DHEA Plus is
a hormonal supplement primarily containing Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a
precursor that the body converts into sex hormones like estrogen and
testosterone. As of 2026, it is commonly used to support fertility in women and
address age-related hormonal declines.
Introduction of DHEA Plus Tablet
DHEA
is a steroid hormone naturally produced by the adrenal glands, peaking in the
mid-20s and declining steadily after age 30. DHEA Plus Tablets provide a
synthetic form of this hormone (often micronized for better absorption) to help
restore these levels.
Key Benefits of DHEA Plus Tablet
Ø Fertility Support: Enhances
egg and embryo count in women with diminished ovarian reserve or those
undergoing In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
Ø Hormonal Balance: Helps
regulate menstrual cycles in premenopausal women who lack natural progesterone.
Ø Mood & Brain Health: May
improve symptoms of depression and cognitive function, especially in
individuals with low baseline DHEA levels.
Ø Bone Density: Supports
healthy bone maintenance and may help prevent bone loss associated with aging,
particularly in postmenopausal women.

aids in reducing body fat and improving insulin sensitivity in older
adults.
