Hormones
The "Chemical Nervous System"
Hormones are the chemical messengers of the endocrine
system, also called the “chemical nervous system.” Nearly every
bodily process depends on hormones. Some hormones decline with age
and this decline is believed to contribute to the aging process.
Such hormones include:
DHEA: (dehydroepiandosterone),
is a “master hormone” produced by the adrenal glands. It
can be converted into other steroid hormones including sex hormones
and corticosteroids. Levels of DHEA often drop dramatically after
the age of 35.
Low DHEA levels are linked to diabetes,
obesity, elevated cholesterol levels, arthritis, heart disease,
and autoimmune disease. Supplementation may be useful in these
conditions.
DHEA may help prevent age-related memory loss,
joint discomfort, fatigue, insomnia, depressed immunity and
diminished muscle mass by maintaining many other hormones at
youthful levels.

Melatonin
is a hormone manufactured from serotonin by the pineal gland. This
hormone helps regulate the sleep/wake cycle and set the Circadian
rhythms (24-hour cycle) of the body. This, in turn, sets the
“rhythm” of release of all other hormones.
Melatonin is also a powerful antioxidant
that helps protect the central nervous system against injury,
disease and aging. Melatonin increases production of immune cells
and is often used in cancer medicine for its immune-enhancing,
antioxidant effects. (Do NOT use in leukemia and lymphoma until
more is known).
Many researchers consider melatonin to be one
of the most powerful anti-aging substances available.
