DHEA

DHEA deficiency is associated with an array of chronic conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, coronary disease, and immune deficiencies. DHEA also directly affects glucose metabolism. High blood glucose inhibits growth hormone (GH) and low blood glucose stimulates growth hormone. Stimulation of growth hormone is beneficial to DHEA, because it suppresses insulin. Thus, the importance of DHEA in intense exercise and endurance training can hardly be overemphasized. Clinical results show that supplementing with DHEA can have beneficial effects including increases in physical and psychological health. It helps improve muscle mass, strength, feelings of energy and well-being, insulin sensitivity, and cognitive ability.
