DHEA write up by my Doc (Dr. F Smith)

Can DHEA Help Restore Your Youth? (And If Not, What Can?)





Dr. Smith's Comments
In my practice I "prescribe" a lot of DHEA. However, I do not recommend it without testing levels first. Problems are usually only encountered when doses are too high.
Be advised of the warnings, as reported above, but taking DHEA can be very beneficial under the right circumstances. It is known that DHEA levels fall as we age and that persons who retain higher levels have better quality of health in many ways. Low levels are sometimes associated with adrenal insufficiency or fatigue. Supplementation can help them recover more quickly.
It is easy to have levels checked. Blood testing is accurate and inexpensive. Saliva testing can afford more information because it couples cortisol measurements at four points during the day, thus providing a fuller evaluation of the adrenal function.
