DHEA Replacement Therapy For Anti Aging

DHEA or dehyroepiandrosterone is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It is also produced by the testes, ovaries and brain in smaller quantities. DHEA is the forerunner of testosterone and estrogen. Testosterone is the male hormone while estrogen is the female hormone.

DHEA production is at its highest during the 20s and at the beginning of the 30s the signs of decline occur. Consequently the testosterone levels in males and estrogen levels in females are gradually reduced. In addition to sexual drive DHEA helps improve the memory, muscle mass and the immune system. Reduction in production and gradual stoppage affects these functions of the body.

When a person reaches the age of 70 the supply of DHEA is reduced to 10% of that at the age of 25. The reduction in the supply of DHEA can be replaced by supply from external sources. DHEA supplements have shown very good results in preventing cancer, arterial diseases, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. It also improves the immune system, memory, overall energy and sex drive. In other words, the aging process is slowed considerably by DHEA supplements.

How DHEA supplement is administered? There are two ways. One is done orally. The other is by IV operation. The supplement consumed orally is digested by the intestine and is absorbed by the body through the blood circulatory system. The absorption rate this way is found to be only 3%. The IV administration of DHEA supplement shows a much higher rate of absorption at 33%.
