Method of replenishing steroid hormones in neutered mammals comprising administration of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and specific metabolites in order to increase steroid hormone levels from those of neutered mammals associated with high cancer risk, to steroid hormone levels of gonadally-intact mammals associated with reduced cancer risk, without inducing the side effects that would occur without metabolite supplementation.
The low steroid hormone levels of neutered or aging mammals is associated with a dramatic increase in risk of cancer. This invention pertains to a natural method of replenishing the low steroid hormone levels of neutered or aging mammals, levels that are associated with high cancer risk, to levels of those of non-neutered or young animals, levels that are associated with a low cancer risk. The invention also pertains to methods of maintaining healthy levels of several important natural metabolites that can become depleted during the steroid hormone replenishment process.
