DHEA-S

Also known as Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate

An adrenal steroid that declines steadily with age — a sensitive marker of adrenal-reserve capacity and biological-age metrics.

Definition

DHEA-S is the sulfated form of dehydroepiandrosterone, the most abundant circulating steroid. It falls steadily with age — by the 70s, levels are typically 20% of peak young-adult values. Low DHEA-S is associated with blunted stress response and reduced bone density; supraphysiological replacement carries risks in both sexes. Measurement is useful for longevity-focused baseline labs.
