DHEA 25 mg (capsules)

DHEA 25 mg (micronized)

DHEA 25 mg by Douglas Laboratories features micronized dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) for high-purity support and consistent quality.

Indications

• DHEA 25 mg capsules may be a useful nutritional adjunct for individuals who wish to support the body’s normal DHEA functions.

Functions

DHEA is a natural steroid hormone that is synthesized from cholesterol through pregnenolone by the adrenal glands. DHEA 25 mg acts as the parent precursor for other important steroid hormones, such as estradiol and other estrogens, and testosterone.

While not a precursor to progesterone, DHEA made by the body can indirectly influence progesterone synthesis through a feedback mechanism whereby pregnenolone is converted to progesterone based on DHEA levels. Apart from these functions, DHEA also has important biological functions itself.
