Description
Secreted by the adrenal gland, DHEA serves as the foundation for male and female sex hormones. It plays a role in the production and function of many other hormones throughout the body.
DHEA imbalances often times lead to imbalances of other hormones, such as estrogen, testosterone and cortisol.
Low levels of DHEA can cause symptoms including:
Fatigue
Loss of strength and muscle mass
Aching joints
Decreased sex drive
Impaired immune function
On the other hand, adequate DHEA levels can help:
Increase testosterone levels
Restore muscle mass
Improve the body fat ratio
Improve memory
Boost immune system
