Hormone I've been taking for years

Posted , 8 users are following.

DHEA is a hormone naturally produced by the adrenal glands...and said to start dropping in our bodies by age 30, I've read some say since age 20.

This was one of the FIRST tests done by my intgegrative MD when I started on this FM path back in 1999, so I believe I'm on DHEA since 2002 or sooner....and in the U.S. it's over the countrer but I am monitored by my integrative MD annually with my blood work.

A friend on another board who is in Canada says it's a prescription in her country....so I'm guessing the same for the UK.

SO MANY MILLIONS, I believe are low in DHEA and have no idea.

Check out the DHEA info online and give it serious consideration...

Definitely boosts energy and moods and does slow down aging....I'm 76 and I can attest to it.

It takes so much to get "fixed" with the FM stuff and everything in life for that matter....we all age. Mention it to your docs.

I found out about DHEA when I was hit with FM back in 1999, it's been quite a journey.
