Is Dhea effective?
There is some scientific evidence that taking DHEA supplements might help some people with depression; improve the appearance of older peoples skin; reduce vaginal dryness in older women, and improve some mens ability to achieve an erection. There is also some evidence that DHEA can help decrease the symptoms of lupus. Although older people sometimes try DHEA for improving thinking, it doesnt seem to work for this use. There isnt enough information to know if DHEA is effective for the other conditions people use it for including: prevention of heart disease, breast cancer, preventing aging, and diabetes; and treatment of Alzheimers disease and Parkinsons disease.
