DHEA, also known as dehydroepiandrosterone, is the most abundant adrenal steroid hormone in the body. After it’s made by the adrenal glands, it travels
into cells throughout the body where it’s then converted into androgens, estrogens and other hormones; these hormones regulate fat and mineral
metabolism, endocrine and reproductive function, and energy levels. The amount of each hormone that DHEA is able to produce depends on an individual’s
biochemistry, age, and gender. DHEA levels peak at around age 25, and then begin a steady decline. That’s where Pure Encapsulations’ DHEA 10 mg capsules can
help.
This supplement provides you with all of the following benefits:
Support for a healthy aging process
Improvement of psychological as well as physical
wellbeing
A precursor to adrenals for steroid hormones
Supplementation for the enhancement of memory and mood in the elderly
By the time you reach the age
of 70, your plasma levels of DHEA will probably be only 20 percent as high as they were when you were a young adult. Reports indicate elderly individuals who
supplement with 5 to 20 mg of DHEA per day (in the form of an encapsulated powder, in two to three divided servings) often experience improved moods,
higher energy levels, stronger memory, better appetite, and healthier skin. Supplementing with DHEA is also associated with supporting cardiovascular health
and carbohydrate metabolism; this allows DHEA to promote weight management. In addition, it also has benefits for cognitive function and immune system health.
These vegetable DHEA capsules serve as a much-needed source of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a crucial hormone secreted by the adrenals. It’s
critical that you have an alternate supply of the hormone once natural production slows, and this bottle of 180 capsules gives it to you.

It's kept me going as if I'm 50 and I'm 69!
By Sandra Burkhart from Palm City, FL on February 20, 2012
My allergist, who is open to alternative remedies, recommended DHEA ten years ago and said Pure Encaps was the best source. Since I am now 69 and my annual blood work says I'm doing fine for 50, I guess it works pretty well! Sandra Burkhart
