What are DHEA tabs???!
Question: DHEA also known as dehydroepiandrosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland that the body uses to make testosterone in men and women. In women, the body uses it to make estrogen. See the information at the first two sites listed below for some basic information.
There are few studies on the effectiveness of DHEA in treating many illnesses although it is used for treating a number of conditions (especially by naturopathic physicians and others that practice "alternative medicine"). The truth is that much more study is needed regarding DHEA. See the information at the nlm.nih.gov site for some info regarding studies.
If you are planning to take DHEA, I would only suggest taking it under the supervision of a qualified practitioner. It is a powerful hormone with a number of side effects. See the drugdigest.org site below for side effect list. Personally, I am taking it for adrenal insufficiency under the supervision of a naturopathic doctor.
Hope this is helpful.

DHEA is short for dehydroepiandrosterone, a hormone made by the adrenal glands located just above the kidneys.
DHEA tablets are supplements. These are usually recommended for individuals with adrenal deficiency/low levels of DHEA.
The benefit from a DHEA supplement (in those who are dhea deficient) include improved sense of wellbeing, more alertness and stamina, and enhanced sexual interest and libido.
Individuals with normal levels of DHEA who take high doses are likely get DHEA side effects. Common side effects caused by high doses of a DHEA supplement include:
Acne - due to androgens
Increased sweat odor and possible scalp itching
Menstrual irregularities
Irritability and restlessness
Hair thinning or hair loss
