Haya Labs DHEA dietary supplement
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) - in the human body is a natural steroid hormone produced by the reticular layer of the adrenal cortex from cholesterol. Due to its similarity to testosterone and estradiol, it can easily be converted to either. Its production is thought to peak around the age of 35 and then decline, reaching trace amounts in the elderly. It has been observed that people with cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and depression have reduced DHEA production.
How does DHEA work in the body?
Some sources state that dehydroepiandrosterone supports the immune system through its antioxidant and anti-cancer effects and by raising the number of cells responsible for destroying bacteria and viruses. Previous studies prove that DHEA can help reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, so its protective effect on the central nervous system can be inferred. The hormone is also said to act as a neurotransmitter, is involved in memory processes, regulates mood and its use improves sleep quality.
It has been observed that decreasing DHEA concentrations in the body during the ageing process, correlate with an increase in the incidence of civilisation diseases such as diabetes, atherosclerosis and obesity. It has been shown that the higher the concentrations of dehydroepiandrosterone, the higher the concentration of the HDL ('good') cholesterol fraction and the lower the concentration of LDL ('bad') and total cholesterol. This is why it is thought that DHEA deficiency may contribute to an increased risk of metabolic syndrome with its components and cardiovascular disease.
Erectile dysfunction
A large group of men between the ages of 40 and 60 suffer from erectile dysfunction. This is mainly blamed on endocrine disorders, including decreasing DHEA concentrations with age. Clinical studies on men struggling with erectile dysfunction showed that supplementation with 50 mg of DHEA every day, for four months, had a positive effect on potency and sexual function in up to 90% of patients.
Use of DHEA in women
Clinical studies have noted that the use of DHEA is safer than estrogen therapy in menopausal women. Estrogen use is associated with an increased risk of breast and uterine cancer, which is not observed with dehydroepiandrosterone use. It is also thought that DHEA-deficient women are more likely to develop breast cancer.
Self-esteem
DHEA users report improved sleep quality, mood and increased resistance to stress. In addition, an increase in libido and sexual satisfaction has been noted in both men and women, which indirectly contributes to increased self-esteem, self-confidence and improved mood.
Osteoporosis
Supplementation with dehydroepiandrosterone has been proven to increase femoral bone mineral density. Fractures of this particular bone among the elderly, are associated with increased mortality. The prevalence of DHEA deficiency in patients with osteoporosis has been noted, and compensating for this deficiency increased bone density, which could have a beneficial effect in reducing the risk of fractures.
Sports performance
Supplements containing DHEA are often used by physically active people and athletes. There is a perception that, as 'prohormones', they can help to increase levels of steroid hormones such as testosterone, which can translate into increased muscle strength and improved sports performance.
