What do your DHEA-S levels mean?
The short answer
Nobody we follow has said what your DHEA-S should be. It comes up on the shows, but never with a number.
Your lab prints 35–560 µg/dL. That range exists to catch disease, not to describe your best.
What DHEA-S measures
An adrenal hormone your body uses as raw material to make testosterone and oestrogen.
It falls with age, and it stands in for how much your adrenal glands are putting out.
