DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)

DHEA hormone is produced primarily by the adrenal cortex and is secreted by the testes and the brain. It is a precursor to the hormones that regulate the development and characteristics of men. DHEA helps maintain male masculinity.


A low testosterone level causes the majority of symptoms during Andropause and is linked to a low level of DHEA. DHEA levels begin to decline at around age 30 and continue to gradually decline throughout a man’s life.

How DHEA can benefit your body

  • Restore muscle mass
  • Improve memory
  • Increase testosterone levels
  • Improve immune system response
  • Improve body fat ratio
  • Raise endurance levels

When DHEA levels aren't up to par

  • Fatigue
  • Depression
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Loss of strength and muscle mass
  • Aching joints
  • Low immune system

As with any supplement, you should consult your healthcare practitioner before taking DHEA. Men who have already been diagnosed with prostate cancer should not take DHEA as it may increase the risk of prostate tumors.
