General Health Information

Dehydroepiandrosterone, better known as DHEA,
is a steroid hormone made by the adrenal glands. For reasons scientists
don’t yet understand, low levels of DHEA are associated with especially
severe symptoms of lupus. Taking supplemental DHEA may relieve severe
symptoms of lupus, although the lighter the symptoms, the less DHEA
helps. DHEA causes nothing like the side effects of steroids. Also, you
may consider certain formulas for fibromyalgia that can offer pain
relief in other conditions.
