WHAT DOES DHEA DO?DHEA is an important hormone that, some experts believe, helps reduce the effects of aging. Our DHEA levels peak in our 20s and then decline with age. Even though DHEA is manufactured naturally in the body, production decreases significantly over time which is why some people can benefit from DHEA supplements. These supplements were taken off the market in 1985 because of claims that the hormone did not really have any benefits, but was reintroduced in the United States by 1994 as a nutritional supplement.Alternative health and wellness practitioners now recommend DHEA hormone supplementation for people suffering from depression, the effect of menopause, and even obesity.Researchers at the Mayo Clinic conducted a two-year study on men and women to determine how DHEA supplementation helped improve muscle strength, muscle mass and reduce fat accumulation. Results of the study showed that people taking DHEA supplements did not lose any muscle mass or strength over the course of the two years.
