DHEA Supplementation Protocols

Meaning

DHEA supplementation protocols are structured clinical guidelines detailing the precise administration of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), an endogenous steroid hormone precursor, to address documented deficiencies or specific health objectives. These protocols involve careful titration of dosage, selection of delivery method, and consistent laboratory monitoring of DHEA-S and downstream metabolites like testosterone and estrogens. The clinical application is highly individualized, seeking to restore physiological levels to support vitality, bone density, and adrenal function, always requiring medical oversight due to DHEA’s status as a potent pro-hormone.
