DHEA helps lower risks of having bone fractures and bone loss. Some studies have shown that DHEA can increase estrogen production which in turn improves bone mineral density in older women and people with bone-related disorders.

Another benefit from taking DHEA is to help your body recover after an intense physical training. DHEA helps cells take up glucose or sugar for energy, prevents fat accumulation, and contributes in the process of metabolism.
