DHEA for Menopause: a look at benefits and dosing | Felice Gersh, MD
DHEA is an adrenal androgen. As women age, the adrenal gland shrinks, atrophies, and produces less DHEA. As this happens, many women will benefit from supplementing. Likely benefits of DHEA include: extending fertility strong bones increased muscle mass loss of visceral fat improved sexual function But not every woman at every stage of menopause needs extra DHEA. Women with a history of PCOS or other androgen excess conditions should be especially cautious. In this talk, I cover what DHEA is, why it is critical for health, testing to figure out who might want to supplement, and how to approach dosing.
