DHEA

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a steroid hormone and the precursor of androgens (testosterone) in women. The adrenal glands produce the majority of DHEA present in women while the ovaries contribute a minimal amount of this powerful steroid hormone. DHEA is also said by some to slow the aging process, improve sports performance, enhance libido, promote weight loss, and boost the immune system. DHEA has shown increases levels of both mental and physical sexual satisfaction and improvement in mental health issues such as obsessive-compulsive traits, depression, anxiety, and other psychological conditions. The most significant improvements were seen four months after treatment began.
