Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Micronized dehydroepiandrosterone improves absorption of the endogenous steroid precursor. DHEA modulates androgen and estrogen biosynthesis, interacts with neurosteroid receptors, influences immune signalling, and affects metabolic pathways including glucose and lipid regulation.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in neurosteroid‑modelling research, adrenal‑steroidogenesis studies, metabolic‑syndrome assays, immune‑modulation research and endocrine‑axis analysis.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include androgenic effects, acne, mood changes, hormonal imbalance and hepatotoxicity at high doses. Handle with steroid‑compound precautions.
