Dehydroepiandrosterone
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a natural (i.e., endogenous) hormone produced by the adrenal gland and is among the most abundant steroid hormones in the human body. It is a precursor to the hormones testosterone and estrogen, and it is thought to have various effects on the body. DHEA levels naturally decline with age. It is a popular over the counter supplement that is purported to have a variety of health benefits, including increasing muscle mass, improving cognitive function, improving mood and reducing the risk of heart disease and diabetes. The scientific evidence supporting the use of DHEA for these purposes is limited and mixed. Additionally, it could potentially interact with several different medications so if you are considering taking DHEA supplements, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional. DHEA should not be confused with other supplements containing the letters 'DHEA'. 7-alpha-hydroxy-DHEA, 7-beta-hydroxy-DHEA, and 7-keto-DHEA, all contain DHEA as the parent compound with additional structures attached.
