DHEA Sulphate (DHEAS) Blood Test
DHEA Sulphate, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, can be measured using a simple finger-prick blood test.
- DHEA is a precursor for multiple hormones in the body such as testosterone and oestradiol. Both men and woman may want to check their DHEA levels to check if they have hormonal imbalances, such as low testosterone in males or excessive DHEA in females.

Why take a DHEA blood test?
DHEA often referred to as the anti-aging hormone due to its countless health benefits is often over looked when monitoring a persons health. Healthy levels of DHEA are linked to health benefits such as increased metabolism and cardiovascular health. Common uses for a DHEA test include: checking for hormone imbalances in men and women, identifying tumours, identifying adrenal disorders and checking testosterone levels.
Experts Opinion on DHEA Tests
"Elevated DHEA levels are seen in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). They are also seen in adrenal insufficiency conditions and can show how well the adrenal glands are working.
Low levels of DHEAS are sometimes seen in a range of symptoms, including low libido, erectile dysfunction, dehydration, weight loss, dizziness, and nausea."
