What is dhae

DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, is a hormone primarily produced by the adrenal glands. It acts as a global promoter of sex steroid hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. The effects of DHEA on increasing these hormones depend significantly on the individual's hormonal baseline and the presence of the aromatase enzyme, which can convert testosterone to estrogen. Therefore, DHEA may lead to an increase in estrogen production in individuals with high levels of body fat or with more estrogen relative to testosterone 1.
