Youthful You DHEA 5 mg. - 60 Vegetarian Capsules Nature's Way

Where DHEA Comes from in Supplements
Enzymatic Therapy uses wild yams as their source of DHEA. Wild yams come in more than 600 varieties but only about 12 are edible because the rest are too bitter. Enzymatic Therapy uses those inedible yams and extracts a chemical from them called diosgenin. This chemical can be converted into DHEA in the lab and then used for supplements and nutritional additives. Because a lab is needed to convert diosgenin, one cannot simply eat wild yams to get the benefits of DHEA supplementation.

The Role of DHEA in the Body
DHEA is a precursor hormone to the male and female hormones in the body – estrogen and testosterone. Precursors are converted into hormones in the body. It is produced by the adrenal glands that sit above the kidneys and peaks in production in a person’s mid-20s. Scientists are not entirely sure of the role that DHEA plays in the body, but since it is a precursor hormone to estrogen and testosterone, and since those hormone levels decrease with age, it is theorized that DHEA supplements can increase those levels and act as a substitute.

Benefits of Taking a DHEA Supplement
There are many potential benefits to taking DHEA supplements, especially as one ages. Most of the benefits are centered on healthy aging but can also help those with certain issues even if they’re younger. Benefits can include building up the adrenal gland, strengthening the immune system, providing more energy, improving mood and memory and building up bone and muscle strength. Other benefits are broad and include issues such as preventing the development of Alzheimer’s or dementia and even keeping skin smooth and healthy with age.
