DHEA-S represents a stable measure of adrenal gland activity and stress accumulated over time. When we measure DHEA-S, we gain an understanding of the body’s systemic biological reservoir of DHEA. DHEA-S possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, balances the effects of high cortisol, regulates cognitive function, memory enhancement and provides relief from depressive symptoms. When taking a DHEA supplement, it is important to measure your DHEA-S level 90 days after starting use and then yearly to ensure your level is optimal. Patients may choose to conduct this test using saliva or blood spot test kit.
