DHEA Liquid — Apex Energetics (K-18, 2 fl oz)

DHEA Liquid — Apex Energetics — Dr. Jay Wrigley's Adrenal Hormone Precursor Protocol

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is the most abundant steroid hormone in the human body and serves as the primary precursor for both testosterone and estrogen synthesis. Dr. Jay Wrigley, NMD and Functional Medicine Doctor, considers DHEA status one of the most important and most overlooked biomarkers in midlife hormonal assessment. DHEA production peaks in the mid-20s and declines by approximately 80–90% by age 70 — a trajectory that correlates with the onset of many of the hormonal and metabolic patterns Dr. Wrigley addresses in clinical practice.

In the LCHPMF™ framework, DHEA is assessed as part of the adrenal and sex hormone evaluation. Low DHEA-S (the sulfated, measurable form) is associated with fatigue, reduced libido, immune vulnerability, cognitive decline, and accelerated aging. DHEA liquid from Apex Energetics provides a sublingual delivery format that supports consistent absorption.

Clinical context: This is a hormone precursor — not a hormone replacement. DHEA supplementation should be guided by serum DHEA-S levels and clinical assessment by a licensed healthcare provider. Dr. Wrigley recommends DHEA support for patients in the Andropause, Post-Menopausal Shift, and Cortisol Dominant archetypes where DHEA-S is confirmed to be below optimal range. This is an educational recommendation only.
