Each capsule of our Be Well DHEA provides 25 mg of DHEA derived from the wild yam. DHEA works as the counterpart to the stress hormone cortisol. Maintaining healthy DHEA levels is crucial for balancing the catabolic effects of cortisol.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a steroid hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands and, to a lesser extent, by the testes and ovaries. DHEA is one of the most abundant steroid hormones in the human body and can be found in our blood, saliva, urine and cerebrospinal fluid. DHEA acts as a reservoir to be used for the production of estrogen and androgens like testosterone throughout the body. Beginning in the many patients' early 30s, DHEA levels decline by about about 10% per decade. Inflammation, blood sugar imbalances, and long-term stress can accelerate the normal age-related decrease in DHEA production as well.
Suggested Use:
