DHEA

DHEA has been called "The Mother of All Hormones."  It is, in a sense, the hormone from which all the sex hormones, estrogens and testosterones are created.  The process of hormones converting from one into another to meet momentary need has been referred to as "the Hormone Cascade."  While hormones each have their respective roles, they are all interrelated and hormonal manipulation should not be attempted randomly.

A recent law made it possible for hormones to be sold Over the Counter (OTC) in health food stores and DHEA was the first such product to come out.  It was sold as a great fat burner, energy enhancer, sex aid, and rejuvenator.  The fact is, most people taking high enough oral dosages of DHEA to have an effect were playing around with the Hormonal Cascade and were running the risk of some long term side effects.  If you do go for a serum DHEA test, and a medical practitioner with experience in hormonal therapy tells you your DHEA levels have declined, then and only then might supplementation be therapeutic.  If you attempt to elevate DHEA levels and you haven't suffered a decline in natural production, it is inevitable that other hormones along the cascade chain will be affected.

After DHEA became a hot seller, other "links in the chain," called "testosterone precursors" made their mark.  Find out about another popular seller, [Androstene].
