It seems that sexual satisfaction is widely publicized and brought forward with significance when it comes to men, but rarely do we hear about addressing women’s sexual needs. This discrepancy is not only highlighted in the media, but it is clear that it translates through the pharmaceutical industry, where commercially available products for men’s sexual health are aplenty, while products for female sexual satisfaction are limited.

What potential can come from utilizing DHEA Supplementation?
One of the important hormones that is naturally made by the adrenal glands near the kidneys and by the liver is Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). DHEA levels seem to go down as people get older. DHEA levels are usually lower in people with depression, postmenopausal women, individuals with chronic pain, and many other conditions.
Supplementing with DHEA is claimed to improve energy, slow down signs of aging, improve muscle strength and athletic performance, infertility, and many other conditions. But is it really the magic solution that it is claimed to be?
What Are Potential Benefits of DHEA?
Menopausal Symptoms
DHEA is likely effective for menopausal symptoms such as thinning of vaginal tissue (vaginal atrophy). With menopause and declining hormone levels, women often experience thinning of the vaginal tissue. This can cause pain during sex. Using vaginal inserts containing DHEA can reduce pain during
Can the answer to erectile dysfunction in men and female sexual dysfunction in women be “NO” or Nitric Oxide?
Ground Breaking Discovery
In 1998, the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded to 3 scientists for their discoveries concerning Nitric Oxide (NO) and its important role in the cardiovascular system.
Nitric Oxide and Why We Need It
Not to be confused with Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) that some dentists use, Nitric Oxide can open blood vessels and help bring nutrients to various parts of the body.
Nitric Oxide dilates the blood vessels and increases healthy blood circulation to your skin, your brain, your heart, your muscles, joints, genitals, and more.
Nitric Oxide can also play a very important role in healing and recovering from inflammation and chronic diseases.
The thyroid gland affects the function of just about every organ system in the body and is an essential component in the balance between female hormones and the adrenal gland. For the other hormones to work together, the thyroid hormones must first be balanced.
The thyroid gland is controlled by the pituitary gland, which produces thyroid stimulating hormone, or TSH. TSH regulates two of the four thyroid hormones that are produced by the thyroid gland—triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). The other thyroid hormones, T1 and T2, are the results of iodination of tyrosine molecules, and do not require clinical correction. There is an inverse relationship between TSH and T3/T4; if the thyroid does not produce enough T4, the pituitary will secrete more TSH to stimulate T4 release. T4 is then converted to T3 by a deiodinase enzyme.
It is common practice to prescribe only T4 to patients who may be suffering from hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid); however, a study from the
