DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a natural hormone precursor. DHEA levels in the body decline significantly with age, especially in women after menopause, when both estrogen and androgen levels decrease, leading to a range of physical and mood changes. DHEA supplementation may help improve symptoms, but it's important to understand the benefits before using it.
