What is DHEA?

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, serving as a precursor to both androgens (like testosterone) and estrogens. It plays a pivotal role in stress response, immune function, and overall hormonal balance.

Natural Decline
& Clinical Impact

Peak & Decline: Levels peak around age 20, then decrease 2–3% per year—resulting in an 80% drop by age 70.

Symptoms of Low DHEA:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Brain fog
  • Decreased muscle mass
  • Weakened immunity
  • Mood disturbances
  • Slower recovery from stress or illness

Hormonal Conversion: Once administered, DHEA is converted in peripheral tissues into downstream sex steroids, helping restore balanced levels of estrogen and testosterone.

Cellular Signaling: Modulates NMDA and GABA receptor systems, supporting neuronal health and stress resilience.

Why Tyde’s Protocols
Are Different

  • Precision Dosing: Clinicians customize doses (10–50 mg/day) based on your DHEA-S, cortisol rhythm, and hormone ratios—no one-size-fits-all.
  • Dynamic Monitoring: Retest DHEA-S and metabolic panels every 8 weeks, adjusting doses in real time to prevent overcorrection.
  • Holistic Integration: Combines DHEA therapy with guided lifestyle coaching—sleep hygiene, stress management, and targeted nutrition—to optimize adrenal function.

Study B (Menopause Journal, 2021):
DHEA supplementation at 30 mg/day improved mood scale ratings by 18% and reduced cortisol-related anxiety symptoms.

Study C (International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020): In vitro and small clinical trials showed DHEA’s neuroprotective effects via modulation of GABA and NMDA receptor pathways, supporting cognitive resilience.
