DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is
one of the most exciting and talked about new supplements on the market today.
New research has uncovered the remarkable role and possible benefits of
increased levels of DHEA in the body.
WHAT IS DHEA?
DHEA is a steroid hormone produced in the body by the adrenal glands. Hormones
are small powerful molecules that influence every cell in the body and are
necessary for proper health and even life itself. Health disorders can occur
when the ratio of hormones becomes out of balance. Therapeutic use has proven
hormones to be among the most effective biological agents in treating an endless
number of adversities in the body.
Until recently, the role of DHEA
in the body was uncertain. Thought to be nothing more than a "buffer hormone,"
DHEA was considered to serve only in the production of other hormones.
Scientists now have learned that body cells have DHEA receptors meaning the
hormone has a specific role in the body. While it is similar in structure to
testosterone, progesterone and estrogen, DHEA has an endless number of functions
in the biological spectrum.
The latest research dedicated to
DHEA suggests the hormone may be a great benefit in treating an array of health
problems while relatively free of side effects. The therapeutic value of DHEA is
being applied to the preventative measures and treatment for conditions such as
cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, cancer, Alzheimer's
disease, immune disorders and chronic fatigue. The hormone is also being
explored for potential benefits in the aging process.
Of particular interest is the
effect of DHEA on the burning of fat in the body. Laboratory use suggests that
DHEA may be the only substance which could actually reduce the level of fat in
the body without a change in the diet. DHEA appears to have the ability to
convert consumed calories into heat rather than allowing them to be stored as
fat. While it bums the fat, DHEA may also promote lean muscle tissue.
The role of DHEA may also be of
interest to athletes. Research has shown a direct connection between the level
of DHEA and other hormones such as testosterone in the body. It appears that as
DHEA levels are increased in the body, the production of other hormones is
elevated.
DHEA levels in the body peak at
around age 20 and begin to drop in most individuals from that point on. It is
estimated that by age 80, DHEA levels drop by approximately 95%. DHEA is the
only hormone to decline in linear fashion in both sexes. Studies suggest that as
DHEA levels drop, medical problems increase. For this reason, many scientists
feel DHEA is the most dominant hormone in the body. Despite a lack of knowledge
in the past, increased research on DHEA may prove invaluable in the search of
cures for the ills that plague mankind.
