DHEA 25 - 60 Capules by PhytoPharmica

DHEA is the most abundant hormone in the body, produced by the adrenal glands. It is a precursor to the sex hormones and a number of the other hormones in the body. Levels of this amazing hormone are highest when one is in the prime of their life, age 18-25, after these ages the production gradually begins to slow down.

DHEA may also be essential in preventing and treating cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, other memory deficits, immune system disorders including acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and chronic fatigue. It may also enhance the body’s immune response to viral and bacterial infections. But the most interesting is that DHEA us currently being studied as an anti-aging hormone.

Studies show that an increase in blood levels of DHEA sulfate is associated with a reduction in morality from any cause. If high levels of DHEA are maintained, it can actually prevent disease. This can be achieved by the safe and natural supplementation from phytochemicals extracted from certain species of wild yams.

As a dietary supplement, the synthetic DHEA is widely used for a number of degenerative conditions. When used it has been highly effective in the following conditions: AIDS, osteoporosis, to prevent cardiogenesis and to slow development of diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, memory disorders, fat mobilization problems and cancer.

There are many items that contribute to accelerating the aging process such as: the items we put into our bodies, sugar, saturated fat, alcohol, tobacco, nicotine and other drugs. Also the pollutants, carcinogens, free radical forming substances, including ultraviolet rays from the sun, and the stress one endures.

In order to help fight the aging process one needs to do the following: take adequate supplies of all vitamins, minerals, complex carbohydrates, amino acids, fiber, water, trace nutrients, enzymes, and antioxidants. Rest, relaxation, emotional well-being, and exercise are also very important.

Studies have shown that hormone replacement therapy implicated to retard aging include:

Estrogen and progesterone Testosterone Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) Thyroid hormone Growth hormone Melatonin The process of hormone production and release is regulated by other hormones, by nerve signals and by signals from the target organ. Information regarding each hormone level is fed back to the originating gland, which then responds accordingly, this process is called biofeedback. The amount of hormone whether it be in excess amounts, or in inadequate amounts – disrupts the hormone balance in turn creating symptoms like the following:

Acne Breast swelling Depression Fatigue Fibrocystic breasts Food cravings Headaches Heavy or irregular menses Loss of libido PMS Sleep disturbances Unwanted hair growth Uterine fibroid Water retention Weight gain Studies on stress show that stress causes disease and aging.
