DHEA Complete 100 mg /2 5 mg

Product Details

Life Extension has been investigating DHEA for almost 30 years. Life Extensions DHEA directions for use are specially drafted to provide optimal, but safe dosing. The standard blood test to evaluate DHEA status is one that measures DHEA sulfate levels (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate or DHEA-S). The DHEA-S is calculated in micrograms per deciliter (g/dL) of blood. A DHEA-S blood test may be taken three to six weeks after initiating a DHEA supplementation regimen to help determine optimal dosing. When having your blood tested for DHEA-S, blood should be drawn three to four hours after the last dose. DHEA testing may save you money if it shows you can take less DHEA to maintain youthful DHEA serum levels. Because of the overwhelming evidence connecting low levels of DHEA to problems associated with aging, Life Extension suggests that all people over age 40 begin DHEA therapy. For most people, the starting dose of DHEA is between 1575 mg, taken in one daily dose. Many studies have used a daily dose of 50 mg. Since almost everyone over age 3540 has lower than optimal levels of DHEA, most people begin supplementation ... and then test their blood DHEA levels later to make sure they are taking the proper dose. Normal serum reference ranges and ideal ranges of DHEA-S are: Normal Ideal Men 280-640 μ/dL 500-640 μ/dL Women 65-380 μ/dL 250-380 μ/dL People over age 40 who do not supplement with DHEA usually have serum levels below 200 g/dL, and many are below 100 g/dL since a steady decline takes place after the third decade in life
