DHEA, more formally known as dehydroepiandrosterone, is the most abundant adrenal steroid hormone in the body. After it’s manufactured by your adrenal glands, it travels into cells throughout the body where it’s converted into
androgens, estrogens and other hormones. These hormones regulate the metabolism of fats and minerals, endocrine and reproductive functioning, and energy levels. The amount of each hormone that DHEA creates during the conversion process
depends on an individual’s biochemistry, age, and sex.
Normally DHEA levels peak at around age 25, and then decline steadily. That is where a supplement like Pure Encapsulations’ DHEA 10 mg by Pure Encapsulations may help.
These vegetable
capsules deliver all of the following:
Support for a healthy aging process
Potential improvement of psychological—as well as physical—wellbeing
A precursor to adrenals for the production of steroid hormones
Supplementation
for enhancement of memory and mood in the elderly
Plasma levels of DHEA begin to decline progressively with age; the decline starts at around age 40, to the point where DHEA plasma levels at age 70 are usually only about 20 percent of
the amounts in young adults. Some reports that indicate elderly individuals who supplement with five to 20 mg of DHEA daily—as an encapsulated powder in two or three divided servings —often experience improved mood, energy levels, memory,
appetite, and skin. Supplementing with DHEA is also associated with potentially supporting the cardiovascular system, carbohydrate metabolism, and enhancing weight management, cognitive function, and immune health.

great product
By Kati Austin from Phx on December 5, 2011
I've been using DHEA (pure brand) for over 4 months. My ND recommended it. DHEA 10 mg helps to support not only my DHEA but also my adrenals. I am very sensitive and have to be careful what I take, DHEA 10 mg is a good one!
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Love Pure Encapsulations
By NYC from New York Tri-State on April 6, 2011
This is a great product and I am sensitive to fillers, allergens, etc. I have not had any problems with this product. A doctor recommended this product to me. I think I really like Pure Formulas. The shipping was pretty good. the customer service has been great as well.
Pros:
The price is great for the quality
Cons:
nothing I dislike. I am glad that they sell it at this site because it is hard to find. The company usually only sells it to doctors and nutritionists. So I am really happy to have found it on this site.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
