Until January 1994, DHEA supplements had been available only in a synthetic form and only by prescription. Body absorption rates differ depending on what form of consumption is used. The effects of DHEA supplements are based on individual conditions, including age and health. Most supplements are made from diosgenin, a common sterol extracted from wild Mexican yam. The recommended dose varies based on individual needs but is usually 5-25 mg daily taken with food.
Most doctors recommend morning dosing in keeping with the body's natural pattern.
Do not exceed recommended dose. Sings of over consumption include chest tightness, heart palpitations, insomnia, irritability and extreme fatigue. Consult a doctor before using this product especially if you are pregnant, nursing or suffering from any serious illness. Keep out of reach of children. Unfortunately, natural DHEA levels decline dramatically with age.
