AMS DHEA 25mg is a dietary hormone supplement. It contains dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands that serves as a precursor to male and female sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen.
Because natural DHEA production peaks in a person's 20s and steadily declines with age, this supplement is primarily marketed to support hormonal balance, energy levels, bone density, and overall vitality during aging or fertility treatments.

Important Health & Safety Considerations
Because DHEA is an active precursor to powerful sex hormones, it should be approached with caution rather than treated as a standard vitamin:
-
Potential Side Effects: Changes in hormone levels can cause acne, hair loss, facial hair growth in women, mood swings, irritability, or an irregular heartbeat.
-
Contraindications: You should not take DHEA if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of hormone-sensitive conditions (such as breast, ovarian, or prostate cancers).
-
Medication Interactions: DHEA can interact with insulin, thyroid medications, corticosteroids, and other hormone-containing treatments.
-
Athletic Bans: DHEA is classified as an anabolic agent and is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and major sports organizations like the NCAA, NFL, and MLB.
Always consult a doctor before starting DHEA to check your baseline hormone levels and confirm if supplementation is appropriate for your specific health goals.
