DHEA + Pregnenolone - 60 Capsules
Great supplement for reproductive health and hormone.
DHEA may improve blood vessel function and reduce the risk for heart disease and blood sugar by lowering inflammation, supporting healthy metabolism, improving the use of glucose and insulin, and improving the production of sex hormones
DHEA supplements are not for everybody, and it’s important to follow directions carefully.
- People under the age of 30 should not use DHEA supplements unless they are specifically being told to do so by their doctor and are being monitored. That’s because younger people under 30 tend to produce enough DHEA on their own, and taking more has the potential to alter levels of other hormones. Since it is converted to other sex hormones, taking too much DHEA can cause symptoms like acne, irregular periods, fertility problems, facial hair growth in women, and elevated testosterone.
- Men being treated for prostate cancer should also not take DHEA, since a common way to treat and manage prostate cancer is to lower testosterone levels through medications. Taking extra DHEA can be counterproductive to this type of treatment and can slow recovery or cause side effects. Similarly, women being treated for breast cancer should also avoid DHEA supplements since it can increase estrogen, which is tied to a higher risk for breast cancer development.
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use DHEA because it affects sex hormones levels. For women looking to get pregnant in the near future, it’s best to get their doctor’s advice first.
- If you take any medications regularly (including blood thinners, anticonvulsants, hormone therapy, and drugs for diabetes and heart or liver problems) or you have an existing serious medical condition, always talk to your doctor before you start using DHEA supplements to err on the safe side.
