DHEA & Adrenal Hormone Support

Evidence

DHEA reliably raises DHEA-S levels but robust trials show little consistent benefit for well-being, body composition, or aging in healthy adults, so the longevity claim is largely unproven.

Regulatory notes

European Union

DHEA is classified as a medicinal product and is prescription-only in Spain and most of the EU, not available as an OTC supplement.

United States

DHEA is sold OTC as a dietary supplement in the US (though banned in sport by WADA), so it is not FDA-approved as a drug and is unregulated for anti-aging claims.

United Arab Emirates

DHEA is treated as a regulated hormone/medicinal product requiring prescription and MoHAP oversight; it is not freely sold as a supplement.

United Kingdom

DHEA is a prescription-only medicine, not sold OTC as a supplement.
