For Women Only

Natural DHEA Creme

 If you love being a woman, you’ll love reading this short article. I’m going to talk about DHEA and how it can help you IF you’re a woman.

DHEA is the most common hormone in the body and is produced mainly by the adrenal glands, and to a lesser degree, elsewhere in the body (including fat cells).

Now if you have not been getting my handouts, you are probably asking yourself:

What is DHEA?

Dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, is a hormone synthesized from cholesterol and secreted by the adrenal glands. The adrenals are walnut-sized organs located right above your kidneys. The average adult makes about 25 mg of DHEA per day (some more, some less) with dwindling production as we get older. Men at all ages have more DHEA than women.

Natural DHEA production is at its highest in your twenties: by the time we reach seventy… we only make about 20% of the DHEA we had when we were young.

Another reason is that DHEA is a very powerful precursor to all of your major sex hormones: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. (Its molecular structure is closely related to testosterone). We call it the “mother hormone” — the source that fuels the body’s metabolic pathway: Low DHEA levels are associated with a host of diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, inflammation and Alzheimer's. Get your DHEA crème at the front desk and change how you feel.
