DHEA has been used in the treatment of PCOS. Many Holistic MDs prescribe it in low dosages to balance hormones. DHEA is a natural steroid and precursor hormone produced by the adrenals. It is available at health food stores and on-line as an over-the-counter supplement. Manufacturers like to sell it as a magic cure for many things:like muscle loss, weight loss, osteoporosis, and depression and menopause. Recently the media have linked DHEA to athletes and with steroids, which has caused a lot of confusion about DHEA, its role in the body, and how it should be used. There are some very real benefits of DHEA, particularly for women, and they are getting lost in all the frenzy in the media.
For the women who need it, adrenal support with DHEA supplementation can make a big difference. It has helped some women feel like they can function again and enjoy life. When used appropriately DHEA is a critical component to revise hormonal balance.
