As we age, our adrenal gland secretion of DHEA declines and causes various brain health issues.

Studies show people with higher DHEA levels have less mental confusion, lower anxiety and less negative mood disorders.

Supplementation with DHEA helps prevent/reduce mood disorders, especially major depression and significantly improves older adults' cognitive and memory functions.

Consulting with a practitioner is required before taking supplementation.
