A US-licensed clinician reviews your symptoms and, where indicated, your labs, then prescribes bioidentical DHEA only when it fits your history. Compounded in the USA by licensed 503A pharmacies. No hidden overseas supply chain.

What it is

An adrenal building block, prescribed as real medical care

DHEA is a hormone made by your adrenal glands that your body uses as a precursor, a building block it draws on to make other hormones. DHEA levels fall steadily with age. Bioidentical DHEA is structurally identical to what your body produces, and your clinician can prescribe it as a topical cream or a capsule, including a 7-keto form, depending on your picture.

This is a clinical process, not a supplement bought off a shelf. A US-licensed clinician reviews your history and, where it informs the decision, your labs such as DHEA-S, and writes a prescription only when appropriate. Every dose is compounded in the USA by a licensed 503A pharmacy. Compounded DHEA is not an FDA-approved drug.

How it fits your plan

Form, dose, and lab-guided review

01

Cream or capsule

Your clinician selects the form from your goals and history, whether a topical cream, an oral capsule, or a 7-keto form. The choice is a clinical one, made with you.

02

Part of a broader plan

DHEA is often one piece of a broader hormone plan rather than a standalone answer. Your clinician decides how it fits alongside your other hormones, if any.

03

Lab-guided

Where it informs the decision, your clinician reviews DHEA-S and related labs, then adjusts the form or dose over time so your plan reflects what your body is missing.

Sourcing and safety

Bioidentical, US-compounded, and prescribed by a clinician of record.

From who writes the prescription to where your DHEA is compounded, the chain behind your medication is transparent by design. This is prescribed DHEA, not an unregulated supplement.

A clinician of record

Compounded in the USA

Your bioidentical DHEA is compounded in the USA by a licensed 503A pharmacy under your prescription. No hidden overseas supply chain.

Labs where indicated

Where it informs the decision, your clinician reviews DHEA-S and related hormone panels so your plan reflects what your body is missing.

Who it's for

For women and men addressing a decline in a foundational hormone.

DHEA is considered for adults with a documented or suspected decline, evaluated against their history and, where indicated, their labs. Eligibility is a clinical decision made by your prescriber.

  • Energy, drive, or a general sense of vitality has flattened with age
  • Your clinician has flagged or you want to evaluate a low DHEA-S level
  • You want DHEA as a considered part of a broader hormone plan
  • You want bioidentical DHEA prescribed and monitored, not bought as an unregulated supplement

Your clinician reviews your history and prescribes only when the evidence supports it. Not everyone qualifies, and if DHEA is not appropriate you are never charged for a medication you were not prescribed.

DHEA questions

Things people ask before they sign up.

If something is not here, reach out, we'd rather answer it plainly than have you guess.

What is bioidentical DHEA?

DHEA is a hormone made by your adrenal glands that your body uses as a building block for others. Bioidentical DHEA is structurally identical to it, compounded in the USA by a licensed 503A pharmacy under your prescription. It is prescribed by a US-licensed clinician and is not an FDA-approved drug.

How is prescribed DHEA different from the supplement?

Over-the-counter DHEA is an unregulated supplement of variable quality. What you receive here is prescribed by a US-licensed clinician, dosed to your labs and history, and compounded in the USA by a licensed 503A pharmacy under your individual prescription.

Is it a cream or a capsule?

Both forms exist, including a 7-keto capsule, and your clinician selects the one that fits your goals and history. The choice is a clinical decision made with you.

Will my labs be reviewed first?

Where it informs the decision, yes. Your clinician may review DHEA-S and related hormone panels so your plan reflects what your body needs.

How much does it cost?

The online visit is free. If a clinician prescribes, the program is $139/month on the 3-month plan ($417 billed every 3 months), covering the medication, clinician care, and shipping. Plans are HSA and FSA eligible.
