Effects of replacement dose of dehydroepiandrosterone in men and women of advancing age

This study examined men and women aged 40 to 70 who received a daily dose of DHEA for six months. Restoring DHEA to more youthful levels resulted in noticeable improvements in energy, mood, and overall sense of well-being, with more than two-thirds of participants feeling physically and emotionally better. Importantly, no significant side effects were reported, and measures such as body fat, insulin and cholesterol remained stable. The results suggest that DHEA can be a safe option that supports vitality and mental well-being as we age.
