DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone produced in the adrenal glands. DHEA can be converted to testosterone and estrogen in the body. As a product of the adrenal glands, DHEA is often used to combat adrenal exhaustion.
DHEA has a broad range of health benefits, an excellent safety record and has been extensively studied. DHEA may decrease insulin resistance, improve fat metabolism, increase immune function, mood, libido and mental focus.* DHEA is thought to have general anti-aging properties too, as the levels of DHEA decrease with age.*
