DHEA is said to help everything from erectile dysfunction (ED) and depression to obesity and body fat distribution. But are all these claims true? What is DHEA for men? Short for dehydroepiandrosterone, DHEA is a steroid hormone that is converted into male and female sex hormones.
Research shows that DHEA levels tend to decrease as you age and the decrease may be linked to depression, memory problems, erectile dysfunction, decreased libido and bone density loss. (Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6119841/)
