Description
DHEA is made by your adrenal glands and acts as a raw material for your sex hormones. Levels peak in your mid-20s and drop by roughly half by middle age. Some adults use DHEA to support energy, mood, libido and general vitality, and fertility specialists sometimes recommend it for certain women with low egg reserve. Because DHEA is a hormone, it works best and most safely when you know your levels. We recommend a DHEA-S blood test before you start, and a chat with our pharmacist.

How to take it
Take 1 capsule a day with a meal, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Do not take more than the recommended amount.
Good to know
DHEA is a hormone, so please speak to our pharmacist or your doctor before you start. Not for anyone under 18, or during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Do not use it if you have, or have a family history of, breast, womb, ovarian or prostate cancer, or if you have an enlarged prostate, heart disease or low HDL (‘good’) cholesterol. It is usually not suitable for women with PCOS, who often already have high DHEA levels. Possible side effects include acne, oily skin, hair loss, facial hair growth in women and irritability. Stop it and seek advice if you notice a racing heartbeat, dizziness or blurred vision. Only use it for fertility under the guidance of your fertility specialist.
