DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that serves as a precursor to sex hormones. DHEA levels decline with age, and some research has explored whether supplementation may influence body composition. Results from clinical trials have been mixed.

What dosage of DHEA has been studied for weight management?

Clinical trials have used 25–100 mg of DHEA per day, with 50 mg being the most common dose for body composition studies. Research has primarily focused on older adults with declining DHEA levels. Study durations ranged from 3 to 12 months.

About

A precursor steroid hormone that declines significantly with age. Preliminary clinical trials suggest 7-Keto DHEA, a metabolite that does not convert to sex hormones, may support thermogenesis and healthy body composition when combined with exercise.

How It Works

Precursor steroid hormone that converts to testosterone and estrogen. DHEA levels decline 80% from peak (age 25) by age 75. Supplementation may counteract age-related increases in abdominal fat by improving insulin sensitivity, supporting lean mass, and modulating cortisol's fat-storing effects. 7-Keto DHEA (a metabolite) enhances thermogenesis without converting to sex hormones.
