DHEA Plus

DHEA Plus

DHEA Plus by Douglas Laboratories contains micronized DHEA and pregnenolone produced under strict GMP standards to ensure maximum purity and consistent quality.

Functions

DHEA is a natural steroid hormone that is synthesized from cholesterol through pregnenolone by the adrenal glands. DHEA acts as an antagonist for glucocorticosteroid hormones and is the parent precursor for other important 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 where pregnenolone is converted to progesterone based on DHEA levels. Apart from these functions, DHEA also has important biological functions itself.

Indications

DHEA plus capsules may be a useful nutritional supplement for individuals who wish to support the body’s

normal DHEA and pregnenolone functions.
