Vital Nutrients DHEA 10mg (Micronized)
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is the most abundant circulating steroid hormone in the body, but its levels naturally decline significantly with age. Vital Nutrients DHEA provides a low, 10mg dose of high-purity, micronized DHEA to help support and maintain healthy hormone balance, promote a positive mood, and contribute to an overall sense of well-being as you age.*
IMPORTANT WARNING: For Adult Use Only
NOT FOR USE BY INDIVIDUALS UNDER 18. DO NOT USE IF PREGNANT OR NURSING. This is a hormone precursor. Consult a physician before using this product, especially if you have a family history of, or have been diagnosed with, hormone-sensitive conditions. Misuse may cause adverse side effects. Read all warnings before use.
Supporting Healthy Levels for Healthy Aging*
Maintaining healthy levels of DHEA is associated with benefits for immune function, mood, and lean muscle mass. By providing a supplemental source of DHEA, this formula can help support the body’s levels of this crucial hormone, promoting a healthy foundation for aging gracefully and maintaining vitality.*
Micronized for Enhanced Absorption*
Vital Nutrients uses a micronized form of DHEA. Micronization is a process that reduces the particle size of the nutrient, which can help to increase its dissolution and absorption by the body. This commitment to quality ensures you are getting a bioavailable form of DHEA to support your wellness goals.*

Expert Insight from an Endocrinologist
“DHEA is a critical prohormone that serves as a precursor to androgens and estrogens. Its age-related decline is a well-documented biomarker of endocrine aging. For certain individuals, under the guidance of a healthcare professional, low-dose DHEA supplementation can be a tool to help restore circulating levels to those of younger adulthood. However, monitoring is essential. A high-quality, third-party tested product is a prerequisite for any clinical consideration.”

How to Use
Take one (1) capsule, one to two times daily with food, or as directed by a healthcare professional. DHEA levels should be monitored by a healthcare professional.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is DHEA?
DHEA is a hormone naturally produced by the adrenal glands. It serves as a precursor, meaning the body can convert it into other hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. Its production peaks in early adulthood and steadily declines thereafter.
Why is it important to consult a doctor before taking DHEA?
Because DHEA is a hormone precursor, it can affect your hormone levels. It is essential to have your levels tested and to discuss supplementation with a qualified healthcare professional who can determine if it’s right for you and monitor your progress. It is not for everyone and can be harmful if used improperly.
What does “practitioner grade” mean for Vital Nutrients?
It means the brand is primarily sold through healthcare practitioners (like doctors and nutritionists) and adheres to extremely high standards of quality, purity, and potency, often exceeding the standard cGMPs. They conduct extensive third-party testing on raw materials and finished products.
