DHEA Info - Anti Aging Miracle?
As we age our DHEA production falls dramatically. Low DHEA has been seen to correlate with a lot of age related problems and diseases.
Medical information shows that DHEA peaks around the age of 25 and then drops by 85-90% by the time a person reaches 70 years old.
DHEA is short for the tongue twisting word Dehydroepiandrosterone.
DHEA is the most abundant steroid hormone circulating in the human body and is present at even higher levels in brain tissue. In fact, brain tissue contains 5 to 6 times more DHEA than any other tissue in the human body. Dhea studies have shown that people with Alzheimer's disease have an overwhelming 48% less DHEA in their blood stream than do matched controls of the same age group.
DHEA is a “precursor” hormone – that is, it is the mother hormone that the body can convert into over 50 essential hormones, including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and cortisone to name a few. continue reading DHEA & Aging
