Top 12 Reasons to Use Twist 25 DHEA Cream

  1. DHEA short for (dehydroepiandrosterone) is the most abundant compound our bodies use to produce hormones. It is a basic building block or precursor to most of the hormones we produce. 
  2. Medical research shows most DHEA is actually metabolized in the skin.
  3. After we are born, we make increasing amounts of DHEA until about age 25. Then we begin to make less and less (about 2% less per year) until death. By age 30, the body makes noticeably less DHEA. We feel it happen as we consequently begin to produce less of the hormones for which DHEA is a precursor. This why by age 35, most people say they are beginning to feel less energetic, less healthy, and tired. The aches and pains and weight gain begin when folks are less active. By age 45 to 55, women and men produce just half the DHEA they did when they were 25. By age 80, DHEA levels can decline to only 5% of the levels of someone who is 25.
  4. Research shows that the level of DHEA in a person’s blood is an excellent predictor of not only age-related health problems, cognitive decline and cardiovascular health, but also aging itself—as defined by energy levels and quality of life. Higher levels of DHEA are strongly associated with good health, while lower levels are strongly associated with numerous diseases.
  5. Low levels of DHEA are associated with increased risk of death from all causes. For example, low DHEA levels are associated with an increased risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease and cancer.
  6. Low levels of DHEA are associated with adult diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, asthma, obesity, depression, dementia, osteoporosis, and lupus to name but a few. 
  7. Leading endocrinologists indicate that optimal anti-aging will be achieved by maintaining DHEA levels at the level of a 30 year old.
  8. There is no medical research that associates DHEA supplementation with any serious or dangerous side effects.
  9. People over age 35 using Twist 25 DHEA cream report they have more energy, handle stress more easily, think more clearly, and generally feel better. Other benefits include stronger resistance to colds and flu, feeling leaner and fitter, having softer skin, more sex drive, and sleeping better at night.
  10. DHEA has no dangerous side effects. DHEA reduces all types of cancer risk. DHEA increases the number of and activity of natural killer cells, thereby strengthening the immune system.
  11. Twist 25 DHEA cream is applied each day on thin, hairless skin. One or two pump presses of cream are applied morning and evening each day. One full pump press of Twist 25 cream contains 25 Mg DHEA. Twist 25 cream is a coconut oil base cream. 
  12. DHEA also is a base for sebum, and helps the body to form connective tissue. DHEA reduces risk of skin cancer by protecting cells from UV and chemical carcinogens.

What is DHEA ? How to use DHEA – a daily skin cream called Twist 25

DHEA, short for dehydroepiandrosterone, is the most abundant naturally occurring pro-hormone in the body. It is a hormone precursor only occurring in humans and upper level primates.

DHEA was first identified in 1931 by Dr. Adolf Butenandt, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1939. Frequently called “the anti-aging hormone”, DHEA is a base for more than 50 hormones that are smaller or more specific carbon chain molecules in human biochemistry. As a precursor for all estrogenic and androgenic hormones, humans make DHEA naturally from birth. Men and women produce more and more DHEA every year until about age 25, when levels are at their peak. After age 25, DHEA levels begin to decline at a rate of about two percent per year thereafter.

What does DHEA do?
One of the primary roles for DHEA is a base hormone precursor. DHEA also supports the immune system
allowing for a greater number of and activity of natural killer (NK) cells. Low DHEA levels are associated
with many diseases of aging, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, depression and
dementia.

DHEA promotes tissue formation after exercise, and counterbalances the inflammatory effects of
cortisol. So it helps reduce soreness after workouts, and helps us to rebuild muscle, cartilage and bone.
DHEA also serves as a base for sebum (skin oil), protecting skin cells from both UV and chemical
carcinogens. In addition, DHEA stimulates formation of connective tissue and cartilage and improves
bone strength.

DHEA supports:

  • Energy, focus and mental acuity
  • Immune system
  • Lean muscle tone
  • Bone strength
  • Cardiovascular health
  • Libido and sexual performance
  • Deep REM sleep
  • Softer, more hydrated skin

DHEA reduces:

  • Abdominal Fat
  • Risk of Cancer
  • Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
  • Fatigue
  • Depression
  • Poor quality sleep
  • Joint pain
  • Muscle soreness

It is not possible to eat any particular foods to increase DHEA. DHEA supplementation is generally recommended people 35 and up to maintain health.

Available without a prescription, DHEA is safe; and not addictive or habit forming. DHEA is available in the U.S.A. without a prescription.

It is very important to use DHEA properly to get the many benefits DHEA can provide. DHEA should be used as a properly made skin cream, rather than being taken as a pill. When taken orally as a pill, most DHEA is eliminated by the liver before it can have any beneficial effects.

Don’t waste your time and money taking DHEA pills, or cheap ineffective imitations. Twist 25 DHEA cream is a pharmaceutical grade bioidentical DHEA cream. Twist 25 DHEA cream is the best quality DHEA supplement available.

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!

Fountain of Youth - A Surprising Source



Written by Erin Chamerlik, Nutrition Educator, MS, MT(ASCP)

There are two substances that fall into the category of Fountain of Youth. They are Vitamin D and bioidentical DHEA.

Both of these substances are made from cholesterol. Cholesterol is life giving and not the villain it has been made out to be. We now know that dietary cholesterol and high levels of cholesterol in the blood are not the cause of heart disease. Dr. Sandro has a great article on this topic.

If you are searching for the Fountain of Youth, continue reading to learn more about Vitamin D and DHEA, which both come from the surprising source, cholesterol.



Vitamin D

Adequate levels of Vitamin D are important for bone strength, improved mood, physical performance, healthy immune function and even reduced rates of certain cancers.

A deficiency of Vitamin D3 can result in obesity, diabetes, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune disease and diseases of aging including arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease and hypertension.

Vitamin D is a steroid hormone made from cholesterol. When our skin is exposed to sunlight, cholesterol can be converted into Vitamin D3. Daily sunlight exposure is the best way to get Vitamin D3, but most people are not outside for 20 minutes every day with their skin exposed.

Food sources of Vitamin D include egg yolk, fatty fish and beef liver. It is very difficult to obtain adequate Vitamin D3 from food sources alone.

Vitamin D3 Supplementation is recommended. Usually 2,000 IU to 5,000 IU daily. It is best to also supplement with Vitamin K2 to prevent calcification of the arteries.

Test - Once a year have a Vitamin D blood test and aim to be in the range of 50 - 80 ng/mL. The blood test you need is called 25(OH)D. An at-home test kit is available here.

 

DHEA

DHEA stands for Dehydroepiandrosterone – the medical world is rife with acronyms, now we know why! DHEA is a precursor hormone also synthesized from cholesterol, secreted by the adrenal glands and metabolized in the gonads and skin.

When DHEA levels are low, the body will not have adequate hormone production. This imbalance can leave one feeling flabby, fatigued and stressed and susceptible to many diseases of aging.



Quick Facts about DHEA

  • DHEA is the most abundant hormone precursor in the body.
  • In men and women alike, DHEA peaks by age 25 then drops each year after at a rate of about 2% each year.
  • The aging process is tied to a decrease in hormones like DHEA and growth hormone, and is tied to an increase in cortisol (the stress hormone).
  • DHEA has a multitude of benefits backed by scientific studies.
  • When DHEA is applied to the skin it is about 90% more active than when we take it as a pill. DHEA metabolism occurs in the skin naturally.
  • DHEA is converted to other hormones like estrogen, testosterone and about 50 other hormones.
  • DHEA is not addictive or habit forming, and is available over the counter without a prescription.
  • DHEA has no dangerous side effects.

DHEA is a Building Block for hormones, sebum, collagen, cartilage and more.



Benefits of DHEA

  • Reduces risks of cancer
  • Supports cardiovascular health
  • Helps improve deep REM sleep
  • Critical for lean muscle development
  • Reduces both visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat
  • Supports strong bones
  • Supports formation of cartilage and collagen
  • Allows softer skin and fades age spots
  • Reduces risks of UV and chemical carcinogens
  • Supports immune system
  • Reduces effects of menopause and andropause
  • Helps reduce risks of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
  • Improvements in mood, libido, skin health and bone strength. Less anxiety and depression.
  • Improves energy, focus and sense of well being
  • DHEA counterbalances the damaging effects of chronically elevated cortisol so it is often called the anti-stress hormone

    Anti-aging Plan

    The best anti-aging plan is a comprehensive approach.

    How to slow the aging process:
  • Eat a nutrient-dense diet, centered on unprocessed, whole foods with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits.
  • Hydrate properly. Drink filtered water; about half your body weight in ounces of water (for example, a person weighing 150 pounds needs approximately 75 ounces of water per day).
  • Exercise daily.
  • Get 8 hours of sleep per night.
  • Maintain healthy hormones. Twist 25 DHEA cream daily is a good start. Have your hormone levels tested.
  • Supplement wisely, including Vitamin D3, Omega-3 fish oil, magnesium and Vitamin K2.
  • Reduce and manage stress. 


“Of all the bioidentical hormones I have used in my practice, the one that gives the biggest bang for the buck is DHEA. It is inexpensive [available without a prescription] and has proven to be an effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions. If I only had one adrenal hormone to use, it would be DHEA.” Dr. David Brownstein, MD

Summer Fun in the Sun

Feel the heat? ..but not got the beat in your feet to get outside and dance?  Summer is supposed to be the time when we go to the beach, get outdoors, have some fun in the sun! ...but, if you're lacking vitality, focus and energy - not good. So do something about it. 

Most people after age 35, and especially past age 45, notice they start to “feel blah”, lack energy,  or have trouble finding the zest for life they once had. Getting out in the sun and having fun with family and friends is important for many reasons:
1-exercise is keeps us slimmer and happier and healthier
2-interaction with others is key.
3-It also allows us to produce Vitamin D3 when skin is exposed to sunshine. 

So to look and feel best, we really should get outside and play.

DHEA is a naturally occurring pro hormone that is a base building block for hormones. DHEA is also a base for sebum (or skin oil), and DHEA has been found to reduce risks of chemical and UV carcinogens for skin cells. Plus, DHEA helps fade “age spots” and keratoses and is made with coconut oil which is good for your health and your skin too.


So rub on some Twist 25 DHEA cream and get out there in the sunshine and feel alive again.  This is a skin cream that’s not just great for your skin in several different ways, it also lets you regain that vitality and zest for life you had in your twenties. DHEA is great for your health and great for your skin too.

So kick the blahs…regain the pep in your step. Have soft well hydrated skin. Enjoy the summer sunshine! Use Twist 25 cream. Make your own hormones naturally.

Feeling and Looking Younger with DHEA — The Right Way

One of the favorite benefits of Twist 25 DHEA cream is its ability to fight aging in lots of different ways. The most common effects aging people complain about is a lower energy level, diminished memory, less drive, less muscle tone, more belly fat and thin, papery skin — all are things that a quality bioidentical DHEA cream can help fight off. Through powerful support of cognitive function, energy, cardiovascular function, immune response, strong bones and joints, DHEA can help you fight the most dreaded symptoms of aging.

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 produced by the body levels out between the ages of about 20 to 25. After age 25, DHEA levels decrease by about 2 percent each year, meaning that by the time we hit age 50, our bodies are only making about half as much DHEA as they did in our 20s. By age 35 most people are already making 20% less than when we were in our prime. Because of this decline and the many beneficial things DHEA does in the body, rubbing in a little bit of bioidentical DHEA cream morning and evening each day helps maintain the bodies’ availability of DHEA, and this helps support the many functions DHEA has to help us feel younger and look younger every day.

It is very important to be sure you’re using a high quality DHEA supplement, though. When you shop for DHEA supplements, it’s easy to want to buy the cheaper option, but that would be a bad choice. Many cheap DHEA supplements aren’t the quality, effective DHEA cream you’ll need to successfully fight many signs of aging. Look for a DHEA supplement that is made with pharmaceutical-grade bioidentical DHEA. Twist 25 DHEA cream has been research tested and perfected for more than 20 years. Twist 25 DHEA cream is made with other beneficial ingredients: coconut oil, citric acid, Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q-10 to be both safe and effective. Twist 25 DHEA cream has been perfected over many years by a Board Certified medical doctor working with very specialized cream chemists. Twist 25 cream is available without a prescription; and physicians and pharmacists recommend Twist 25 DHEA cream, so you can be sure that Twist 25 DHEA cream is the safest, most effective product of its kind.

That’s why so many people all over the United States love Twist 25 and won’t waste their time or money buying cheap imitations that don’t work. With Twist 25 DHEA cream, you know you’re buying the very best DHEA supplement cream, applied on the skin in the dermis where most DHEA is processed by the body anyway. You can feel the benefits.

Another wonderful thing about DHEA is that it is a base for sebum or skin oil. As a result people notice they get softer, more hydrated skin. DHEA also helps to fade keratoses, or age spots, and protects cells from both UV and chemical carcinogens. So, people soon notice their skin looks younger and smoother from using Twist 25 cream, plus all the ways it makes them feel better day to day. When you sleep well at night and awaken refreshed, your energy level and mood make you more productive, you feel fit and trim, and you just look better. It all goes together. You feel and look younger using Twist 25 DHEA cream from age 35 and up.

Have you already been using Twist 25 DHEA cream? How long? How do you feel these days? Had friends tell you “What do you do, you look ten years younger than when I saw you last”? Please share your experiences in the comments section here. We would love to hear from you!
