It is a necessary building block for a variety of compounds manufactured in the human body. It is believed that as we age, the progressive deficiency of this hormone may be associated with the symptoms of aging.

body’s processes and some of the problems of aging caused by the runaway production of nucleic acid, fats and hormones. DHEA regulates their production and thereby may slow down aging. DHEA may have a significant impact on fat loss & lean body mass.
