DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a naturally occurring hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands. It acts as a precursor to both testosterone and estrogen, allowing the body to convert it into the hormones it needs. DHEA levels peak in early adulthood and decline with age, often more significantly during perimenopause and post-menopause.
AgelessRx offers DHEA in three delivery forms — Pill, Cream, and Vaginal Suppository — to address different symptoms and goals.
Why Does DHEA Decline?
DHEA naturally declines with age. Lower DHEA levels may contribute to:
- Low libido
- Fatigue
- Mood changes
- Vaginal dryness
- Shifts in metabolic health
Key Benefits of DHEA
- Supports sexual health, including libido and vaginal dryness
- Improves energy, mood, and mental clarity
- Supports healthy body composition and metabolic function
- May improve insulin sensitivity and lipid profile
- Supports bone density and muscle preservation
- May enhance immune function and reduce inflammation
- May support adrenal function during chronic stress
Delivery Forms
Pill: A daily oral capsule. Supports systemic DHEA levels throughout the body.
Cream: A topical cream applied externally to directed areas.
Vaginal Suppository: Inserted vaginally at bedtime. Particularly effective for vaginal dryness and genitourinary symptoms.
Monitoring
Because DHEA is a precursor to other hormones, your hormone levels should be monitored to guide dosing and assess your response. Effects may vary depending on your baseline hormone levels.
How Long Will I Be on DHEA?
There is no set limit on the duration of treatment. Your provider will evaluate your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed over time.
