More about DHEA
Peak blood levels of DHEA occur at approximately age 25,
decreasing progressively thereafter. Maintaining y,
youthful serum levels of DHEA has a variety of
benfits. Thousands of studies have been published on DHEA's
various benefits, including immunomodulatory properties as well
as positive effects on mood, quality of life, and body
composition. Rejuvenating the circulating levels of DHEA to
those found in young people may improve overall well-being and
sexual function as well.
Body composition, mood, and more
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, ten
months of DHEA supplementation showed enhanced increases in
muscle mass and strength resulting from resistance exercise in
elderly individuals. Other studies of DHEA regimens in women
suggest beneficial effects on well-being, mood, and sexuality.
Studies show DHEA may improve mood and alleviate melancholy, and
may also benefit the aging brain.
Cardio, circulatory, and structural
DHEA has the capacity to improve vascular by a number of
complex processes. One of them is increasing nitric
oxide synthesis. DHEA has also been shown to support a y
circulatory system and joint/ . In a randomized,
double-blind, controlled trial, one year of DHEA supplementation
helped protect hip mineral density in older adults and
spine mineral density in older women.
DHEA usage and safety precautions
Life Extension's DHEA directions for use are specially drafted
to provide safe, optimal dosing. Regular blood testing is highly
recommended both for dosage accuracy and blood level monitoring.
Because of the overwhelming evidence connecting low levels of
DHEA to age-related factors, Life Extension suggests that all
people over age 40 begin DHEA supplementation.
For most people, the starting dose of DHEA is between 15–75 mg,
taken in one daily dose. People over age 40 who do not
supplement with DHEA usually have serum levels below 200 µg/dL,
and many are below 100 µg/dL since an age-related decline
generally takes place after the third decade in life. This
product contains 50 mg of DHEA per .
DHEA precautions for men
Men with prostate cancer or severe benign prostate disease are
advised to avoid DHEA since it can be converted into
testosterone (and estrogen). Therefore, men are advised to have
a PSA and digital rectal exam before initiating DHEA to rule out
existing prostate disease.
It is important for men over 40 to have a physician check
their PSA and DHEA-S serum levels every six to twelve months.
Men should also periodically check their blood levels for free
testosterone and estrogen to make sure that DHEA is following a
youthful c pathway.
DHEA precautions for women
Women should consider estrogen and testosterone testing when
they take their DHEA blood test in order to evaluate DHEA's
effect on their blood levels of these hormones. Women who have
been diagnosed with an estrogen-dependent cancer should consult
their physicians before beginning the DHEA restoration process.
