Research on DHEA Complete

Studies have shown that DHEA can have a range of health benefits. A small prospective study showed that 6 months of DHEA replacement therapy with 50 mg per day increased lean mass in older individuals compared to controls who did not receive DHEA. Other studies of DHEA regimens in women suggest beneficial effects on well-being, mood, and sexuality. Studies also show that DHEA can relieve melancholy and may also benefit the aging brain.

The Importance of Maintaining DHEA Levels

The peak of DHEA in the blood occurs at about 25 years of age and gradually decreases thereafter. Restoring circulating levels of DHEA to those found in young people has a range of health benefits and can even improve overall well-being and sexual function.

Product Information

DHEA is the body's most abundant circulating hormone. Supplementing with healthy levels of DHEA can help support immune function, circulatory health, mood and well-being, healthy body weight and muscle mass, libido, and more.

DHEA Complete contains both regular DHEA (25 mg) and 7-Keto® DHEA (100 mg), as well as resveratrol and antioxidant extracts from curcumin, green tea, and whole red grapes. 7-Keto® DHEA has been shown to promote cells' efficient use of stored energy sources and promote healthy body composition.

Body Composition, Mood, and More

In a small prospective study, 6 months of DHEA replacement therapy with 50 mg per day showed improved increases in lean mass in 18 older individuals compared to controls who did not receive DHEA. Other studies of DHEA regimens in women suggest beneficial effects on well-being, mood, and sexuality. Studies also show that DHEA can relieve melancholy and may also benefit the aging brain.

Cardiovascular and Structural Health

DHEA has the ability to improve vascular health through a number of complex processes. One of them is increasing nitric oxide synthesis. DHEA has also been shown to support a healthy circulatory system and joint/bone health. In a randomized, double-blind, controlled study of 225 healthy older adults, one year of DHEA supplementation (50 mg per day) helped protect the lumbar spine in women.

Free Radical-Fighting Plant Extracts

This formula also contains plant extracts known to protect against oxidative stress due to the effect 7-Keto® has on increasing mitochondrial activity. This includes extracts from green tea, resveratrol, and our proprietary Curcumin Elite™ turmeric extract. Curcumin Elite™ delivers high levels of bioavailable free curcuminoids, the active compound in turmeric that provides its health benefits - including the ability to quench free radicals and combat oxidative stress at the cellular level.

Usage and Safety Precautions for DHEA

When developing a personal and effective DHEA regimen, regular blood testing is recommended for both dosage accuracy and monitoring blood levels. Due to the overwhelming evidence linking low levels of DHEA to age-related factors, Life Extension suggests that most people over 40 years of age start with DHEA supplements. The starting supplement dose of DHEA for most people is 15 to 25 mg per day, although some may need higher doses to reach youthful levels.

This product contains 25 mg of DHEA per capsule.
