DHEA
DHEA in Women
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands in women, derived from cholesterol. Often referred to as the “mother hormone,” DHEA serves as a precursor to key female sex hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, playing a vital role in the body’s metabolic processes.
Women typically have optimal DHEA levels in their 20s, but these levels gradually decline with age. By the time women reach 70, DHEA levels can decrease by as much as 80%. While this age-related decline is natural, the reduction in DHEA due to chronic stress and adrenal fatigue is not. Prolonged stress can exhaust the adrenal glands, leading to both low cortisol and low DHEA levels. Addressing and preventing adrenal fatigue can help mitigate this decline.
