Dehydropiandrosterone or DHEA has helped medical doctors and aging researchers regain the stamina and vitality of their youth. Secreted by the adrenal glands, DHEA is a mother hormone. It is the source of steroid and sex hormones in the body and the most abundant one.
Levels of DHEA reduce with age. One can reach optimal levels only between the ages of 20 – 25. The decrease in DHEA levels is associated with several age based conditions and diseases. For instance, respondents with lower DHEA levels suffer a high incidence of autoimmune disease, obesity, heart disease, blood sugar instability and mental disturbances.
DHEA is a chief player in the attempt to remain vigorous for the entire lifespan. New research shows that DHEA is an important supplement to maintain youthfulness. |
