What Is It?
DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone, is the most abundant
adrenal steroid hormone in the body. After it is made by
the adrenal glands, it travels into cells throughout the
body where it is converted into androgens, estrogens and
other hormones. These hormones regulate fat and mineral
metabolism, endocrine and reproductive function, and
energy levels. The amount of each hormone that DHEA
converts to depends on an individual’s biochemistry,
age, and sex. DHEA levels peak around age 25 and then
decline steadily.*
Uses For DHEA
Immune Function: DHEA supplementation has been
shown to support healthy immune cell activity and immune
system function in several trials.*
Emotional Well-Being: Several studies suggest that DHEA
can enhance an overall sense of well-being. In one
randomized placebo-controlled cross-over trial, DHEA
supplementation for 6 months supported healthy physical
and psychological outlook in men and women between
the ages of 40-70 years.*
Lean Body Mass: Some studies involving men and
postmenopausal women suggest that DHEA administration
may support a healthy ratio of lean muscle to fat mass.*
Sexual Function Support: In a 6-month prospective,
double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study,
DHEA supplementation supported healthy male sexual
function.*
What Is The Source?
The compound diosgenin is extracted from wild yam and
undergoes a proprietary synthetic process to develop
DHEA. The human body cannot metabolize wild yam into
DHEA. This process can only take place in a laboratory.
Pure Encapsulations DHEA is micronized to increase
absorption. It is made with 99.38% pure, pharmaceutical
grade DHEA. Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) is derived
from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil. Hypoallergenic
plant fiber is derived from pine cellulose.

in divided doses, with meals, or as directed by your healthcare

that proper levels are maintained.
This product should not be taken by individuals with
healthy levels of DHEA.
