DHEA
DHEA- dehydroepiandrosterone
DHEA is a hormone that is made by both men and women by the adrenal glands. It is also made in small quantities in the brain, testes and ovaries. Being the most abundant hormone in the body, it can be converted into almost any other hormone, so is therefore an important hormone to be regulating.
After around 25 years old, DHEA levels slowly decline. If DHEA levels are low, it can be associated with degenerative diseases, causing weight gain or obesity, promoting bone loss, causing the person to be lethargic and sometimes leading to chronic depression.
