Andropause and DHEA are a medical condition and a cure paving the way for a steady recovery.

A lack of
DHEA, known as Dehydroepianodrosterone in medical circles, is directly correlated with impotence in
men.

This is also referred to as erectile dysfunction. Quite simply, the more DHEA there is in your body – the
better off you are. It acts as a replenisher – pumping life into various processes such as lowering
cholesterol levels, reducing fat, and regulating healthy blood pressure. DHEA is synonymous with
versatility – it simply branches out throughout your body serving as a cleaner and a regulator.

The effects of Andropause can be effectively reduced by using DHEA as a hormonal supplement.
Produced in the adrenal glands, Dehydroepianodrosterone is responsible for producing chemicals that
influence the growth of testosterone in the body. Used as a dietary supplement, DHEA can do wonders
for you. The enhancement of memory, stamina build up, and increased levels of libido can restore a man
back to his natural state. It is a great treatment for men with erectile dysfunction, a common symptom
of Andropause as well.

There have been plenty of tests using DHEA and placebos where libido and erectile function improved
significantly in the men using this hormone than those that didn't. It has been said that low levels of
DHEA is linked with a speeded up aging process. Before research efforts were placed into discovering
more about this hormone, it was associated with helping in weight loss. Tests done on mice in
laboratories showed that DHEA controlled their levels of obesity. Soon after, it was associated with a
slew of other health benefits.

Bodybuilding enthusiasts should look closely into making DHEA part of their nutritional supplement
regimen. The hormone plays a part in helping grow muscle mass (similar to the same rate as other over
the counter products such as creatine and whey protein), reversing osteoporosis by building stronger
bones and strengthening bone tissue, and regulating sex hormones in both men and women (estrogen
and testosterone.) It works along the same plane as human growth hormone, another anti-aging drug
given to Andropause sufferers in particular

As stated previously, hormones are not synthetic. There are human derived hormones that are packaged
in capsules and pills and sold to the general public to increase the amount of hormone already present
in the body. The production of DHEA in the adrenal glands is highest during the childhood and teenage
years, trailing off later on during mid-life. Men produce more of this hormone than women, and senior
citizens around the age of 65 have the lowest levels of all.

Consuming harmful substances can derail the production of DHEA, such as drinking Sprite, Coca-Cola, or
other caffeine-packed beverages. Drink a bottle of mineral water and hold off on the Fanta next time!
Other things that influence the levels of DHEA in the body are lack of exercise and stress. Basically, any
activity that promotes aging will result in drop off levels. Jump on that treadmill, release that excess
stress, and maintain your already decreasing amounts of this vital hormone!

Combat Andropause by using DHEA as a hormonal supplement. If you take too much, your body will
stop producing its own natural amount. An excess of DHEA can skyrocket your levels of testosterone,
amplifying your male features. Not a good idea for women who want to maintain their female
attributes. It is always wise to take proper safety precautions when consuming any hormone
supplement or drug. Remember, recent studies have shown that too much Vitamin E can cause heart
failure. Did you think vitamins were care-free and harmless? Think again!
