Who should take DHEA?
Most people over 30 have DHEA levels well below their levels from only a few years before. For many of these people, DHEA supplementation offers the promise of a more youthful body and an improved life. However, men with prostate enlargement or prostate cancer and women on estrogen therapy should consult a physician before taking DHEA, because DHEA is converted into androgens and estrogen in the body, and will have an impact on the levels of those hormones. Do not take DHEA if you are pregnant or nursing.
