Questions And Answers
What's the relationship between DHEA and Vitamin E?
Apart from the well documented effects that vitamin E prevents cellular damage (associated with the aging process) supplementation with vitamin E has recently been shown to protect/ preserve critical DHEA levels in the brain. We know that dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels within the body protect against an entire range of age-related problems. However, DHEA levels within the brain is a known determinant of "brain health" and "brain aging".

Recently, Japanese researchers performed an elegant study on the effects of vitamin E on brain DHEA levels in rodents and published the results in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry (1998;9:339-343). The results showed that a vitamin E deficient diet significantly reduced brain (adrenal) DHEA levels. That in fact, not enough vitamin E in the diet does affect the amount of this vital prohormone in the brain. Also, more importantly, this study showed that supplementation with vitamin E restored normal DHEA levels. However, using more vitamin E did not increase adrenal DHEA levels beyond normal values, so mega dosing vitamin E in this instance is no good.

It does appear that the lipid-rich adrenals are very susceptible to damage by free radicals and the accumulation of lipid peroxidation products may decrease the production of DHEA as we age. Therefore getting enough antioxidants may help prevent oxidative damage to the sensitive adrenals and preserve brain DHEA levels.

When I take your DHEA 100 I get an incredible pump when I lift. I love it. Why does this happen?
A lot of people report this and some resent research may point to why this is happening. A resent study out of Japan demonstrates quite clearly that DHEA increases glucose uptake. Increasing muscle glucose uptake while training will noticeably increase the "pump" you feel both during and after training.

The study also revealed that DHEA may increase insulin efficiency which would enhance nutrient transport.
