Why is DHEA so Important?
Hormonal balance is essential to the maintenance of good health and a strong Immune System. Researchers have recently discovered that a number of hormones from within the Endocrine System play a significant role with “T-cell markers” within the Immune System, most notably DHEA. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is commonly referred to as the mother hormone, since from it a number of other hormones may be manufactured on demand, such as estrogen, testosterone, progesterone and corticosterone. Researchers have seen an inverse correlation between DHEA levels and disease, meaning that the higher the level of DHEA in the blood, the less an organism may suffer from disease. Published studies have demonstrated that appropriate supplementation of DHEA could be a factor in decreasing the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, senility, Alzheimer’s disease, and premature death. DHEA has also shown the wonderful potential to actually slow the aging process. More and more scient
