Maintain Mental and Physical Ability with DHEA and Vitamin D

Research shows that as we age “declining health is the number one concern (37%) about getting older, followed by financial worries (23%) and dependence on others (6%). Asked their greatest fear about growing old, Americans mentioned losing mental capacity twice as often as declining physical ability (62% vs. 29% respectively). 84% of Americans surveyed said they believe they can do things to stay healthy as they age, and 83% say they are currently taking steps to do so. Of those, more than half (56%) of Americans surveyed say they are exercising and 26% are watching their diet.”1

A recent article posted on Endocrineweb.com was titled “Vitamin D and DHEA Help Men Avoid Frailty: Study.” The article was about a recent medical study that showed that older men (age 70 -88) who had higher levels of Vitamin D had better bone health, muscle mass and strength.2 In another study, Australian researchers evaluated more than 4,000 older men ages 70 to 88, and they likewise found that vitamin D levels predicted independently who would become frail.3

So, there is very convincing medical research that shows that maintaining vitamin D levels as we get older is very important. In addition, reliable peer reviewed medical research shows that low levels of DHEA in older men were also found to increase the risk of becoming frail.4 Men and women with higher levels of DHEA have been found to have stronger bones; and better cognition as measured by memory, verbal fluency and visuospatial awareness.5

DHEA is a naturally occurring pro-hormone that our bodies produce more and more of each year from birth through puberty and into adulthood. But then DHEA production levels out between the ages of about 20 to 25 and begins to decline. After age 25, DHEA levels decrease by about 2 percent each year. So by age 35, we produce 20% less than when we were in our prime; by age 50, we only produce about half as much DHEA as we did at age 25. The decrease continues to where, by age 75, we are only producing 5 or 10% of optimum levels. To stave off this decline, it would be better to supplement DHEA levels as we get older, as shown in the graph below. Simply apply a little Twist 25 DHEA cream morning and evening each day to help maintain your DHEA level.

It is very important to be sure you’re using a quality DHEA supplement. When you shop for a DHEA supplement, there are low-cost products available, but ‘buyer beware!’ There is a price to pay for inferior quality. Twist 25 DHEA cream is made with pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and provides bioidentical DHEA the right way, absorbed in the skin.  Twist 25 DHEA cream is made with coconut oil, vitamin E and coenzyme Q-10.  Developed by a Board Certified medical doctor and specialized cream chemists, Twist 25 cream is available without a prescription.

DHEA supports bone strength and cartilage formation

Are you feeling the aches and pains of getting older? Do your knees or knuckles hurt? Let’s face it, we’re all getting older. But now we can do something about it. Stave off those arthritic aches and pains.  Not pain killers...Do something to maintain healthy joints!

Several recent medical research studies have shown that dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) helps to protect against arthritis. The medical research findings showed that DHEA could potentially help stave off the development of and progression of osteoarthritis (OA) because DHEA allows for enhanced cartilage formation.(1) That’s great news !

The medical research findings continue to support maintaining DHEA levels. Why? Well, The Life Extension Foundation's medical research team explains the scientific findings here: 

“The role and therapeutic potential of the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in male and female rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients is supported by a broad base of evidence."(2)
 
These findings are further supported by peer reviewed medical research performed at Washington University School of Medicine by doctors Villareal, Holloszy and Kohrt. The research study is titled “Effects of DHEA replacement on bone mineral density and body composition in elderly women and men” The research showed that DHEA supplementation in older men and women could help improve age related changes in fat mass and improve bone mineral density (BMD).(3)

It’s a good idea to ask your health provider about DHEA. If he or she is not familiar with the research, be sure to share these findings and information about Twist 25 DHEA cream being a more beneficial way to use DHEA than oral DHEA. 

Physicians believe that DHEA helps maintain strong bones as we get older in part because DHEA is a precursor to estrogen and testosterone, both of which are known to help reduce bone loss; but it appears that DHEA also has separate bone preserving effects that are unrelated to its metabolism into other hormones. The Mayo Clinic indicates that “Evidence suggests that higher DHEA levels may be linked to higher bone density, particularly in women who have undergone menopause. Research reports that DHEA supplements may help increase bone density.”(4)

After considering these medical research findings that show DHEA helps support bone strength, cartilage and connective tissue formation, while it also reduces inflammation, it makes sense to conclude that DHEA is a great way to combat arthritis. 

Fight those aches and pains !We invite you to use Twist 25 DHEA Cream twice daily for three weeks and see for yourself. Naturally maintain youthful energy to look your best and feel your best!

When You Feel Great, You Look Great!

It’s all the little things we do each day like exercise, eating a healthy diet, adequate hydration and sleep and sunshine that keep us healthy. When you take care of yourself, it shows.

So no wonder, after a few months, people start asking Twist25 cream users “What have you been doing? You look so good.”

It’s because DHEA is a crucial prohormone or base from which the body produces hormones. It’s the most abundant hormone precursor. DHEA also helps connective tissue and bone formation; and DHEA supports neuronal cells and bone cells to form.  DHEA also counterbalances the negative inflammatory effects of cortisol, the stress hormone. DHEA supports the immune system by increasing the number of and activity of natural killer cells.

Humans are at their best in their reproductive prime between the ages of 18 to 25 years, while they are naturally producing the most DHEA. But from age 25, males and females start making 2% less DHEA each year. So by age 35 we are all producing 20% less DHEA than when we were “in our prime” or “at our best”, and by age 50 we are only producing half as much. This gradual decline continues, as do levels of 50 downstream hormones that all use DHEA as a base or precursor.

It makes sense to maintain good health from age 35 and up with Twist 25 DHEA cream. Medical research findings reveal why it’s best to use DHEA as a cream instead of a pill. The effectiveness speaks for itself. Feel the difference.

Twist 25 DHEA cream is applied each day as a specially made bioidentical skin cream with a coconut oil base, Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q-10. It’s one of the best things you can do to maintain your health, mood, quality of sleep, energy, muscle tone, cardiovascular health, skin, and immune system. DHEA is the most abundant prohormone in the human body. Make your own hormones.

Maintaining good health is a much better strategy than letting things gradually deteriorate. It is much harder to regain health and hormonal balance once lost. Dr. John Woodward, M.D., a bioidentical hormone replacement specialist at Medical City Dallas, TX advises that staving off hormonal declines is much better and more effective than trying to replace hormones and good health once lost.

As hormones decline signs of menopause or andropause begin to show up as hot flashes, bad mood, poor quality sleep, low energy, weight gain, and lack of mental sharpness or focus.

Meanwhile, cardiovascular health, risks of cancer, metabolic syndrome and depression increase as hormone levels decrease. Many people deceive themselves and deny that anything is happening because the decline is very slow and gradual. There is no dramatic incident that forces us to do something additional with no real obvious need to.

Little by little good health is lost. Usually, we attribute this very inconspicuous, easily ignored and gradual process of decline to “aging”.

Do something to slow the decline.

Use Twist 25 DHEA cream daily to stave off the decline. From age 35 on up we should aim to maintain DHEA and hormone levels for optimal health. After age 35, use Twist 25 cream. Make your own hormones. Feel your best and look your best with Twist 25 DHEA cream. 

A Natural Advantage

Simple things keep us in good health and in harmony with our world—sunlight, exercise, sleep, eating right. Maintaining these healthy practices over time can create an abundance of good health and happiness.

DHEA is a helper hormone. Much like vitamin D3 acts as a provitamin, helping vitamins and minerals in the body do what they do better, DHEA helps the body make and use hormones naturally. After age 25, we make about 2 percent less DHEA per year.

Twist 25 DHEA cream, made with coconut oil, co-enzyme Q-10 and vitamin E provides the DHEA that the body makes and uses naturally. Applied onto thin, hairless skin, Twist 25 helps men and women over 35 maintain and regain that healthy edge. Establishing a natural advantage like this early on makes a great difference in how you age.

Maintaining health, quality of life, and appearance is important to each of us. Use Twist 25 DHEA cream to provide the natural, biologic compound that helps your body make the hormones that keep you looking and feeling better.

It’s a natural advantage!
