DHEA 5 mg Dissolvable Tablets is a hormone support dietary supplement manufactured by Douglas Laboratories, providing 5 mg of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone, micronized) per serving in a dissolvable tablet format.
DHEA is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands and serves as a precursor to other important steroid hormones, including estrogens such as estradiol, and testosterone. It also acts as an antagonist to glucocorticosteroid hormones and has its own biological functions independent of its precursor role. DHEA is involved in a variety of physiological processes, including immune function, brain function, bone metabolism, blood lipid metabolism, energy metabolism, the regulation of normal blood sugar and insulin levels, and the maintenance of lean body mass.
The product is formulated as a dissolvable tablet. Each tablet is bisected, allowing half-tablet dosing as directed by a healthcare professional.
