TrueMed DHEA delivers 25 mg of Micronized Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) per capsule — the body’s most abundant adrenal steroid hormone precursor and the upstream building block for the biosynthesis of estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, cortisone, and other steroid hormones. DHEA is produced primarily by the adrenal glands, with smaller contributions from the gonads and brain, and reaches peak levels in the mid-20s before declining steadily with age — reaching levels 80–90% lower than peak values by the seventh and eighth decades of life.

This age-related decline in DHEA has been studied in the context of multiple aspects of healthy aging: body composition changes, reduced energy and vitality, shifts in immune function, mood changes, and metabolic slowdown. DHEA supplementation is used to replenish adrenal hormone precursor availability — supporting the hormonal signalling cascades that govern energy, metabolism, mood, immune modulation, and sex hormone balance. Micronized DHEA is processed into smaller particles for improved bioavailability and absorption compared to standard DHEA. At 25 mg per capsule with 90 capsules per bottle, this formula provides a full three-month supply at a widely used, moderate daily dose. Produced in a GMP-certified, FDA-registered USA facility by TrueMed Pharma Inc.

1. Micronized DHEA 25 mg: Micronization reduces particle size to improve dissolution rate and intestinal absorption — enhancing bioavailability and ensuring more consistent blood level profiles than standard non-micronized DHEA.
2. Adrenal Hormone Precursor Role: DHEA is the direct precursor to DHEA-S (DHEA sulfate, the storage form) and the indirect precursor to estrogen, testosterone, and other steroid hormones through peripheral conversion in target tissues.
3. Age-Related Decline Context: DHEA is one of the most age-sensitive hormones in human physiology — its decline correlates with many aspects of the aging process, making supplementation particularly relevant for adults over 40.
4. 90-Day Supply for Sustained Hormonal Support: Hormonal support from DHEA supplementation is cumulative — the 90-capsule bottle provides an appropriate duration for meaningful hormonal and vitality benefits to develop and be assessed.
