DHEA capsules, taken once daily every morning

About this medicine

DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a naturally occurring hormone primarily produced by the adrenal glands. It serves as a precursor for essential hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. DHEA levels peak in early adulthood and decline with age, contributing to various physiological changes. DHEA is used to support hormone balance, energy levels, and overall well being.

Months 0-2 : Most individuals can notice subtle but positive changes in energy levels and mood as their body begins adjusting to the hormonal support provided by DHEA.

Months 2-4: The benefits become more noticeable, including enhanced libido, sharper mental clarity, and a boost in vitality. By this stage, most users report feeling more balanced, focused, and energised in their daily lives.
