What is Dehydroepiandrosterone? Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is an important precursor hormone. Precursors are substances that are converted by the body into hormones. DHEA is the highest circulating steroid present in the human body. It does not have much biological effect on its own but is powerful when converted into hormones such as testosterone and estradiol. DHEA is produced from cholesterol by the outer layer of the adrenal glands. It is also produced in small amounts by the ovary and testes. DHEA is an important source of estrogen for women. DHEA production gradually increases from age 10, peaks during the 20s, and slowly decreases into old age. How Does Your Body Use DHEA? Your brain controls the production of DHEA. Your body uses a unique mechanism known as negative feedback to control the production of DHEA. Negative feedback tells your brain that once DHEA levels drop in your body, the mechanism is switched “on” and begins to produce more of the hormone. Once DHEA levels begin to rise, negative feedback is switched “off”. DHEA and Anti-Aging There are many rumors and claims that taking DHEA can also help slow down the process of aging. Claims include that DHEA can also increase energy and muscle strength, boosts immunity, and decrease body weight. However, these claims have yet to be medically proven.

Masteron is a highly androgenic injectable steroid that is a synthetic derivative of DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Since DHT does not aromatize to estrogens, there was no noted water retention during administration. If a bodybuilder had achieved a low body fat level, this drug was reported to dramatically improved shape and hardness in muscle tissue while augmenting the vascular appearance of a contest ready athlete.
