Levels of DHEA in the blood are high in early adulthood, but these levels steadily decline thereafter. Studies indicate that maintaining optimal DHEA levels offers a variety of health benefits, including positive effects on mood and quality of life, maintaining lean muscle mass and more. Youthful circulating levels of DHEA support overall well-being and sexual function as well.

DHEA: usage & safety precautions
In order to develop a personalized, effective DHEA regimen, regular testing of blood levels is highly recommended to determine the proper and accurate dosage. Because of the overwhelming evidence connecting youthful levels of DHEA with healthy longevity, Life Extension suggests that most people over age 40 begin DHEA supplementation. The starting supplemental dose of DHEA for most people is 15 to 25 mg a day, though some people will require higher doses to reach youthful levels.
