DHEA 25mg — Micronized Dehydroepiandrosterone for Hormonal Balance, Energy & Adrenal Support
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is the most abundant steroid hormone precursor produced by the adrenal glands and is the biological starting material from which the body synthesises a range of sex hormones including oestrogen, testosterone, and their downstream metabolites. DHEA production peaks in the mid-twenties and declines progressively with age — a decline that has been associated with changes in energy, mood, body composition, and hormonal balance.*
Priority One's DHEA 25mg delivers micronized DHEA — a form processed to fine particles for improved surface area and dissolution — in a clean, single-ingredient formula at a moderate 25mg dose suited to general hormonal support use.*
Please note: This product is encapsulated in gelatin. It is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Serving size is 1 capsule, 90 servings per bottle.
What's inside and why it matters
Micronized DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone, 25mg per capsule)
DHEA is a steroid prohormone — a compound that the body converts into active hormones as needed, depending on individual hormonal status, age, sex, and metabolic context. This conversion process means DHEA supplementation supports the body's own hormonal synthesis pathways rather than directly supplying a finished hormone.*
Micronization — the process of reducing DHEA to very fine particles — is an important quality consideration. Standard DHEA is a poorly water-soluble compound with variable absorption. Micronized DHEA has a significantly greater surface area, which supports more consistent dissolution and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract compared to non-micronized forms.*
At 25mg per capsule, this formula provides a moderate dose — below the higher doses (50mg+) sometimes used in clinical protocols — making it a suitable option for general adrenal and hormonal support as part of a wellness routine, or as a lower starting dose for those new to DHEA supplementation. Individual DHEA requirements vary significantly; serum DHEA-S testing is recommended to establish baseline levels and appropriate dosing before starting supplementation.*
The role of DHEA in the body
DHEA and its sulphated form DHEA-S are produced primarily in the zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex. As precursors to both androgens and oestrogens, they play a foundational role in the body's hormonal milieu. Beyond hormone precursor activity, DHEA receptors have been identified in multiple tissues, and DHEA is involved in normal immune modulation, normal mood regulation, and healthy adrenal function — reflecting its importance as more than simply a sex hormone precursor.*
The progressive age-related decline in DHEA production — typically beginning in the late twenties and continuing throughout life — is one of the most consistent endocrine changes associated with ageing, which is why DHEA supplementation has been the subject of considerable research interest in the context of healthy ageing and hormonal support.*
