DHEA, short for dehydroepiandrosterone, is a steroid hormone produced mainly by the adrenal glands, but also by the gonads, the brain, and the skin, that is essential for optimal health. DHEA levels decline in a straight line as we age and it is seen as the biological marker for aging, as the people with the highest levels seem to have the greatest longevity.
