Supplementing with DHEA has been thought to slow aging, help in weight loss, build muscle,
and improve overall health. You will need and dhea cream, pills, or injections. DHEA
is not recommended for regular use without supervision by a licensed health professional.
Step 1. Use DHEA on your face and neck. Some studies suggest that topical creams containing
DHEA help reverse aging and repair sun-damaged skin. Step 2. Lose weight. DHEA was found
to support weight loss and fat loss in most clinical trials, although further research
is needed. Step 3. Fight the symptoms of aging. Some studies have found that DHEA may prevent
or combat a host of conditions associated with aging, including immune function, certain
cancers, Alzheimer's disease, bone loss, menopausal disorders, arthritis, *** function, memory,
and muscle strength. Step 4. Treat depression with DHEA. Most clinical trials found DHEA
effective for depression under the guidance of a specialist. Step 5. Ease the symptoms
of systemic lupus, an autoimmune disease. Combined with conventional medicine, DHEA
has been found to reduce symptoms, such as facial rashes and muscle weakness, in patients.
Step 6. Improve your adrenal function. DHEA has shown promising results in people with
insufficient adrenal function, like Addison's disease. Step 7. Take DHEA if you're over
40 years old, unless your DHEA levels are known to be low. The recommended dose for
adult men is 50 milligrams per day and 25 milligrams for women taken in the morning.

trial with men and women aged 40 to 70 given DHEA daily, 67 percent of the men and 84 percent
of the women reported feeling more relaxed, having increased energy, were able to handle
stress more easily, and experienced deeper sleep.
