Zāo® DHEA 25 mg

Zāo^® DHEA is a dietary supplement to help maintain normal levels of the DHEA hormone.*

DHEA is an important adrenal hormone that supports healthy aging.* DHEA levels decline with age and adrenal stress. DHEA supports immune system and thyroid function, as well as memory and energy function.*

About DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone):

• DHEA is a steroid hormone produced from cholesterol by the adrenal glands. It is the most abundant steroid in the bloodstream and is present at even higher levels in brain tissue.
• DHEA is a precursor to many steroid sex hormones, including estrogen and testosterone. With age, DHEA production declines usually peaking between the ages of 25-30 and gradually falling to a decline of 90% by age 60.

   

How DHEA Works:

DHEA seems to support IGF-1 levels (insulin growth factor) and support decreased levels of cortisol.* IGF-1 is the hormone or growth stimulating metabolite produced by the metabolism of HGH, and is responsible for the beneficial effects of elevated human growth hormone. Cortisol is a stress hormone (HGH). With aging there is a decline in DHEA and an elevation in cortisol. High and prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream (like those associated with chronic stress) have been shown to have negative effects such as:

• Impaired cognitive performance suppressed thyroid function
• Blood sugar imbalances
• Decreased bone density and a decrease in muscle tissue
• Higher blood pressure and lowered immunity
