There are many effects of aging that people want to avoid. Our moods change, we experience a loss of vitality, our energy levels drop, and our social interactions are different. These changes are caused by a variety of natural processes, one of which is a decline in DHEA production.
DHEA is a prohormone that our body uses as a building block for hormones. It is the base for estrogen, testosterone, estrone, estradiol and about 50 other important hormones. DHEA production is at its highest when we are in our prime around the age of 25. After 25 production levels decrease by about 2% each year so by the time we are 35 our natural DHEA production has dropped 20%.
To keep DHEA in the body at a youthful level it is important to take a DHEA supplement. The most effective way to use DHEA is not as a pill, but as a cream. When taken in pill form DHEA is destroyed by the liver and does not give you the full benefit. When used as a transdermal cream DHEA is absorbed by the body directly through the skin where it can be used to build the different hormones that control our lives.
Studies have been done that have shown DHEA has positive effects in addition to helping you maintain youthful levels of hormones. A study by the University of California – San Francisco saw a subject improve her scores for both depression and memory. Another study by Dennis T. Villareal, MD and John O. Holloszy, MD found that DHEA therapy was able to reduce abdominal fat in elderly patients.
Twist 25 is a transdermal DHEA cream supplement that can help return your DHEA levels to the peak of your natural production. As a 5% transdermal pharmaceutical grade bioidentical cream it is among the most effective ways to use DHEA. Using Twist 25 every day for three weeks will allow a person over the age of 35 to feel the positive effects of DHEA therapy.
