Tablets dissolve in mouth.\u003cbr\u003eFUNCTIONS\u003cbr\u003eDHEA is a natural steroid hormone that is synthesized from cholesterol through pregnenelone by the adrenal glands. DHEA acts as an antagonist for glucocorticosteroid hormones and is the parent precursor for other\u003cbr\u003eimportant steroid hormones, such as estradiol and other estrogens, and testosterone. While not a precursor to progesterone, DHEA can indirectly influence progesterone synthesis through a feedback mechanism whereby pregnenelone is converted to progesterone based on DHEA levels. Apart from these functions, DHEA also has important biological functions itself. Recent experimental and human studies show that DHEA is involved in a\u003cbr\u003elarge variety of physiological processes, including immune function, brain function, bone metabolism, blood lipid metabolism, energy metabolism, the regulation of normal blood sugar and insulin levels, and the maintenance of lean body mass. DHEA sulfate levels are low in early childhood; begin to rise after age 7, peak at age 20-24, and then drop at a rate of approximately 20% per decade, until at age 85-90, levels are 10-15% of what they used to be at age 20-30. DHEA levels also decline under a variety of conditions of physiological stress, such as acute and chronic infections, and trauma. Vegetarians have been shown to have\u003cbr\u003edecreased DHEA levels as well.\u003cbr\u003eINDICATIONS\u003cbr\u003eDHEA tablets may be a useful nutritional adjunct for individuals who wish to support the body’s normal DHEA\u003cbr\u003efunctions.\u003cbr\u003eFORMULA (#83025)\u003cbr\u003eEach Bisect, Dissolvable Tablet Contains:\u003cbr\u003eDHEA..............................................................................5 mg\u003cbr\u003e(Dehydroepiandrosterone)\u003cbr\u003eDHEA is micronized in particle size to increase absorption.
