DHEA: the hormone that shapes women's beauty and sexuality

Dehydroepiandrosterone is considered the parent of other hormones, because in many ways it controls and stimulates their production in a woman's body.

What is DHEA responsible for?

In a woman's body, the level of DHEA is actively decreasing after 25 years. By age 50 level hormone below the norm by 50%, and at 75 years old a woman receives only about 20% of the substance she needs.

Partly due to DHEA deficiency, a woman in adulthood feels many unpleasant symptoms of aging: the body's protective function decreases, problems begin with heart and blood vessels, the metabolism slows down.

In addition, a lack of this hormone increases the risk of developing diabetes and osteoporosis, and the skin looks much worse without it.

Finally, DHEA affects both a woman's fertility and her libido.

Why DHEA Deficiency Occurs

Deficiency of this hormone is most often not even associated with all sorts of diseases, quite regularly too little sleep (3-4 hours a day), work too much and be under stress 24/7 7.

You can check your hormone levels using a special blood test. If you don't have enough of it, your doctor will prescribe supplements that will raise your DHEA concentration over time. Remember that it is strictly forbidden to take hormonal substances on your own without consulting a doctor. Be healthy!
