Who should take the test?

Your love life is not quite what it used to be? You are concerned about your loss of energy? Perhaps you are suffering from mood changes?

When people age, their metabolism changes. The adrenal glands start to produce less DHEA: In comparison to young people, 60-year-olds have only one-fifth of the amount of DHEA in their blood. DHEA plays an important role in the different metabolic processes in the body and is an important precursor of female and male sex hormones. Unlike cortisol, it has an activating effect on the immune system.

The test analyzes the morning values of the following hormone:

  • DHEA

Our DHEA Saliva Test gives you information about the DHEA concentration in your body as the right amount of DHEA is beneficial for the immune system and general well-being.

Any Questions?

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding this test. Your question is missing? Please contact us at:

What can be the causes of a DHEA deficiency?

When growing older, the DHEA level drops. In some people they drop so far, that they show symptoms of DHEA deficiency. Another cause of a deficiency can be an adrenal insufficiency. Since DHEA, like cortisol, is formed in the adrenal glands, an malfunction can quickly lead to a deficiency.

How does DHEA affect our health?

Low DHEA levels are suspected of increasing the risk of diseases such as Alzheimer's, cancer, osteoporosis, depression, heart disease and obesity. This is probably due to the fact that DHEA is involved in many important metabolic processes in the body. If an important component is missing there, it affects the whole body.

I heard that DHEA is only important for men?

It is true that men have a significantly higher DHEA level than women. Nevertheless, women also benefit from a good DHEA value.
