I’m not a chemist/doctor, but it creates a natural level of steroid (a healthy steroid) in the body after the production of the substance starts to decline, about age 40 and later, a downhill path. Our bodies used to die much younger than they do now, and things like DHEA lessen as we age. Melatonin is another one, the real sleep “aide”, another substance that we (at least many people say) can augment as the years go by.

Dehydroepiandrosterone.

It is the basic chemical building block of all the steroid hormones in the body, including testosterone and estrogen.
