ anxiety‚ and sadness; this is due to the fact that estrogen contributes to your brain's production of serotonin‚ a “feel good" hormone. Hot flashes‚ anger‚ and irritability may also be associated with low levels of estrogen. Estrogen also promotes the manufacture of DHEA. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) contributes to the body's natural production of testosterone and estrogen in men and women. While these vital hormones are produced in the body by your adrenal glands‚ excessive stress and environmental factors can decrease the rate of production; this may cause you to require higher levels of DHEA intake in order to replenish your supply.Recommended usage: 1-2 capsules per day, in divided doses with meals or as directed by your healthcare professional.

What Is It? DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone, is the most abundant adrenal steroid hormone in the body. After it is made by the adrenal glands, it travels into cells throughout the body where it is converted into androgens, estrogens and other hormones. These hormones regulate fat and mineral metabolism, endocrine and reproductive function, and energy levels. The amount of each hormone to which DHEA converts to depends on an individual's biochemistry, age, and sex. DHEA levels peak around age 25 and then decline steadily.
Uses For DHEA
