Wall Street Journal Best Seller Dr. M's Seven-X Plan for Digestive Health
DHEA is a popular over the counter product that has been used for its benefits against aging processes. There have been many studies that support that thesis. However, a recent study put cold water on the enthusiasm for this popular remedy and brought its efficacy into question.
Is It Leaky Gut or Leaky Gut Syndrome?
The study was performed by researchers at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Dr. Nair and colleagues conducted a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to study the effect of DHEA. It involved 87 elderly men with low levels of the DHEA and testosterone plus 57 elderly women with low levels of DHEA.
They studied the effect of intervention on physical performance, body composition, bone mineral density and quality of life over a period of two years.
These researchers found that DHEA or low-dose testosterone replacement in elderly people did not have any clinically relevant beneficial impact on the outcome measures studied.
These results are in contrast to some previous studies. However, the validity of many of those has been questioned because of the inadequate number of subjects and short duration. However it does not answer whether use of high doses of testosterone may be helpful.
Do you use DHEA or testosterone as a supplement or any other over the counter supplements? What are your thoughts on their marketing and beneficial effects?
