Product Details

Category: DHEA/7-Keto

Product Code: dhea-5-mg-PEC-180-cpsls

Quantity per Container: 180 Capsules


DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone, is the most abundant adrenal steroid hormone in the body. After it is made by the adrenal glands, it travels into cells throughout the body where it is converted into androgens, estrogens and other hormones. These hormones regulate fat and mineral metabolism, endocrine and reproductive function, and energy levels. The amount of each hormone that DHEA converts to depends on an individual’s biochemistry, age, and sex. DHEA levels peak around age 25 and then decline steadily.

The compound diosgenin is extracted from wild yam and undergoes a proprietary synthetic process to develop DHEA. The human body cannot metabolize wild yam into DHEA. This process can only take place in a laboratory. Pure Encapsulations DHEA is micronized to increase absorption. It is made with 99.38% pure, pharmaceutical grade DHEA. Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) is derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil. Hypoallergenic plant fiber is derived from pine cellulose.

I buy this product regularly.

by Barbara -

I only use a small amount (4 or 5 tablets a week) as prescribed by my doctor. I trust the ""pure"" brand.

Consistent Quality

by VJfirstdeans

I have used this brand DHEA for years and wouldn't be without it. In a pinch I've tried other brands and found the quality isn't the same. Pure Encapsulations products are high quality that never fails.

Pure Encapsulations DHEA has Rice Hulls Dec. 2, 2024

by Karen

PureEncapsulations USED TO BE the only brand I trusted for DHEA. All others added rice flour, or problematic ingredients. I've been taking PureEncap DHEA for years. When tested, my levels were always perfectly in range. I trusted PureEncap completely.

PureEncap recently started adding “Rice Hulls.” Those of us who are sensitive to gluten know disastrous tiny bits can be. It’s causing greatly increased pain that steroids don’t fix. And digestive distress.

Desperate to figure out what caused this, I spent 2 hrs 45 minutes reviewing my journal. I decided to eliminate some supps (like vit. B which is probably innocent). When I sat to eat, I looked at my DHEA pill and thought: “Isn’t it nice they added color so I can tell it from the Pregnenolone.” Then: “How did they add color?” which led to discovery of Rice Hulls. There was no change on the front label. I am furious, and no longer trust PureEncap.
