Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)

NEWS:

Long-term study links DHEAS to longevity in men “The amount of DHEAS that a man has in his blood is a "strong predictor" how long he will live, a new report from a 27-year study conducted in Japan suggests. The adrenal glands secrete DHEAS, or dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, a "pre-hormone," which the body converts into androgens and estrogens, Dr. Mika Enomoto and colleagues from Kurume University School of Medicine and colleagues explain. Levels of DHEAS peak during a person's 20s and 30s and then sharply decline. Animal research has found the hormone has a number of anti-aging effects, they add, and some studies in humans have linked DHEAS levels to longevity, while others have not.“
