HPLC Verified
Found naturally in the body, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) usually
reaches peak levels in early adulthood, then steadily decreases every year
afterward. Natrol® DHEA contains the highest quality
available in supplement form.*
Making sure you use the proper amount of DHEA is essential for best
results. Each Natrol® DHEA tablet contains 50 mg precisely verified
by the High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) technique.*

PLEASE READ BEFORE USING NATROL DHEA
Investigators interested in the biology of aging have increasingly focused
their attention on the steroids dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and DHEA
sulfate (DHEAS). When consumed, DHEA is metabolized in the liver, and a
significant percentage is converted to DHEAS.
The interest in DHEA and DHEAS stems from observations that circulating
levels of these hormones exert beneficial actions but exhibit a unique
age-related decline. Therefore, some changes associated with aging are
postulated to be due to a relative decline in circulating DHEA and DHEAS.
Secretion of DHEA from the adrenal cortex is very high in a fetus, drops
sharply after birth to very low levels in childhood, rises again before
puberty and reaches peak levels in young adulthood. It has been conclusively
shown that during adulthood DHEA and DHEAS levels in both sexes decrease at
a relatively constant rate of 2% per year. Hence, at age 80 levels are only
about 20% of those at age 25.
At all ages, the interindividual variability is very high, and thus the
normal range of serum levels is extensive. For example, one man at age 65
could have levels three times higher than another man of identical age.
SUPPLEMENTATION WITH DHEA:
The objective of supplementation with DHEA is to maintain levels
approximating those occurring during early adulthood. However, excessive
amounts of DHEA can have undesirable effects. Therefore, it is important to
ensure that the amount of DHEA consumed is not excessive.
HAVE YOUR DHEA LEVEL MEASURED BEFORE USE:
In order to determine if supplementation is appropriate, and if appropriate,
the amount to be consumed, DHEA levels should be measured by a physician.
Following the commencement of DHEA supplementation, periodic testing of DHEA
and DHEAS levels should be checked to ensure that the optimum level is being
reached and to avoid ingestion of excessive amounts.
