How Does DHEA Work?

DHEA Declines with Age

Dehydroepiandrosterone is produced by the adrenal glands as a product of cholesterol metabolism. DHEA’s direct mechanism of action is unknown. DHEA levels begin to increase during puberty, peak by age 30, and then decline by about 10% each decade, plateauing around age 80. The age-related decline in DHEA is associated with a decrease in muscle mass and bone density. Both DHEA and testosterone are converted to the active androgen dihydrotestosterone in the peripheral tissues. Many changes associated with aging – such as reduced immune function, obesity, diabetes, and increased risk for cancer – are associated with decreasing levels of DHEA, according to animal studies.
