Blender’s Notes DHEA ~ DHEA-s – WIP:
Steep Me Self Help combinations are a great way to get health benefits outside of the standard tea leaf. The blends in our Work in Progress section are still in their testing phases…. We would love for you to try the blends and give us feedback on how you felt they were working. All our teas go through a thorough testing phase to ensure we are finding success in the combination. Once we have 100 people or more evaluating the blend and we are starting to see the same results in 60 or more of the testers…these blends will move to the Self-Help section.
Dehydroepiandrosterone ~ (DHEA) is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that is critical to the production of estrogen and testosterone. DHEA supplements are commonly used to improve aging skin, treat painful sex after menopause, preserve bone mass, and alleviate depression. The body uses DHEA to produce estrogen and testosterone, hormones that decline as people age.2 While the evidence supporting the benefits of DHEA supplements is limited, research suggests they may be helpful for the following: Aging skin: Research suggests that DHEA can help reduce or even reverse thinning skin, also known as skin atrophy. This may be because DHEA boosts estrogen and testosterone, which in turn stimulate the production of skin-plumping collagen. Pain during sex: In clinical studies, a DHEA vaginal suppository called Intrarosa was proven to decrease vaginal dryness and pain during sex in menopausal women. Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is a decrease in bone mass and density that is often due in part to drops in estrogen. A review of studies in Gynecology and Endocrinology found that DHEA supplements helped increase bone mineral density in the hip and thigh bones of females. Depression: DHEA may help some people with clinical depression. A 2020 research review found that DHEA had more of a positive effect on people with depression than a placebo, but not enough of a benefit to yet recommend it as a treatment. Fertility with IVF: A small study involving 77 women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) reported that those over the age of 38 who took DHEA supplements were more likely to get pregnant than those who did not take the supplement.6 And a research review in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews concluded that DHEA may improve the birth rate in females who do not initially respond to IVF. Some people use DHEA supplements for the following, but there’s no scientific evidence proving they’re effective: Bodybuilding and sports: DHEA supplements are frequently marketed as testosterone boosters that can help increase muscle mass, reduce fat, and improve athletic performance—but there is no solid evidence supporting these claims. Even so, groups like the International Olympic Committee, National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibit the use of DHEA by athletes. Heart disease: Low levels of DHEAs in the blood are associated with an increased risk of heart disease. However, there is not yet research that shows that supplementing with DHEA reduces this risk or is safe. Treatment for chronic disease: DHEA has been studied as a treatment for lupus, adrenal insufficiency, irritable bowel disease, and asthma. However, there is no research that proves it boosts immunity or effectively treats these conditions. DHEA: Dosage, Uses, Benefits, and Side Effects
This blend was built to help with DHEA ~ DHEA-s – deficiency! This can significantly increase the risk of getting certain cancers (including breast, ovarian, prostate, and bladder), atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, nervous system degeneration, and other age-related conditions. Our DHEA production naturally peaks between 20-25 years of age and then steadily declines. Many in our society see a sharp decline due to overburdened adrenals that are unable to synthesize adequate DHEA. This hormone is made from cholesterol by the adrenal glands and is a precursor to eighteen steroid hormones including the commonly known sex hormones estrogen and testosterone. Healthy DHEA production is critical for lean muscle development, fat burning, bone growth, skin health, and immunity. In this blend we added Turmeric Powder, Ginger Powder, Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano, Cinnamon Powder are Powerful anti-inflammatory herbs and should be generously consumed on a regular basis. This is the basis of a healthy lifestyle. To that we added Maca Root Powder. This is a radish-like root that has several health benefits. According to “Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine,” maca is an adaptogen, meaning this root has the capacity to raise your body’s resistance to disease including the ability to relieve symptoms of menopause and the ability to slow down the aging process. Maca’s health benefits result from this root’s ability to enhance your hormonal system function and support adequate levels of DHEA, progesterone, testosterone, estrogen, and the human growth hormone in your body. We added Wild Yam Root because it contains diosgenin, a phytoestrogen that you can convert into progesterone.
We added Ashwagandha Powder because it is one of the world’s most renowned herbs overall. As an apoptogenic herb, it provides an energetic rejuvenating lift while at the same time calming and soothing the nerves. Chemically, it is remarkable like ginseng yet is far superior in relieving stress. Ashwagandha help the adrenals, it boosts thyroid hormone, preventing stress via thyroid burnout or under-active thyroid and it is an aphrodisiac, increasing libido and performance in 70% of men who use it. In addition, we added Holy Basil also known as Tulsi because it can be super helpful for treating fatigue and energy depletion. This makes it a safe herb for treating general fatigue. It is great for lowering cortisol during times of stress, and it also lowers total cholesterol while stimulating the immune system. Ginseng Powder aids cardiovascular disorders, including heart attack and heart disease, lowers high blood pressure, inhibits growth and formation of liver cancer cells, which is one of the most difficult cancers to resolve! It is the second strongest adaptogen, it is of course hormone balancing for both men and women as well as an aphrodisiac for both men and women! It is the only herb to clinically evaluate as a plant source of testosterone. Rhodiola Root was added to enhance the body’s energy systems and support your glands’ natural ability to regain normal function without creating extra burdens for your glands. Also, these herbs can restore your adrenal and thyroid function, allowing your body to rehabilitate energy molecules such as adrenaline and exert control over hormones such as cortisol and DHEA. When it comes to dissolving the excessive cortisol in the blood (which can weaken the immune system) Rhodiola is King. It has a calming effect on the body as cortisol is dissolved. However, it really depends on your unique adrenal output and on how you will react – most people experience more alertness when taking Rhodiola because it helps slightly stimulate under-active adrenal and thyroid. As a sidenote, cortisol is not the culprit – it is necessary to live and a powerful anti-inflammatory and is what wakes us up in the morning. To top off this blend we added our Steep Me Medical Mushroom Blend. These Medical Mushrooms will help your body utilize oxygen and stimulate blood flow and will help with weight loss, boost the immune system, and fight cancerous cells. Another feature that makes these mushrooms remarkable is their potent calming properties, as it contains a compound known as triterpene. The calming effects of mushroom blends are valuable for alleviating anxiety, minimizing depression, and promoting better sleep. The triterpene compound also helps in maximizing healing and accelerating healing.
