Uses of Dehydroepiandrosterone+folic Acid
Medicinal Benefits
Dehydroepiandrosterone+folic Acid is used to improve fertility rates in conjunction with IVF. It is also used to treat symptoms of menopause such as vaginal dryness, osteoporosis and mood swings. Dehydroepiandrosterone helps in follicular stimulation, thus promoting healthy egg cell production and bettering the chances of pregnancy. Folic acid is very important in the production of new and healthy blood cells. Folic acid acts as a promoter in the manufacturing of mood-lifting hormones Serotonin, Dopamine and Norepinephrine, which are responsible for regulating mood and helping combat depression. Additionally, it is vital in the maintenance of foetal growth and development and thus an essential element in pregnancy. In conjunction, Dehydroepiandrosterone+folic Acid is hence used to treat infertility and mood changes related to hormonal imbalance.
