The Health Benefits Of DHEA Supplement Include Alleviating Depression, Menopause Hormonal Balance And Improvement In Insulin Sensitivity.
DHEA is a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands and declines its presence in the body human as you age. Hormones simply put are delicate operational factors and co-factors and precursors, whose balance has to be fairly precise for the body to operate as nature intended.
Consequently the use of DHEA is better managed via consultation with a health-care professional to avoid possibilities of imbalancing natural body functions.
DHEA has been proven clinically safe to use and here are a number of healthy benefits to its credit, that the alternative health therapies arena could salvite over.
Announcement:
We are a big fan of the basic Simpleology time management and planning materials.
I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.
It covers:
- The best blogging techniques.
- How to get traffic to your blog.
- How to turn your blog into money.
I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.
End of announcement.
Fat-loss and Insulin Resistance.
In a sudy of human subjects, with very low levels of DHEA and average age of 69, researchers from the School of Medicine at Washington University, looked at the effects of DHEA on excessive abdominal fat and insulin resistance. Half the group of the 60 subjects were administered a daily dosage of 50mg of DHEA and the rest a placebo.
The results were a significant improvement in insulin sensitivity among the ones taking DHEA, as indicated by the oral glucose tolerance tests, and none in the placebo group. Furthermore, there was a significant loss of both abdominal fat and the fat around muscles in the DHEA recepients, without any bad side effects. The “fat” part of the study might well be why body builders and some sports people partake of this stuff from time to time. By the way that clinical research spanned a full six months.
DEPRESSION.
The next area of interest which predictably perhaps, has been pathologized, and evidence abounds, by those who do not have a “patient’s” interest at the fore-front. That is the area of something called Depression, which will see a number of posts on this site in due course.
Depression assessment markers were determined prior to a clinical research study, then also midway of the study and at the end. This was carried out by the National Institute Of Health circa 2005, on a group of fifty subjects, with a view to determine the precise effects if any of DHEA on depression. The subjects divided into two groups, with one receiving placebos for the entire time interval of the study. The other group took 90 mg daily which was stepped up to 450 mg daily at the half-time mark of the study.
The results were that the DHEA takers showed significant improvement in all the assessment markers, zilich for the placebo group.
There was at least a fifty percent improvement in something called the Hamilton Depression Rating for all the DHEA takers,
and only thirteen humans in the placebo group made the improvement cut.
In conclusion the researchers agreed that DHEA is an effective treatment for mild to moderately severe depression. This writer wonders what stopped the reserchers from addressing full blown depression. Shall we ever know?
MENOPAUSAL Women.
Overseas, in that land of Opera singers and pasta, at the University of Modena in Italy, a group of menopausal women were each administered a daily dosage of 25 mg DHEA.
The outcome couldn’t be more interesting. Check this out.
There was significant improvement in hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms were rated progressive. In other words menopausal symptoms were indeed alleviated significantly.
Next, progesterone levels almost doubled.
Thirdly,testosterone levels increased nearly four times, ah yes, ladies do need some of that too. You will simply not believe the overall good feeling and the jump in your sensual responsiveness as a woman, that you get with an increase in your testosterone levels. Women over 45 years need to pay very close attention to this paragraph, because this also alleviates many of the bothersome menopausal symptoms. Many true health professionals were astonished at these repeatable results, and authors at this site have found, that this has been known for a number of years and the knowledge simply sat upon.
It will serve you best if we can provide a hyper-link to a clinical study and resources to safely and easily pursue more info. That link will be here very shortly.
Fourthly, estrogen levels increased by four times what they were at the start.
Fifthly, this author stands corrected, pasta is originally from China and popularized in Italy by one of it’s explorers, most probably Marco Polo.
