DHEA

DHEA from DaVinci Laboratories is a micronized dietary supplement that helps maintain DHEA levels within normal ranges to support healthy aging.

Synthesized from cholesterol and secreted by the adrenal glands, Dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, is a steroid hormone that is a precursor to sex hormones, including estrogen and testosterone.

As we grow older, the levels of DHEA in our bodies fall. And the levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol, which DHEA helps manage, increase.

At high levels, over prolonged periods, cortisol can lead to high blood pressure, poor brain and thyroid performance, and weakened bone density and muscle tissue.

Aging is not the only factor that can lead to declining DHEA levels, however. Other factors include

• Sugar and nicotine
• Caffeine, alcohol, and nutritional imbalance
• A vegetarian diet low in cholesterol and healthy fats

When DHEA levels are low, your body does not have sufficient working material for hormone production, possibly leaving you feeling out of sorts, together with other symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
