DHEA 25 mg, Pure Encapsulations Micronized adrenal hormone DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone, is the most abundant adrenal steroid hormone in the body. After it is made by the adrenal glands, it travels into cells throughout the body where it is converted into androgens and estrogens. These hormones regulate fat and mineral metabolism, endocrine and reproductive function, and energy levels. The amount of each hormone that DHEA converts to depends on an individual's biochemistry, age, and sex. DHEA levels peak around age 25 and then decline steadily. DHEA supplementation has been associated with increased emotional well-being and immune function. Pure Encapsulations DHEA is micronized to increase absorption. It is made with 99% pure, pharmaceutical grade DHEA. Suggested Use 1 capsule per day, with a meal. Not to be taken by pregnant or lactating women.  Supplement Facts   Container Size 180 VegiCaps   Serving Size 1 Vegi Cap   Amount Per 1 Vegi Cap Content %DV     DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone, C19H28O2) (micronized) 25 mg   vitamin C (as ascorbyl palmitate) (hypo-allergenic plant fiber added to complete capsule volume requirement) 3 mg   % Daily Values (DV) are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. * Daily Value (DV) not established.
