DHEA Must Be Used As Transdermal Bioidentical DHEA Cream to Be Effective

DHEA is the most abundant building block for hormones in our bodies. Hormones control how we feel, energy, mood, how productive we are and how we respond to our environment.

DHEA is a base building block for the hormones we produce. DHEA is a base for estrogen, testosterone and about 50 other hormones. Levels of DHEA peak by about age 25 when we are “in our prime” and decline thereafter. By age 35-45 people notice the effects of decreasing DHEA levels - gain weight, lose muscle tone, lack energy, mental sharpness, and drive.

The right way to supplement DHEA levels is with a pharmaceutical grade bioidentical DHEA that matches what our bodies produce naturally, delivered to the body where it occurs naturally – in the skin. This means DHEA must be used as a transdermal cream not as a pill.

DHEA pills are ineffective because when taken orally the DHEA is filtered out by the liver before it can enter the bloodstream and do any good; and what does get into the bloodstream is DHEA-suphate not DHEA.  DHEA sulphate has far fewer benefits than DHEA.

Medical research shows that DHEA is converted by the body into DHEA-Sulphate, but not the other way around: DHEA-S cannot be converted to DHEA. So by taking oral DHEA supplements people are only able to supplement DHEA-S levels, not DHEA levels.* Twist 25 DHEA cream provides bioidentical transdermal DHEA that is absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin.

The human body converts most DHEA into other hormones in the skin**. So Twist 25 bioidentical transdermal DHEA cream provides what the body uses where we use it - in the skin.

Twist 25 also contains vitamin E, Coenzyme Q-10, and Omega 3 and Omega 6 oils – all support good health.

If you are 35 or up, rub in Twist 25 cream daily for 3 weeks and feel the many subtle benefits of DHEA the right way. Feel your best and look your best with Twist 25.
