DHEA-S

μmol/L

Adrenal androgen often bundled into 'optimization' panels. Causal behavioral evidence is thin.

DHEA-S declines with age and correlates with perceived vitality in some observational series. Supplementation trials do not support a reliable effect on status, cognition, or income. Treat it as a biomarker looking for a job.

Also called DHEAS, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate.
