DHEA is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands and in your brain. It is the most abundant pro-hormone or building block for hormones in your system. Scientifically speaking, DHEA is actually the building block for 50 different hormones.

Including your major sex hormones: Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone.

This is why DHEA is called the “mother of all hormones”

Your body’s natural production of DHEA varies widely with age, very low levels are produced before puberty, peak production in your late 20’s or early 30’s, followed by a steady decline in production with advancing age. By the time we reach 70 years of age we actually only make 20% of the DHEA we did when we were young.

This age-related pattern of production has led many to believe that DHEA production may actually be linked to the aging process itself.

DHEA supplementation (if you’re deficient) may help turn back the clock, as it were, because it can help:

Lower fat storage through improved thyroid response

Stimulate bone deposition

Increase muscle tone

Improve mood (including fighting depression)

Fight cancer

Sub-optimal levels of DHEA have also been associated with many age-related degenerative conditions, including:

Chronic inflammation
Low libido
Immune dysfunction
Cognitive decline
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Osteoporosis
Increased risk for certain cancers
Some complications of Type II Diabetes
Alzheimer’s
Heart Disease

Can changing your DHEA levels really help you with these conditions?
ABSOLUTELY!

Pure-Vitality Renew cream is a pure source, naturally occurring compound cream that works with your body’s natural ability to produce DHEA.

There have been a number of significant scientific studies done proving the rejuvenating benefits of DHEA. Here is only some of the evidence to support why and how this cream works.

Effects on Cognitive (Brain) Function:

Two large studies showed that levels of DHEA-S in elderly patients correlated significantly and positively with cognitive function (an increased ability to concentrate and think accordingly). Prior research had shown that higher DHEA-S levels were directly associated with improved concentration, working memory, and executive (decision-making) function.

A landmark 2007 study showed that DHEA supplementation of 150 mg twice daily improved memory recall and mood in healthy young men, specifically increasing activity in the hippocampus, the region of the brain most closely associated with mnemonic function (memory).

As A Natural Mood Enhancer:

Supplementation with DHEA can significantly help decrease depression and its effects. A National Institute of Mental Health study of depressive men and women aged 45-65 years showed significant improvement over 6 weeks among those who took 90 mg of DHEA per day for 3 weeks and then 450 mg per day for 3 weeks, compared with a placebo.

The study also showed significant improvements in sexual functioning scores in supplemented patients, but not among control patients. In a rare admission from the generally conservative National Institute of Mental Health, their conclusion was, “We find DHEA to be an effective treatment for midlife-onset major and minor depression.”

Support for Aging Bones and Joints:

In the year 2000, a study demonstrated improved bone turnover—more marked in women than in men—during a year-long study of daily 50 mg supplementation with DHEA (Bone turnover is the natural process by which the body replaces old bone from the skeleton and replaces it with new bone).

By 2003, laboratory evidence emerged suggesting that DHEA could potentially enhance joint function and ward off osteoarthritis (OA).

DHEA’s effects on bone structure are no less significant. A double-blind, randomized, controlled trial of 50 mg per day of DHEA administered orally versus placebo for 12 months showed improved hip bone mineral density (BMD) in older men and women with low DHEA-S levels, with additional improvements in spine BMD in women.3,29 A larger study in 2008 showed that DHEA not only improved lumbar spine BMD in women (not men) taking 50 mg per day for a year, but it also reduced blood-borne markers of bone resorption an important measure of overall bone health and bone aging. Not surprisingly, the addition of Vitamin D and Calcium supplements to a DHEA regimen may add additional benefits.

Why use a cream on your skin?
Clinical Research reveals that 88% of DHEA metabolism occurs in the skin. * This discovery adds logical credence to the application of Pure Vitality’s Renew Cream is the best way to ensure this cream is absorbed into the skin where it will effectively increase our own DHEA production.
