What is DHEA?

How does DHEA work?

DHEA is produced naturally by the adrenal glands and serves as a precursor that body tissues convert into estrogen and testosterone. Supplementation supports hormonal balance, energy, mood, bone density, and immune function, particularly as natural DHEA levels decline with age.

DHEA side effects

Oily skin, acne, hair loss (scalp), facial hair growth (in women), mood changes, and insomnia may occur. Effects are often dose-dependent. Reducing the dose typically resolves these effects.

Drug interactions with DHEA

May interact with hormone-sensitive medications, blood thinners, immunosuppressants, and insulin. Discuss all medications and supplements with your prescriber before starting DHEA.

How to store DHEA

Store at room temperature in a dry place, away from heat and light.

Precautions for DHEA

DHEA may affect hormone-sensitive conditions. Discuss your complete medical history with your prescriber before use. Regular lab monitoring may be recommended. Keep out of reach of children.
