Application:
Obesity prevention: DHEA is like thyroid which can inhibit the intake of food and fat into our body and reduce the accumulation of fat, etc.
Anti-aging: At the age of 25~30 years old, the contents of DHEA is the highest in body. After 30 years old, it will gradually reduce by 75% of that in 25 years period.
