On July, 1995, the news media announced the stunning results found with DHEA research. These results were then given at a major conference in Washington, D.C. on DHEA. Apparently, the older men participating in the experiments had shown dramatic improvement in their lean mass to body fat ratio, had more youthful skin texture, increased energy, less stress, increased libido(dramatically for women), and an enhanced immune
