Dehydroepiandrosterone (Post-menopausal)

Optimal result: 10 – 120 ng/mg Creat/Day

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone predominantly produced in the adrenal glands which serves as precursor hormone for androstenedione and eventually estrone and testosterone. High levels of DHEA may be a result of the use of pregnenolone or DHEA supplementation. Additional research suggests DHEA elevations may also be due to PCOS, adult-onset adrenal hyperplasia, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and very rarely adrenal carcinoma.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone predominantly produced in the adrenal glands which serves as precursor hormone for androstenedione and eventually estrone and testosterone. DHEA naturally declines with age and under the influence of chronic and sub-chronic stress. Research suggests that low DHEA can manifest in cognitive decline; changes in libido, mood, and flexibility; and cardiovascular health.

"Living across several countries made keeping my lab results organized a real challenge. Healthmatters brought my results from the USA, Spain, and Germany together — 20 years of history, with long-term trends instead of scattered reports."

"Standard lab ranges are too wide for how I practice — 'normal' isn't optimal. I set my own bands, so a client sees yellow before a marker goes officially out of range. That's the conversation I want to be having."
