DHEA: Dehydroepiandrosterone
After the age of 40, stresses of life can impair your ability to make sufficient DHEA. DHEA is important to make other hormones in the body, for healthy immune function, muscle and bone strength, maintaining energy and for keeping the belly flat. One should have their DHEA level checked by an Anti-Aging professional and if levels are low receive adequate doses to achieve a healthy level [too little and too high can both be harmful]. ~ Dr. M
