DHEA 25mg, 100 Caps, Life Extension
DHEA promotes optimal hormone levels. It has been shown that the hormone DHEA often declines by age 70 or later, leading to hormonal imbalances that can affect quality of life. Peak blood levels of DHEA occur at approximately age 25, decreasing progressively thereafter. Scientists have been looking at ways of restoring DHEA to youthful levels, and are now discovering mechanisms by which this hormone protects against age-related decline. 99.9% purity (European-derived DHEA) Micronized (for maximum absorption and utilization) Manufactured under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) conditions For men attempting to restore DHEA to youthful levels, they should know their serum PSA (prostate specific antigen) level and have passed a digital rectal exam. Men with prostate cancer or severe benign prostate disease are advised to avoid DHEA since it can be converted into testosterone (and estrogen). Therefore, men are advised to have a PSA and digital rectal exam before initiating DHEA to rule out existing prostate disease. For men taking DHEA we also recommend taking the following other nutrients: Vitamin E 400 IU daily Selenium 200mcg daily Super Absorbable Soy Isoflavones 55.5mg daily Gamma E Tocopherol with Sesame Lignans 200mg daily Lycopene Extract 20-40mg daily Saw Palmetto Extract 160mg twice daily Pygeum Extract 50mg twice daily Nettle Extract 120mg twice daily Boron 3-10mg daily It is important for men over 40 to consult their physician to check their PSA and DHEA-S serum levels every six to twelve months thereafter. Men should also periodically check their blood levels for free testosterone and estrogen to make sure that DHEA is following a youthful metabolic pathway. For women taking DHEA we also recommend taking the following other nutrients to maintain a healthy balance: Melatonin 300mcg nightly Vitamin E 400-800 IU daily Indole-3-carbinol 200mg daily Vitamin D3 1000-1400 IU daily Gamma Tocopherol
