DHEA/Pregnenolone capsule

The adrenal glands secrete hormones such as cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone that are essential to health and vitality and significantly affect total body function. Anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant adrenal hormones like cortisol help to minimize allergic and negative reactions, such as cancer and autoimmune disorders. After mid-life, the adrenal glands gradually become the major endogenous source of sex hormones in both men and women. Intense or prolonged physical or emotional stress commonly associated with modern lifestyles or chronic illness can lead to adrenal insufficiency, which is an important contributing factor in health conditions ranging from allergies to obesity.

These hormones closely affect the utilization of carbohydrates and fats, the conversion of fats and proteins into energy, and cardiovascular and gastrointestinal functions. Proper adrenal support is essential to complete the hormonal pathway to optimal health, and includes proper nutrition, getting plenty of sleep, regular moderate exercise, stress management, slowing down to regain a proper perspective on life and replacement of deficient hormones.

DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) or 'the mother hormone' is secreted by the adrenal cortex and a steroid precursor of androgens and estrogens. This is commonly prescribed to help strengthen the immune system, promote weight loss, increase strength, and improve energy levels. It is also used for the treatment of lupus, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer disease.

Pregnenolone is a steroid hormone commonly prescribed as a medication to help improve energy, vision, memory, mental clarity, overall well-being, libido, and more. This hormone is sometimes considered the 'father' of all hormones because it is a precursor hormone from which all other hormones are produced. Hormones are produced by the body from cholesterol and thereafter turned in to pregnenolone. From there, hormones such as Progesterone (made from cortisol) and DHEA (needed for Testosterone production) can be produced.
