Description: DHEA
is a natural steroid hormone that is synthesized from
cholesterol through pregnenelone by the adrenal glands.
DHEA acts as an antagonist for glucocorticosteroid
hormones and is the parent precursor for other important steroid hormones, such as estradiol
and other estrogens, and testosterone. While not
a precursor to progesterone, DHEA can indirectly influence
progesterone synthesis through a feedback mechanism
whereby pregnenelone is converted to progesterone
based on DHEA levels.
Suggested Use: As
a dietary supplement, take 1 to 2 capsules daily, or
as directed by physician.
