Description:
Take 1 tablet up to five times daily with a meal. Do not exceed 25 mg per day. Consult product label warnings and insert (see below) before using this product.
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is produced by the adrenal gland and it is found naturally in the body. DHEA is an important base from which other key metabolites are derived. Amounts of DHEA decrease as we grow older. This NATROL® product contains the highest quality DHEA available in a supplement form.*

Please read before using Natrol® DHEA
Investigators interested in the biology of aging have increasingly focused their attention on the steroids dehydroepiandrosterone DHEA)and DHEA sulfate (DHEAS). When Consumed, DHEA is metabolized in the liver, and a significant percentage is converted to DHEAS.
The interest of DHEA and DHEAS stems from observations that circulating levels of these hormones exert beneficial actions but exhibit a unique age-related decline. Therefore, some changes associated with aging are postulated to be due to a relative decline in DHEA and DHEAS.
Secretion of DHEA from the adrenal cortex is very high in a fetus, drops sharply after birth to very low levels in childhood, rises again before puberty and reaches peak levels in young adulthood. During adulthood, it has been conclusively shown that DHEA and DHEAS levels in both sexes decrease at a relatively constant rate of 2% per year. Hence, at age 80, levels are only about 20% of those at age 25.
At all ages, the interindividual variability is very high, and thus the normal range of serum levels is extensive. For example, one man at age 65 could have levels three times higher than another man of identical age.
Supplementation with DHEA:
The objective of supplementation with DHEA is to maintain levels approximating those occurring during early adulthood. However, excessive amounts of DHEA can have undesirable effects. Therefore, it is important to assure that the amount of DHEA consumed is not excessive.
Have your DHEA level measured before use:
In order to determine if supplementation is appropriate, and if appropriate, the amount to be consumed, DHEA levels should be measured by a physician. Following the commencement of DHEA supplementation periodic testing of DHEA and DHEAS levels should be checked to assure that the optimum level is being reached and to avoid ingestion of excessive amounts.
Warning: This product should not be taken by any person who is under the age of 40, pregnant, capable of bearing children, or taking any prescription medication, including any hormone products. Persons suffering from any disease should consult a physician before using this product.
