the
promise of hormones
DHEA's ability to increase
libido, burn fat and slow the aging process may be reason enough to consider
taking the supplement. But in addition to those, DHEA could also help you
prevent and fight cancer. New research on DHEA is giving hope to many cancer
patients. While studies are still navigating its positive and negative benefits,
scientists are finally taking notice of the healing power of this natural
hormone.
What is DHEA?
DHEA stands for dehydroepiandrosterone. It is a hormone produced in the adrenal
glands. The body produces varying quantities of DHEA throughout one's life,
converting it to the major sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. Once
regarded as a buffer hormone, scientists had believed that DHEA was involved
only in the production of these hormones. New research, however, has found that
DHEA-specific receptors exist in many cells throughout the body and aid in
numerous functions, including possibly helping you to prevent and fight cancer.
Sometimes referred to as the "Anti-Aging Hormone," DHEA is the only
hormone to decline linearly with age in both sexes. Because the natural
production of DHEA in the body peaks around age 25, scientists correlated the
waning of this hormone with several kinds of age-related diseases. The reason
for this decrease is that the endocrine glands begin to shrink, thereby limiting
the amount of DHEA your body can naturally produce. Based on a number of blood
tests, anyone over the age of 40 who does not supplement their naturally
occurring DHEA levels is already deficient by that age. By age 80, our bodies
produce only 10 percent of the DHEA produced at age 20.
