A member asked:
Does dhea-s have different levels throughout the day like testosterone or cortisol? how/where is it made in the body? when is it made?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes--highest in AM: DHEA is produced in the adrenals. It is the most abundant steroid hormone in the body. The levels are highest from 4-8 AM. DHEA levels are highest in the early 20s, and drop progressively thereafter.
