DHEA

Micronized adrenal hormone

*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 and  estrogens. These hormones regulate fat and mineral metabolism, endocrine  and reproductive function, and energy levels. The amount of each hormone  that DHEA converts to depends on an individual's biochemistry, age, and  sex. DHEA levels peak around age 25 and then decline steadily. DHEA supplementation  has been associated with increased emotional well-being and immune function.

Pure Encapsulations DHEA is micronized to increase absorption. It is  made with 99% pure, pharmaceutical grade DHEA.
