What is DHEA?

DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a natural hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands, with smaller amounts produced by the ovaries and testes. It is a precursor hormone, meaning your body uses it to create other essential hormones, primarily androgens (like testosterone) and estrogens (like estradiol).

It is often marketed as a dietary supplement, frequently with claims of being an “anti-aging” or “fountain of youth” hormone.
