Pre-Cursor to testosterone production Increases muscle & strength Helps maintain fat-free mass Supports cellular energy levels metabolism Improve declining DHEA levels May help decrease cholesterol levels Contains antioxidant properties Some advocates call it the fountain of youth. Known as the mother of hormones, DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is needed by the body to produce many types of hormones including estrogen and testosterone. DHEA is secreted by the adrenal glands (located on top of the kidneys) as well as by the skin, brain, testicles, and ovaries. Although women make less DHEA than men, in both sexes DHEA production declines dramatically with age; levels are 80% lower at age 70 than at age 30. DHEA has a significant impact on lean body bass. It is the most abundant adrenal steroid hormone found in the body. This vital hormone is the metabolic precursor to testosterone and supports muscle growth, cellular energy formation and fat metabolism. DHEA is a catalyst for healthier, leaner eating habits, while blocking the catabolic effects that cortisol has on muscle mass. DHEA may have a profound influence on positive body composition supporting the growth of lean muscle tissue. Many bodybuilders and athletes use DHEA to ensure their bodies have the raw ingredients needed to produce sufficient testosterone, the muscle-building hormone.
