100 Sub Tabs - Endocrine Nutraceuticals DHEAgold™ supports all of the tissues that respond to androgens, and is an antagonist for cortisol and other glucocorticosteroid hormones. Optimal levels of DHEA, a natural steroid hormone that is synthesized by the adrenal glands, support healthy heart function, 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. Mood and healthy sexual response is also affected by proper DHEA function in both men and women. Supports steroid hormones production as a precursor for estrogens, and testosterone and other androgens. Increases lean body mass & decreases adipose tissue mass. Support balanced immune system function. Promotes vitality, sense of well being & mood. Promotes healthy function of bone, heart, brain, muscles and other androgen responsive tissues. Enhanced stamina and general strengthening. May use with or without testosterone to support healthy androgen function. DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an endogenous hormone (made in the human body), and secreted by the adrenal glands. DHEA-S is one of the most important hormones produced by the adrenal glands. When measured, it should always be evaluated in with cortisol another very important adrenal gland hormone since DHEA and cortisol are synergistic agonists of each other which help balance metabolic processes in the body, including catabolism and anabolism. Since DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) also acts as a precursor to testosterone and estrogens and has synergistic action with testosterone and estrogens, proper DHEA levels are critical for optimal function of those hormones. DHEA levels in the body begin to decrease after age 30, and are reported to be low in a number of chronic and acute diseases. DHEA levels may also be depleted by a number of drugs, including insulin, corticosteroids, opiates, and danazol. The decline of DHEA levels with aging correlates with a general decline in immunity, increased risk of autoimmune disease in both genders, decreased psycho-neurological function and an increased risks for age-related and degenerative diseases affecting brain, heart, bone, lung, and other vital tissues. Decreased thyroid function is associated with decreased thyroid function, obesity, decreased sex drive (low libido), chronic fatigue, rheumatological disorders, insomnia, and depression. Low levels have been reported in some people with anorexia, end-stage kidney disease, type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes – caused by insulin resistance), adrenal insufficiency, and in the critically ill. Several studies suggest that DHEA may improve well-being, quality of life, exercise capacity, sex drive, and hormone levels in people with insufficient adrenal function. Like all hormones, DHEA should not be taken is excessive dosages. In contrast to a hormone replacement approach, hormone “supplementation is a safer choice. Excessive DHEA levels have been associated with cognitive disorders, inhibition of inhibition of IL-12 production (important fro balanced immune function), inhibition of human erythrocyte G6PD (resulting in increased red cell sensitivity to oxidant stress), as well as increased risk of breast cancer and insulin resistance in women and increased centralized adiposity in obese men.
