hormone precursor influencing sex hormones and hair growth
Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA-S) is a hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands, and it serves as a precursor to male and female sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. It plays a role in the development of secondary sexual characteristics and can influence hair growth and skin health. Elevated or decreased levels of DHEA-S can be indicative of various health conditions, such as adrenal disorders or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
