Foundational DHEA 25mg

Foundational DHEA 25mg

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a steroid hormone precursor that may help maintain healthy hormone levels and can help support the stress response system. DHEA functions as the counterpart to the stress hormone cortisol. 

DHEA and its sulfate, DHEAs, are the most abundant steroid hormones in the human body and can be found in blood, saliva, urine and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). DHEA serves as a “buffer” reservoir to be used for the intracellular synthesis of various estrogens and androgens throughout the human body. DHEA production peaks during the second decade of life. Beginning in the early 30s, DHEA levels typically decline by 10% per decade. In addition to the normal decline associated with aging, other possible causes of a decline in DHEA production can include inflammation, blood sugar imbalances and long-term stress.
