DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an important hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Referred to as the “youth hormone,” DHEA helps regulate many key functions in the body.
Some great questions that come up around DHEA:
What are the benefits of raising DHEA levels?
Higher DHEA has been linked to improved mood, cognition, bone health, heart health, immunity, and more. Supplementing with DHEA may help regain youthful hormone balance as we age.
How do I know if my DHEA levels are low?
Symptoms of low DHEA can include fatigue, loss of libido, weight gain, anxiety, or depression. But the only way to truly know is to get a blood test (saliva tests are unreliable). The optimal range is 350-600 ng/dL for ages 30-49.
What is the safest way to increase DHEA?
Lifestyle factors like exercise, stress reduction, and diet optimization can help naturally boost DHEA. Many also supplement with DHEA capsules or sublingual drops from reputable brands. As with any hormone medication, it's important to have levels monitored by a hormone health specialist.
