DHEA Akasha Naturals 10 mg 90 caps

DHEA is an endogenous hormone secreted by the adrenal gland and acts as a precursor for female and male sex hormones. DHEA is the most widely circulating steroid in the body and aids in numerous physiological functions ranging from immune system support, muscle building, cognitive function and memory, balancing cortisol levels to help alleviate stress on the body as well as helping with hormone and hormone metabolite production. The two adrenal hormones, DHEA and Cortisol, must stay in proper balance in order to maintain optimal health. If one’s body is inappropriately responding to prolonged physical and mental stress then an imbalance between these adrenal hormones can occur. Prolonged elevation of Cortisol to DHEA levels in the body can cause disruptions in glucose utilization, abdominal weight gain, compromised immune response, mineral imbalances and sleeplessness. Please seek a medical professional to have your adrenal hormone levels measured.
