Fighting Age with DHEA by J. Bowler

on the heart is still undecided.

DHEA is also proven to help some lupus suffers.

As with all hormone therapies, the experts warn that the long term

risks are unknown. There is concern that DHEA may cause or worsen

heart conditions or cause or accelerate prostate cancer or other

tumors.

The hormone is available as a supplement and not patentable, so no research is likely to be done by the

pharmaceutical industry. As a matter of fact, DHEA was briefly banned

in the US, but is now legal, to the chagrin of many doctors.

Other physicians feel that a dosage up to 50 mg a day would probably

not be harmful. But even they call for more studies.

DHEA is probably not needed before the age of 40. A blood test can be

used to establish if you are suffering from a deficiency.

There is nothing to prevent anyone from buying and taking DHEA. There

are many short term benefits and long term hazards, if any, have not

yet been proven.

If you feel you might benefit from DHEA, consult a qualified physician

first. This article is for informational purposes only. It does not purport to offer medical advice.
