As a leading global supplier of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical raw materials, huarong pharma takes pride in offering premium-grade Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). A key endogenous steroid hormone precursor with extensive nutraceutical applications, our DHEA stands out for its exceptional purity, stable quality, and compliance with international standards, making it the preferred choice for manufacturers in dietary supplements, functional foods, and health products industries worldwide.
Product Overview: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), also known as prasterone, is a naturally occurring steroid hormone precursor produced by the adrenal glands. It plays a crucial role in the synthesis of sex hormones (estrogens and androgens) and supports various physiological functions. Our DHEA is synthesized via advanced bio-technical processes, ensuring high purity and consistent quality, ideal for formulating high-value nutraceutical products.

Core Advantages of Huarong Pharma's DHEA
Ultra-High Purity: Our DHEA achieves a purity of over 99.0% with minimal impurities (single impurity ≤0.5%), ensuring excellent bioactivity and safety for nutraceutical applications. The low heavy metal content (Pb≤0.5ppm, Hg≤0.1ppm) meets the strictest global standards.
Stable Production Process: Produced in GMP-certified facilities using advanced synthesis technology, our DHEA maintains consistent batch-to-batch quality. It exhibits good thermal stability and solubility, suitable for various formulation processes such as tablet pressing, capsule filling, and powder blending.
Comprehensive Traceability: We implement a full-chain traceability system from raw material sourcing to finished product delivery. Customers can access batch-specific COA (Certificate of Analysis), production records, and third-party testing reports anytime, ensuring transparency and regulatory compliance.
Customized Services: We offer flexible particle size options (80-120 mesh, 120-200 mesh) and packaging solutions (1kg/aluminum foil bag, 25kg/fiber drum with desiccant) to meet diverse customer needs. Our technical team provides professional support for formulation optimization and solubility enhancement.
Wide-Ranging Applications
Our DHEA is widely used in the nutraceutical and health product industries, leveraging its unique physiological functions:
Dietary Supplements: Formulated into capsules, tablets, and powders as a key ingredient for anti-aging, energy enhancement, and hormonal balance support products, popular among middle-aged and elderly consumers. Application Case: A U.S.-based nutraceutical brand launched a "Golden Age Hormone Balance Capsule" using Huarong Pharma's DHEA (≥99.0% purity). The high purity ensured consistent bioactivity-clinical trials showed 32% improved fatigue symptoms and 28% better sleep quality in middle-aged participants after 12 weeks. Unlike competitors with fluctuating impurity levels, our batch-to-batch consistency helped the product maintain steady efficacy, driving annual sales of over $5 million within 18 months.
Sports Nutrition: Added to pre-workout or recovery supplements to help improve muscle strength, reduce fatigue, and support post-exercise recovery, favored by fitness enthusiasts and athletes. Application Case: A European sports nutrition company developed a "Post-Workout Recovery Powder" with our customized 120-200 mesh DHEA. The fine particle size optimized water solubility, ensuring fast absorption. In an 8-week study with 100 athletes, muscle soreness duration decreased by 40% and lean muscle mass increased by 2.3kg on average. Our GMP-produced DHEA's stability also prevented degradation during powder blending, maintaining potency throughout the product shelf life.
Functional Foods & Beverages: Incorporated into health drinks, protein bars, and fortified foods to provide value-added nutritional benefits, meeting the demand for convenient health management. Application Case: A Japanese beverage manufacturer introduced a "Morning Energy Shot" with Huarong Pharma's microencapsulated DHEA. Our proprietary microencapsulation technology (tailored for acidic environments) masked bitterness and prevented oxidation-critical for beverage stability. The 10mg/serving product captured 15% of Japan's functional beverage market in 6 months, as consumers valued its smooth taste and 12-month shelf life (3 months longer than similar products using non-encapsulated DHEA).
Cosmeceuticals: Used in anti-aging skincare products (e.g., serums, creams) for its potential to support skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines, bridging the gap between cosmetics and nutraceuticals. Application Case: A South Korean cosmeceutical brand launched an "Anti-Aging Night Serum" with 0.5% of our ultra-pure DHEA (99.5% purity). The low impurity profile (single impurity ≤0.3%) enabled compliance with EU cosmetics regulations for steroid-derived ingredients. Clinical tests on 45-55-year-old women showed 21% reduced fine lines and 18% improved elasticity in 8 weeks-results attributed to the high bioavailability of our pure DHEA, which penetrated skin layers without irritation.
