Anti-ageing hormone pill 'boosts pregnancy'

In what's being claimed as the world's first clinical trial, Israeli scientists have found evidence that an anti-ageing hormone pill could dramatically boost a woman's chances of conceiving. DHEA is produced in the brain, ovaries and testes and is the most common hormone in the human body. Its levels peak in people in their 20s and then rapidly plummet by the 30s. A team at Tel Aviv University was stunned by the results of a small study carried out with their patients, some of whom took the DHEA hormone supplement. Lead scientist Adrian Shulman of Tel Aviv University was quoted by the 'Daily Express' as saying, "We believed that a reduction in this hormone has a part to play in older women having difficulty in conceiving when using IVF. "The results achieved were beyond our wildest dreams. We never believed there would be a 300 per cent increase in a woman's chances of becoming pregnant when she took the hormone supplement."
