DHEA 25 mg 60 Vegetarian Capsules

DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone produced by your adrenal gland, which plays a crucial role in the synthesis and regulation of the steroids and sex hormones in your body. As your body ages, DHEA levels fall significantly; research shows that a 70 year old produces about 90% less DHEA than a person in his or her 20s.

Although there’s no clear evidence that DHEA can significantly slow the aging process, it can be linked to several conditions that are common in older people. Low levels of DHEA have been found in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, cardiovascular problems, and high blood sugar.

DHEA may help treat conditions such as bone loss, as well as mental issues. DHEA is also linked to increased sexual arousal in postmenopausal women, and can be used to help build bone and muscle mass.

Designs for Health’s DHEA capsules are made in a laboratory from ingredients extracted from soy and wild yam. Strangely, it’s impossible for the body to produce DHEA from a diet of soy and wild yam, which means eating them alone (instead of in supplement form), has no effect on DHEA levels. The active ingredient of this vegetarian supplement is 25 mg of DHEA.

A 60-capsule bottle of DHEA by Designs for Health will last you for two months when taken at the recommended dosage of one capsule daily, preferably with meals.
