Have you ever heard of DHEA? Dehydroepiandrosterone is one of the hormones that are so vital to your health. Although it has its own benefits‚ it’s most important for its role as the precursor to sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen; both hormones are needed by men and women alike in order to function properly. It also influences your body’s production of progesterone. Unfortunately‚ natural DHEA production slows down significantly after age 30‚ and continues to decline during middle age. This may contribute to some of the health issues you may suffer from as you get older.
Stress‚ infection‚ trauma‚ and a vegetarian or vegan diet have also been shown to contribute to a deficiency in DHEA. Having sufficient levels of DHEA in your plasma is necessary due to its ability to help you maintain immune system and brain functioning‚ energy‚ and good lean body mass. It may also support production from the adrenal glands and lift your mood. A DHEA supplement like Douglas Labs’ DHEA 5 mg Micronized Tablets may also provide some cardiovascular benefits.
Douglas Laboratories’ DHEA tablets are manufactured with the highest-quality‚ purest DHEA available. These five milligram tablets provide mild support for your body’s natural production of DHEA‚ and are less likely to interfere with other medications. Since these pills are sublingual‚ you can allow them to dissolve in your mouth or mix them with a liquid like water or juice; this is ideal if you’re unable or unwilling to swallow tablets.
Douglas Laboratories is proud to say that its products are made in accordance with state-of-the-art good manufacturing processes‚ using the best raw material. Since 1955‚ they have been working to raise the standard for nutrition and wellness while striving to exceed customers’ expectations.

DHEA 5 mg
My physician wanted me to try 2.5 mg. I couldnt find 2.5 mg so I ordered the 5 mg and cut the pill in half. These are supposed to be dissolved under the tongue; however the taste is quite unpleasant. I have used other types of supplements that have a cherry taste so I would suggest that the manufacturer add some type of flavoring so these would be easier to dissolve. I have tried other Douglas Lab supplements and feel that they typically make a great product.
Pros
-
Dosage was difficult to find with other manufacturers.
Cons
-
Taste is unpleasant.

DHEA sublingual tablets
I have been taking DHEA 5 mg by Douglas Laboratories for almost a year now and my DHEA levels have returned to a normal level. These sublingual tablets dissolve easily with no bitter taste and are very affordable. I also appreciate the quick turn around time from order to delivery.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

HIGHLY recommended!
DHEA by Douglas Laboratories is great! I have noticed a definite increase in energy and stamina. I was already taking 10 mg of dhea in capsule form but it wasnt quite enough. This has made a noticeable difference for me. I have been dealing with severe adrenal fatigue for quite some time and supplementing with dhea (as well as other things) has really helped me. Ordering more before I run out!
Pros
-
It works! Very effective!
Cons
-
Nothing.

Best sublinqual DHEA
Its really tough to find a 5 mg sublingual tablet. There are not too many manufacturers/online stores out there that carry this. I find most DHEA dosages offered are a lot higher. I also prefer this particular brand. Although Pure Formulas do not have a lot of the vitamins I am currently using I love the fact that they are fast offer points & have free shipping.
Pros
-
The exact dosage that I need.
Cons
-
Nothing!
