Functions of DHEA
Functions as an androgen (a male hormone) with anabolic activity. Anabolic refers to the building or synthesis of tissues.
Is a precursor that is converted to testosterone (a male hormone). Is a precursor to estrogen (a female anabolic hormone)
Reverses immune suppression caused by excess cortisol levels, thereby improving resistance against viruses, bacteria and Candida albicans, parasites, allergies, and cancer.
Low levels of DHEA can also lead to low levels of Serotonin. Serotonin levels are associated with depression when they are low and some of the most popular antidepressants are targeted to increase Serotonin levels. DHEA does this naturally. We used to write hundreds of prescriptions for SSRI type antidepressants. We rarely prescribe them now. DHEA has such a rapid and positive effect that, more often than not, it is unnecessary to add a prescription antidepressant. Credible research has also found that in addition to helping depression and it's associated conditions, DHEA may be protective against Alzheimer's dementia and other memory problems.
DHEA (DiHydroEpiAndosterone) is what keeps us
sleeping during the later phases of normal sleep. DHEA is
also what drives most of the intensified dreaming,
memory consolidation, bodily repair and hormonal
recharging that peak during the later hours of sleep, even
while Melatonin production, and levels, are declining and
crashing.
