DHEA

for years this supplement was touted as the fountain of youth, helping to offset aging. It is true that as we age, our DHEA levels decline along with estrogen or testosterone. It has also been reported to be helpful in a variety of autoimmune conditions. I believe that DHEA can be of use when an individual has low levels of DHEA. However I think it is not wise to supplement with DHEA unless you have confirmed the fact that your levels are low and in need of supplementation. Taking a supplement that can increase hormone levels is a double edged sword. If you need it then it may be extremely helpful to supplement. If you do not need it, you may run the risk of increasing hormone levels to a point where you could cause abnormal growth in your body.
