DHEA is a potent steroid hormone that should be utilized with care as neither science nor
medicine has a full understanding of how it metabolizes into estrogens, androgens, and
other hormones.
A color brochure entitled DHEA Therapy is being circulated among health practitioners
which states: "DHEA is very safe because the body knows how and where to use it for
optimum health, and seems to basically ignore the DHEA if it doesn't need it. "This
statement is highly misleading!
No long term studies on humans have been conducted using this steroid nor do medical
practitioners fully agree as to the dosage levels considered to be safe or effective.
What is known is that DHEA therapy is not suitable nor necessary for patients under 40
years of age unless low DHEA blood serum levels are confirmed. Further, DHEA appears to be
of little benefit in promoting weight loss nor is it effective for muscle enhancement in
those under 40 years of age, two areas in which DHEA has been heavily touted by
unscrupulous promoters.
This Report has been prepared for client use to separate clinical facts from media hype
regarding DHEA therapy.
