DHEA
DHEA is a steroid hormone produced in the body by the adrenal
glands. Over time, people produce less of this hormone. Hormones
are small powerful molecules that influence every cell in the
body and are necessary for proper health and even life itself.
Health disorders can occur when the ratio of hormones becomes
out of balance. Therapeutic use has proven hormones to be among
the most effective biological agents in treating an endless
number of adversities in the body.
Until recently, the role of DHEA in the body was uncertain.
Thought to be nothing more than a buffer hormone , DHEA was
considered to serve only in the production of other hormones.
Scientists now have learned that body cells have DHEA receptors
meaning the hormone has a specific role in the body. While it is
similar in structure to testosterone, progesterone and estrogen,
DHEA has an endless number of functions in the biological
spectrum.
Recently, DHEA has been show to help endothelial function and
insulin balance. Insulin helps the body metabolize sugars.
Insulin sensitivity impairs the body from processing sugars.
Endothelial functions help regulate blood flow by combating
plaque. These two factors contribute to the risk of heart
disease.
The latest research dedicated to DHEA suggests the hormone may
be a great benefit in treating an array of health problems while
