DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), also known as the youth hormone is an adrenal steroid hormone in the body synthesized by the adrenal glands, which are then converted into androgens, estrogen, and other hormones.
BS | These hormones are responsible to regulate fat and mineral metabolism, sexual and reproductive function, and energy levels. The level of DHEA increases until our body is in the late 20s, after which it starts declining with age.
“DHEA supplements help by increasing the androgen levels within the ovarian environments to a normal range, which improves egg quality. The high-quality healthy eggs develop into high-quality embryos, which have a better chance of implantation and lower risks of miscarriage,” said Dr. Sowjanya Aggarwal, Gynaecologist, Max Hospital, Vaishali.
“DHEA supplements diminish ovarian reserve (DOR) through the practice of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF). The pregnancy outcomes have been improved for those who suffer from premature ovarian aging (POA) as well as women over the age of 40 whose ovarian reserve is declining as a part of the natural aging process,” she added.
Through various studies, it has been found out that pregnancy chances increase in women with higher androgen levels after DHEA supplementation.
