Legion DHEA Ingredient (50 milligrams per serving)

DHEA (50 milligrams per serving)

DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, is a hormone produced in our adrenal glands or artificially from chemicals in wild yam and soy.[5][6][7] Your body uses it to create testosterone and estrogen—two hormones vital for physical and mental health, especially as you age.[8]

DHEA levels peak in young adulthood and decline by about 10% each decade, leaving you with a dwindling supply in your later years.[9]

Taking a DHEA supplement helps bridge this gap, supporting your body’s ability to restore hormonal balance.

For men, this means increasing testosterone, while for women, it means boosting estrogen.[10][11][12][13][14][15] And by supporting your body’s production of these hormones, DHEA supplements can improve body composition and support mental well-being, bone health, and sexual function as you age.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]

In women, it can also alleviate some of the symptoms of menopause.[33][34][35]

The clinically effective dose of DHEA is between 50 and 200 milligrams.

No Artificial Food Dyes, Fillers, or Other Unnecessary Junk

Artificial food dyes and fillers may not be as dangerous as some people claim, but studies show they can cause negative effects in some people, including gastrointestinal toxicity and behavioral disorders.[36][37][38][39][40]

That’s why we use natural coloring derived from fruits and other foods as well as naturally derived ingredients for enhancing shelf life and facilitating the manufacturing process.
