Breaking Research by Dr. Paul Cribb Ph.D. CSCS. AST Director of Research Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a pro-hormone that is converted to sex steroids such as testosterone. Many athletes take DHEA to boost testosterone levels that can speed fat loss and muscle gains from exercise. Some scientific evidence supports the use of DHEA for this purpose. A recent study on rodents demonstrated that the group given DHEA showed lower body fat, blood fats and insulin. The results lead the scientists to suggest that DHEA may have a role in improving body composition (more muscle and lower levels of body fat). Another recent study on adult humans showed that after six months, the participants taking 50 milligrams of DHEA each day had less stomach fat and improved insulin function compared a group given a placebo. This study used older adults (65-75 years), so we don’t know for sure if these results relate directly to younger adults. One thing is certain; none of us are getting older! Particularly you’re over 35 years old, DHEA may help boost your results from exercise. Breaking Research by Dr. Paul Cribb Ph.D. CSCS. AST Director of Research Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) facilitates better production of sex hormones to provide a more youthful hormonal profile. Secretion of DHEAS begins at age 10, peaks at age 20, and then gradually declines. Low DHEAS levels are common in men and women over the age of 40. Supplementation with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) (50mg/day) is shown to be highly effective at increasing DHEAS levels, particularly in men and women over 40. A recent study has shown that DHEA supplementation increased DHEAS in women over 40. The women supplementing with DHEA reported increased sexual thoughts and libido that was accompanied by a natural surge in testosterone levels. Aside from these benefits, DHEA supplementation is also shown to improve bone density and skin texture in older females. All these benefits add up to DHEA being a great supplement for women.
