Description:

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone produced by your body's adrenal glands. These are glands just above your kidneys.

Applications:

DHEA supplements can increase the level of these hormones. That's why a number of claims have been made about their potential health benefits.

Those claims range from benefits such as:

· Building up the adrenal gland

· Strengthening the immune system

· Slowing natural changes in the body that come with age

· Providing more energy

· Improving mood and memory

· Building up bone and muscle strength

Since DHEA levels decline with age, some researchers speculate that supplementing your body's falling levels of the hormone might help fight aging. And some small studies have reported positive anti-aging effects from the use of DHEA supplements. But a similar number of studies have reported just the opposite.

According to the National Institute on Aging as well as the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, there is not enough scientific evidence to support the idea that DHEA can affect how fast you age.

Both agencies report that little is known about the effect of long-term use of DHEA. And there is some concern that continued use of DHEA supplements could be harmful.
