DHEA is best delivered to the body as a transdermal bioidentical cream --not as a pill.
Orally ingested DHEA is destroyed by the liver. The liver filters DHEA from the blood before it can do any good. What does get into the bloodstream is DHEA sulphate not DHEA.
Unfortunately, most research studies of “DHEA” have been done using oral DHEA supplements (in pill form). These studies showed little significant benefit to "DHEA" (sulphate) supplementation. The reason: oral DHEA provides DHEA sulphate, a very different pro-hormone than DHEA, with far fewer benefits.
Another reason Twist 25 is the top quality supplement. DHEA is best delivered to the body as a transdermal bioidentical cream -- not as a pill.
“Bioidentical” means “the same as what the body makes”. In other words, a “bioidentical hormone” has the same molecular structure as what is produced by the human body. Studies show that bioidentical hormones are very safe and very effective because they are the same as what the body naturally uses. DHEA is a naturally occurring compound produced by the adrenal glands, gonads, and skin.
The body metabolizes most DHEA into other hormones in the skin. Twist 25 is absorbable bioidentical DHEA. Twist 25 DHEA cream provides what the body uses where we use it, in the skin.
Twist 25 DHEA cream is tested for safety with human study participants and Twist 25 is also tested by an independent laboratory.
