Dehydroepiandrosterone (Micronized) (75mg) + Coenzyme Q10 (75mg) (Medical Monograph)

Overview

A fixed-dose combination of a micronized adrenal androgen precursor (DHEA) and a vital mitochondrial coenzyme (CoQ10). DHEA serves as a prohormone for sex steroids, while CoQ10 is essential for cellular energy production and acts as an antioxidant. This combination is primarily used as a nutraceutical supplement to address age-related decline, support energy metabolism, and improve general well-being, particularly in the context of fatigue and suboptimal hormone levels. The micronization of DHEA enhances its dissolution and absorption profile.

DHEA is an endogenous steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex. It acts as a precursor for the synthesis of androgens (testosterone) and estrogens (estradiol) in peripheral tissues, exerting its effects indirectly through these sex steroids. CoQ10 is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like compound located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is an essential component of the electron transport chain (Complex I, II, and III) for ATP synthesis and also functions as a potent antioxidant, protecting cell membranes and LDL cholesterol from oxidative damage. The combination aims to support hormonal balance and cellular energy production simultaneously.
