At Kings Pharmacy and Compounding Center, we are dedicated to helping men achieve optimal health at every stage of life. Hormone balance plays a critical role in how you feel, perform, and function—and one often-overlooked hormone that has a big impact on men’s health is DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone).
As one of the most abundant circulating hormones in the human body, DHEA is a key building block for other important hormones like testosterone and estrogen. When DHEA levels decline, it can affect everything from your energy levels to your immune function, mood, and sexual health.
If you’re feeling fatigued, stressed, or experiencing symptoms related to hormonal imbalance, learning about DHEA could be the missing piece in understanding your health.
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the adrenal glands, located just above the kidneys. It serves as a precursor to male and female sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. This means that your body uses DHEA as a foundation to produce other hormones that are essential for various physical and emotional functions.
DHEA production typically peaks in early adulthood and gradually declines with age—often dropping by as much as 80% by the time you reach your 70s or 80s. Lower levels of DHEA have been associated with signs of aging, fatigue, weakened immunity, reduced libido, and mood disorders.
While testosterone often gets the spotlight, DHEA is equally important in maintaining men’s overall health and hormonal balance. This hormone plays several key roles, including:
Low DHEA levels can disrupt these functions, leaving you feeling off balance, tired, or not quite like yourself.
While natural aging is the most common reason for declining DHEA levels, other factors can contribute to depletion, including:
A comprehensive hormone evaluation, including DHEA testing, can help determine if DHEA supplementation might benefit your health.
At Kings Pharmacy and Compounding Center, we offer custom-compounded DHEA therapy designed to restore balance safely and effectively. Because hormone needs vary from person to person, compounded DHEA allows for precise dosing and delivery tailored to your specific requirements.
The advantage of compounded solutions is that they allow for customization—ensuring the right dose for your body while avoiding unnecessary fillers, dyes, or allergens.
Our pharmacy team works closely with your healthcare provider to determine the best DHEA therapy plan based on your lab results, symptoms, and health goals. With proper monitoring, DHEA supplementation can help support hormone balance, improve energy, and enhance your overall sense of well-being.
The best way to know if your DHEA levels are low is through laboratory testing. If you are experiencing symptoms like fatigue, low libido, or mood changes, speak with your healthcare provider about a hormone evaluation.
When administered properly and monitored by a qualified healthcare professional, DHEA supplementation is considered safe and effective. Over-supplementation can lead to side effects, so it’s important to use the correct dose and have regular follow-ups.
Yes, managing stress, maintaining a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and prioritizing good sleep hygiene can all help support your adrenal health and potentially improve DHEA production naturally.
While individual responses can vary, many patients begin to notice improvements in energy, mood, and well-being within a few weeks of starting DHEA therapy. Full benefits may take several months with consistent use and proper monitoring.
