DHEA
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is the most abundant corticosteroid hormone in the body, and it acts as a substrate for a variety of other hormones. Current research demonstrates that DHEA levels steadily decline with age after approximately age 25, reaching a low at age 80 of only about 5% of that of a 20-year-old. DHEA converts to (or stimulates the production of) estrogen, testosterone, cortisone and many other steroid hormones as needed by the body.Additionally, some cells have specific DHEA receptor sites. Research suggests that DHEA supports the maintenance of normal adrenal and immune function,bone density, healthy skin, and sexual health. Karuna's DHEA contains biochemically pure DHEA in amounts suitable for flexible dosing. Karuna does not use wild yam or other sources claiming to contain "natural" DHEA precursors, because studies demonstrate these precursors cannot be activated in the human body.  Dietary considerations Dairy free Soy free Salt free Wheat free Corn free Yeast free Sugar free Preservative free Artificial Color / Colour Free Artificial Flavor / Flavour Free  Suggested use Use for Adults: One capsule daily, with a meal, or as directed.

DHEA (Dehydro-Epiandosterone is a hormone that is produced naturally by the body. It is made within the adrenal glands and is thought of as the most abundant in the steroid family of hormones. The body uses DHEA to create estrogen and testosterone. As we age, our DHEA levels can decline, resulting in a loss of interest in sex, as well as lowered energy levels and depression. DHEA deficiency is thought to contribute to the development of such illnesses as Parkinson's disease, multiple Sclerosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Additionally, lowered levels of DHEA are linked to the weakening of the bones, known as osteoporosis. Vita Living offers a wide variety of high quality DHEA supplements for both men and women.Â
Research indicates that the use of DHEA may help improve sexual function in both men and women. In women, it seems use of DHEA as a supplement may help renew sensation and interest in sexual activity. In men with erectile dysfunction, DHEA supplementation is helpful. Additionally, supplementation can help alleviate depression. Furthermore, supplementation with DHEA may help prevent and treat SLE. It is important to note that it has been proven to ease symptoms but not alter the illness's course. In men, DHEA helps enhance the effectiveness of weight training. Additionally, it may help improve sports performance.Â
Studies show that taken in the short term (one year or less), DHEA can be beneficial to older people as a supplement; however, it should not be taken for an extended period as this may cause excessive testosterone levels in women. Furthermore, in studies conducted with rats, some concern has been expressed regarding the development of liver cancer in subjects. Generally speaking, DHEA is deemed safe and effective for mature adults; however, it should not be used by pregnant or nursing mothers, children or people who have liver or kidney problems.
