Sci-Fit DHEA Dehydroepiandrosterone is a natural substance produced in the adrenal glands, gonads and brain. DHEA is a steroid hormone and its blood serum levels peak at age 25 and decline steaddily over time to less than 20% of that peak by age 70. DHEA has androgenic activity, it is converted in the adrenal gland into other adrogenic substances such as androstenediol, androstenedione and testosterone. Furthermore, some studies have shown evidence that DHEA may have benefits against joint pain (Lupus) and may improve memory and mood. DHEA as a hormone replacement therapy after menopause has met with some success.What is DHEA?DHEA is short for dehydroepiandrosterone (D-hi-dro-epp-E-an-dro-ster-own), a hormone made by the adrenal glands located just above the kidneys. Scientists have known about this hormone since 1934. More than 150 hormones are made by the adrenal glands. However, the most abundant hormone made by the adrenal glands is DHEA. After DHEA is made by these glands it goes into the bloodstream, and from then on it travels all over the body and goes into our cells where it is converted into male hormones, known as androgens, and female hormones, known as estrogens. Small amounts of DHEA are also made in the brain by neurons (brain cells).
