Showing 2 supplements in Hormonal Support
DHEA
Dehydroepiandrosterone, Adrenal Hormone
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a steroid hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands that serves as a precursor to estrogen and testosterone. DHEA levels peak in young adulthood and decline with age. As a supplement, DHEA aims to restore levels to those of younger individuals, potentially supporting hormone-dependent functions.
DIM / Diindolylmethane
3,3'-Diindolylmethane, Diindolylmethane
DIM (Diindolylmethane) is a compound naturally found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. It is believed to support healthy estrogen metabolism and balance hormone ratios in both men and women. DIM works by promoting the conversion of estrogen to less reactive metabolites, potentially supporting hormonal equilibrium and reducing estrogen-related health concerns.
Supplement Safety
Dietary supplements are not regulated by the FDA in the same way as prescription medications. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have a medical condition. Supplements can interact with medications and may not be safe for everyone.
