DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is the most abundant base buiding block for hormones in our bodies. Humans make more and more DHEA until about age 25; then produce about 2% less per year.
DHEA supplementation is not recommended for people under age 25.
DHEA Side Effects
DHEA is very safe and very beneficial for many reasons. DHEA has not been found to have any dangerous side effects.
Rare side effects are skin blemishes, hair growth, and increased sex drive. If these side effects occur reduce amount used or discontinue use. Safety during pregnancy and/or lactation has not been established.
Why would maintaining healthy levels of something our bodies make and use be harmful or dangerous?
In fact, people with low levels of DHEA are at greater risk of developing cancer than people with higher levels of DHEA. DHEA is protective against development of prostate cancer as well as breast cancer. DHEA is used for its beneficial protective effects against cancer rather than avoided for fear of any negative effects. Follow your physician’s recommendations about using DHEA If you have a hormone sensitive cancer.
Twist 25 DHEA cream is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Is DHEA supplementation ‘performance enhancing’? Yes. It allows for leaner muscle tone, faster recovery after workouts and reduced abdominal fat; as well as improving energy levels. So, is DHEA a ‘performance enhancer’ Yes. Should professional, collegiate, and Olympic athletes know this? Yes.
Most people 35 and up are not professional, collegiate or Olympic athletes. Twist 25 DHEA cream is sold as an anti-aging supplement cream.
Twist 25 is a 5% bioidentical transdermal DHEA supplement cream. It is gently absorbed through the skin.
Pharmaceutical DHEA is made from diosgenin. Diosgenin is made from wild yam root. But concoctions made of wild yam root ingested internally or applied externally do not provide DHEA supplementation.
DHEA is actually metabolized into hormones in the endocrine glands and the skin - the epidermis and dermis.
Oral DHEA taken as a pill is destroyed by the "first-pass effect" of the liver. The liver filters out most DHEA before it can do any good; what does get into the bloodstream is DHEA-S (DHEA sulphate).
DHEA-S is a different pro-hormone and has different benefits than DHEA. Medical research shows DHEA is converted into DHEA-S, but not the other way around. DHEA-S is not converted by the body into DHEA. (Hammer et al)
Twist 25 supplements DHEA rather than DHEA-S.
Research studies of “DHEA” that showed little significant benefit(s) to "DHEA" were done using oral DHEAsupplements. As a consequence were actually only testing the effects of "DHEA"(sulphate) supplementation. These studies did not test DHEA supplementation with the proper method of administration.
One full pump press of Twist 25 DHEA cream rubbed-into the skin provides about 20 MG absorbable bioidentical DHEA.
Bioidentical DHEA is what the body uses, Twist 25 DHEA provides DHEA where the body uses it.
Twist 25 DHEA supplement cream can provide noticeable advantages to help us look and feel our best and diminish many aspects of aging. But it must be used correctly. A transdermal bioidentical DHEA supplement is most effective.
Apply one full pump press to the inner forearm and rub into the abdomen in a circular motion for about 10 seconds.
Professional athletes are not allowed to use DHEA supplements because they are performance enhancing.
