Promote
feelings of youthful energy
DHEA
may be the closest thing the body has for
rediscovering youthful energy. Studies show that
DHEA can affect certain neurotransmitters in the
brain and improve memory, and many people
testify to DHEA's ability to promote feelings of
youthful energy and enhance feelings of
relaxation and well-being.
Dehydroepiandrosterone,
known as DHEA, is a natural hormone produced by
the body within the adrenal cortex, from
cholesterol. The body's most abundantly produced
adrenal steroid hormone, DHEA is essential for
many of the body's activities. This important
hormone supports overall good health, as well as
healthy immune, cardiovascular, and memory
functions.
DHEA serves an
important role in the function of brain cells.
Brain tissue contains five to six times more
DHEA than any other tissue in the human body.
Some studies have found that DHEA can help
balance neural activity and enhance memory
retention by limiting the activity of gamma-aminobutyric
acid (GABA) in the brain. A preliminary study
suggests that DHEA may energize and revitalize
the body, as well as reduce stress.
DHEA is known as the
'mother of all hormones' because the body uses
it to produce testosterone, estrogen, and
progesterone. In adult men, 30-50% of total
androgens are derived from DHEA. In adult women,
50-75% of estrogen before menopause is derived
from DHEA, and after menopause 100% of estrogen
is derived from DHEA.
As the body ages, DHEA
synthesis decreases significantly. Levels in the
body peak between the ages of 20 to 30, then
decrease an average of 2% per year. By age 65,
the human body is only producing about 10-20% of
the DHEA it produced at age 20. Scientists
theorize that declining DHEA levels may be
linked to a general decline in health associated
with aging.
PhysioLogics derives
its DHEA from diosgenin, a substance extracted
from natural sources, and then converted into
DHEA. We guarantee our DHEA is standardized to
be 99.5% pure, from capsule to capsule, bottle
to bottle.
