DHEA, Anti-Aging hormone replacement therapy

There are a plethora of hormone treatments and anti-aging regiments on the market, but perhaps one of the most promising hormone replacement therapies is the use of DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) and anti-aging hormone replacement.

Researchers at the National Institute of Health, National Institute of Aging and other major research facilities are aggressively looking at this hormone for all the benefits that it may hold. DHEA is important to the development and health of every system in the body. It is so important in fact, that it is the most abundant hormone in the body. Though DHEA is present throughout life, the amount of it present declines significantly as people age.

DHEA and anti-aging seem like a natural match. People who use DHEA often report a feeling of well-being and heath. It has been suggested that DHEA may combat cancer, cardiovascular disease, and immunological deficiencies. While research on these qualities is slim at this point there is evidence that the lack of DHEA may be a marker in some disease and conditions. Further, research on animals suggests that it extends the life and health of laboratory animals. It has been hypothesized that DHEA and anti-aging studies may find links between the use of DHEA and the lessoning of many age related conditions.

• For example, DHEA may help treat autoimmune deficiencies, chronic fatigue, osteoporosis and menopausal symptoms to name a few.
• Naturally occurring DHEA helps to regulate hormone production including sex hormones. The use of DHEA may be especially beneficial for menopausal women because of this effect.
• Hormones can increase libido, keep the vagina subtle and reduce health risks associated with the loss of estrogen and progesterone including weakening bones and incidence of cardiovascular disease.
• While the verdict is still out on the benefits of supplementing DHEA in humans, most indicators suggest DHEA and anti-aging treatments may yield huge benefits.
