Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) helps support: the generation of estrogen (for women) and testosterone (for men); which in turn can help increase the percentage of muscle mass; decreases the percentage of body fat; and stimulate bone deposition, thereby helping to be beneficial for those with osteoporosis. DHEA therapy should be taken with caution, as some physicians believe that high doses suppress the body's natural ability to synthesize the hormone. Follow the directions on the bottle as some animal studies have shown that high doses can also lead to liver damage. For this reason it is important to take supplements of the antioxidants vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium to prevent oxidative damage to the liver. Basically this supplement is used daily and can be taken with your daily multi vitamin or other daily nutrition supplements. DHEA Blast contains the purest extracts and delivers 100mg of raw nourishment per capsule. We stock DHEA Blast in small quantities to allow for maximum purity and freshness in every bottle!

What Is DHEA?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is the most abundant hormone in the bloodstream. It is produced by the adrenal glands. This hormone is produced in abundance up until age 25 at which time production slows. By age 80 a person's DHEA levels may only be 10% or 20% of what they were at age 25.
It is the most plentiful androgenic hormone produced by the adrenal glands and it is quite important to body builders and athletes because in men, around 50% of all testosterone is derived from it, while women derive over 75% of their estrogen from it and nearly 100% after menopause. Levels of DHEA are quite high at birth, drop during childhood, and peak during young adulthood. The levels continue to drop throughout life.
In addition, following injury, DHEA is known to reduce recovery time, although human studies have not been published to verify this claim. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is what your body uses to naturally regulate production of 18 steroid hormones including sex hormones and stress hormones. DHEA is produced naturally from cholesterol in the gonads, within body fat, in the skin, in the brain and a large percent of DHEA production happens in the adrenal glands. DHEA is responsible for the production of 50% of testosterone in males and 75% of estrogen in females.
Through the production of other hormones, DHEA plays a natural role in increasing lean muscle mass, stimulating bone growth and burning fat. DHEA has been labeled the anti-aging drug by some. Studies have shown DHEA effective in controlling depression, improving mood, assisting with weight loss, and treating conditions such as systemic lupus.
Bodybuilders often supplement with DHEA to increase testosterone production. Testosterone is known to assist with building lean muscle mass. Doses of 100mg daily for up to a year have been used for muscle strength.
Regular exercise stimulates natural production of DHEA. Reducing caloric intake can also stimulate production of this hormone precursor. Supplementing with DHEA has been shown to reduce lipid and cholesterol levels. Use of DHEA has also been linked to a reduction in heart related problems including heart disease.
Restoration of levels of DHEA, in people with low DHEA levels, appears to reduce age-related physiological decline. DHEA supplementation has been used to treat adrenal insufficiency improving quality of life, increase exercise capacity, increase sex drive, and restore hormone levels in people with impaired adrenal function.
Age related benefits may be linked to the production of HGH, a growth hormone. DHEA has been suggested to decrease the effects of aging. DHEA doesn’t, however, work as a perpetual fountain of youth. Claims of effectiveness in treating chronic fatigue, sexual dysfunction, skin aging and muscle strength need to be researched more according to the Mayo Clinic.
The body produces little DHEA from birth through about 7 years then production is increased. Your DHEA levels are at their highest in your twenties and decline after age 30. It is unclear if age is the cause of decreased production or DHEA or if we just need less as we age. Stress, caffeine and alcohol consumption can reduce levels of DHEA.
Side effects of DHEA supplementation may include; headache, insomnia, emotional changes, acne, body and facial hair growth and mood changes. Use in teens who haven’t met their full growth potential can result in stunted growth. Because DHEA stimulates testosterone and estrogen production side effects in males can include feminine traits including chest/breast growth while side effects in women can include; facial hair, gruff voice and other masculine traits. It is possible to have menstrual irregularities and decreased HDL (good cholesterol) levels in women also. DHEA shouldn’t be taken by pregnant women. DHEA and estrogen replacements shouldn’t be taken together.
How Much To Use?
When used in the correct dosages, DHEA is great. But, with any kind or hormone or compound, when used incorrectly it can cause problems. The exact right dosage may vary with each individual, so consulting a physician is probably a good idea. But, a good recommendation to start with is between 5-25mg daily. Women and men over age 60 are commonly prescribed 50mg and 100mg, respectively. Obviously since younger people produce more DHEA naturally, they should take less. Pregnant or nursing women should not take it.
