Things You'll Need

• DH-EA supplements

1. DH-EA supplements are currently available as injections, capsules, or tablets. The usual daily doses range from 15 to 50 mg. per day. Higher doses can cause undesirable side effects. DH-EA supplements are available without a prescription. Any DH-EA that you buy is synthetic DH-EA, as real DH-EA can only be made by your body.

2. DH-EA can be naturally increased in the body with exercise. DH-EA that is raised naturally within the body is the safest and exercise has other benefits as well.

3. Carbohydrate restriction can also raise DH-EA levels in the body. A diet low in carbohydrates not only raises DH-EA, but it can be conducive to weight loss.

4. Stress can suppress DH-EA levels in the body. Try to reduce as much stress in your life as possible. Meditation can be a great way to relieve stress.

5. Diet can play a big part in raising your DH-EA. Eat plenty of foods with omega-3 fatty acids such as those found in olive oil.

6. Get plenty of sleep. When you don't get adequate sleep, your adrenal glands get run down and can not produce the required amount of DH-EA.
