DHEA 5 mg Dissolvable Tablets by Douglas Laboratories – Hormone Support with Micronized DHEA
DHEA 5 mg dissolvable tablets by Douglas Laboratories provide micronized DHEA in a tablet that can dissolve in the mouth. This single-active-ingredient formula is intended for healthcare-professional-directed use, not self-directed hormone adjustment.
Key DHEA 5 mg Dissolvable Tablets Benefits
- Supports normal DHEA functions by supplying the same hormone precursor that the body uses in its own hormone pathways.
- Provides a hormone precursor that tissues can convert into androgens and estrogens according to their local enzyme activity.
- Offers focused hormone support within a practitioner-directed plan, rather than combining DHEA with other active hormonal ingredients.
How DHEA 5 mg Dissolvable Tablets Works
DHEA is a hormone made mainly by the adrenal glands. It also serves as a starting material for other hormones: enzymes in individual tissues convert it into androgens and estrogens. This local conversion is part of normal hormone physiology, including androgen production. Taking DHEA can affect hormone levels, so supplementation should be guided by a healthcare professional rather than by assumptions about age or symptoms.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- DHEA: Also called dehydroepiandrosterone, this hormone supplies a building block that tissues use to make androgens and estrogens. Local enzymes control those conversions, helping tissues carry out normal hormone-dependent functions. Because supplemental DHEA can alter hormone profiles, this formula requires professional guidance.
DHEA 5 mg Dissolvable Tablets Is Formulated For
- Adults whose healthcare professional has specifically recommended practitioner-guided DHEA supplementation.
- Adults seeking a dissolvable tablet format within that supervised plan, after reviewing the contraindications and medication cautions below.

I have an auto immune disorder that robs me of energy. DHEA gives me back some of that. Ortho Molecular makes quality products.
