DHEA is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands.
This hormone is a precursor to other sex hormones.
In addition to having its own hormone effect, it results in a shift to an anabolic or protein building state.
It reduces cardiovascular risk by increasing lipolysis or breakdown of fat.
It also stimulates the immune system, restores sexual vitality, improves mood, decreases cholesterol and body fat.
Recent studies point to DHEA as an anti-stress hormone, reversing the effects of stress on the immune system.
