DHEA capsules are a beneficial addition to any individual's nutritional intake, as they can help support the body in its natural production of this important hormone.

DHEA is a crucial steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands from cholesterol. It helps regulate other important hormones in the body, such as estradiol and testosterone. Even though it isn't directly linked to progesterone production, its levels indirectly affect its synthesis through pregnenelone conversion based on feedback mechanisms.

DHEA has far-reaching influence on the body, playing a part in everything from bone health to brain function. It appears to be key for regulating blood sugar and insulin levels while supporting healthy lipid metabolism - plus, it's essential for maintaining lean muscle mass. Human studies have highlighted just how pervasive its effects can be!

Human plasma contains both DHEA and its metabolite, DHEA sulfate. Total levels begin to rise after age 7, reaching a peak at 20-24 before decreasing steadily by roughly 20% every decade until around 85-90 years old when they are only 10-15% of their initial concentration. Furthermore these levels decrease in the event of physiological stress such as infection or trauma - even vegetarians experience lower concentrations than normal.
