DHEA
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is the most abundant hormone in your body, made by several different tissues.
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is secreted primarily by the adrenal glands and is responsible for maintaining an anabolic or protein building state. It reduces cardiovascular disease by decreasing visceral fat, it stimulates the immune system, restores sexual vitality, improves mood, decreases cholesterol and body fat. In elderly patients it improved memory, increases energy, and has anticancer properties by enhancing the immune system. Additionally it improves osteoporosis and atherosclerosis and reduces insulin requirements and/or insulin sensitizing drugs. Further, DHEA inhibits the synthesis of thromboxane A2, reduces plasminogen activator inhibitor, and tissue plasminogen activator which all decrease platelet aggregation and ischemia.
Did you know DHEA levels drop 60% between ages 30 and 50? This is why it is so important to have your blood tested and supplement with the proper amount and type of DHEA.
One of the most common things people see with insufficient levels of DHEA is fatigue – more specifically, adrenal fatigue.
By restoring your DHEA to proper levels you may see these benefits:
Increases growth hormone up to 20%
Protection against Ischemic heart disease
Stimulates production of myelin (the covering on your nerves)
Works as an antidepressant
Decreases inflammatory IL-6
Speeds up wound healing
DHEA really is a do it all hormone and perhaps the most interesting fact is that it is currently being investigated as a healthy aging hormone. DHEA has significant potential in increasing insulin sensitivity which makes DHEA important player in the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome associated with abdominal obesity and insulin resistance. Studies suggest that in men over 50 DHEA levels are inversely related to death from any cause and death from cardiovascular disease. The effects of replacement dose of DHEA and men of advancing age significantly raises IGF 1 levels which demonstrates significant improvement of physical and psychological well-being and improved quality of life. It comes as no surprise that DHEA in a pharmaceutical grade called GL7010 is now being used as a treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus and for improving bone density.
