What Makes Twist 25 the Best DHEA Cream?


Aging often brings a loss of vitality, mental sharpness, and drive. After about age 35, men and women alike begin to slow down as hormone production decreases. Most people start to experience the declines in hormones in a variety of common physical changes. They toss and turn at night and don’t sleep well, they lack energy and focus during the day, and start to gain weight around the midsection more and more easily. Most people try to stay active and exercise as they start to notice these subtle changes happening to delay some of time's effects. Exercise is important, but it can still be frustrating when your body just doesn't function the way it used to anymore. 

Along with staying active, eating right, and staying well hydrated, supplementation of a naturally occurring pro- hormone called DHEA, can also help you maintain a healthy, youthful state. One of the best ways to maintain your body's own DHEA is with Twist 25 DHEA cream.

The adrenal glands, gonads and dermis normally produce DHEA, but the levels peak in our mid-twenties and then gradually decline over time at a rate of about 2% per year. That means that by age 35 most people are 20% below the levels they were making at age 25 when they were at their best or “in the prime of life,” and by age 50 they are only making half as much as when they were at their healthiest. Certain plants, including soy and yams, produce a chemical compound similar to DHEA, but the body cannot convert the plant chemicals into usable DHEA. So eating soy beans or yams does not help increase hormone levels as many have tried and discovered for themselves. But a properly made bioidentical DHEA can now be bought and used daily as a skin cream called Twist 25 DHEA. "Bioidentical" means that it is identical to what is naturally produced by the human body. Only bioidentical hormones that are exactly the same as the naturally occurring human hormone molecule should be used as a supplement.

Feel younger with Twist 25 DHEA cream!
A DHEA supplement taken in pill form must go through the liver before reaching the rest of your system. As the liver processes it, in what is called the “first pass effect of the liver” most of the effective DHEA is destroyed. What does increase in the bloodstream from taking oral DHEA supplements is DHEA-S (DHEA sulfate), a much less effective sulfate form of DHEA. 

Twist 25 DHEA cream is made with a special formulation of bioidentical DHEA that is easily absorbed in the skin where it occurs naturally anyway. Since DHEA is made and processed in the skin anyway, Twist 25 cream is what the body uses naturally provided where the body uses naturally the skin — the dermis — the largest organ of the human body.

Twist 25 DHEA cream has been formulated, tested and perfected for more than twenty years to yield the highest quality safe effective bioidentical DHEA cream made. Twist 25 DHEA cream help people 35 and up enjoy deeper, more restful sleep; better mental focus and concentration, more "get up and go," more drive, and an improved sense of well-being. It also helps people lose weight, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Studies show that DHEA can help support the immune system as well as bone strength; fight depression; improve postmenopausal symptoms like hot flashes; and allows for soft, healthy, more hydrated skin.

What makes Twist 25 DHEA cream better than other DHEA creams? Twist 25 contains more bioidentical DHEA than other creams, gels or foams.  Each full pump press contains 25 mg bioidentical DHEA. Twist 25 DHEA cream is also made to retain it effectiveness for more than 18 months. People can actually feel the benefits from using the cream within just a few weeks. Health2Go makes Twist 25 DHEA cream only in the U.S.A. in a certified GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) compounding facility using only the highest-quality plant source ingredients. The cream is then laboratory tested for proper strength and mix to provide you with the best DHEA cream possible. 

Twist 25 contains no dangerous or harmful ingredients. Twist 25 cream contains no soy (that some people are allergic to), no lecithin, no cyclodextrin and no parabens. Twist 25 cream does not contain any petroleum by-products. Twist 25 cream contains 50 mg/ml pharmaceutical-grade bioidentical DHEA (a 5% DHEA cream) in a specially developed cream base made with coconut oil, Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10. A third-party independent laboratory tests every batch of cream to ensure proper mix and strength, which most over-the-counter supplement products do not do.  The high quality ingredients and laboratory testing for proper mix and strength make Twist 25 DHEA cream the DHEA most recommended by physicians and pharmacists, and other health professionals.

Wish you felt like you were 25 again? Use Twist 25 DHEA cream. Make your own hormones. Apply 1-2 pump presses each morning and evening to feel younger and have more energy, and provide the many health and beauty benefits DHEA provides.

Using DHEA To Sleep Better

Couple in restful sleep
Does it ever feel like you just can't get enough sleep? You wake up feeling worn out even after getting a full eight hours? Well chances are there are hormones you produce that have declined, and may be causing you to not get the restful, rejuvenating sleep you need. More than half the population over age 35 reports they get poor quality sleep and not enough sleep. As troubling as that may sound, there is now an easy way to do something about it. By applying a bioidentical skin cream daily that contains bioidentical DHEA, you can maintain your body's ability to produce hormones and sleep soundly at night.

What is DHEA?

DHEA is short for dehydroepiandrosterone, a naturally occurring pro-hormone made and processed in the adrenal glands, gonads and dermis. It is a base building block or precursor for more than 50 hormones. Hormones perform a wide variety of chemical messenger functions in the body and have many beneficial biologic functions. DHEA has been shown to by clinical research to allow deeper REM sleep.* REM sleep is the deep, restful sleep in which we dream and recharge the brain.
Until about age twenty-five, people make enough of their own DHEA. In youth, sleep is deep and restful because the body is able to produce plenty of the hormones needed to make that happen. But after age 25 or so, our bodies begin producing less and less DHEA. So by age 35, men and women alike produce about 20 percent less DHEA than they did when they were at their best or in the prime of life at age 20-25. By the age of 50, people make only about half the DHEA they did at age 25. As DHEA declines, many processes begin to not function as well. Some of the first signs of hormonal decline are: lack of energy during the day and poor quality sleep at night.


Studies Show DHEA Improves Sleep

Millions of people every day wake up after 8 hours of sleep still feeling tired. This begins to happen more and more as people get older because they are not getting enough REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. REM sleep occurs at various intervals during the night. REM sleep is one of five stages of sleep. It is the deepest stage of sleep when we dream. People typically spend more than two hours per night in REM sleep dreaming. According to a medical research study published by Dr. E. Friess, et al, “DHEA administration induced a significant increase in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.” * So if people can maintain higher DHEA levels, they can get more REM sleep. As a result, people with higher DHEA levels are more likely to wake up feeling rested, rejuvenated and ready to hit the day with energy.
DHEA must be used properly as a bioidentical DHEA cream applied on the skin rather than as an oral supplement because as a properly made cream DHEA can be absorbed and processed in the skin where it occurs naturally anyway. Unfortunately when it is taken orally as a pill, the liver destroys most DHEA before it can do any good. Twist 25 DHEA cream provides bioidentical DHEA on the dermis where it is used to produce the hormones. DHEA has been shown to allow better sleep at night. Decreasing quality of sleep in mid life is very common and expectable given declining DHEA levels that occur. That’s why many middle-age people often sleep, but don't feel rested even after 8 hours of sleep. Twist 25 DHEA cream makes sense.
As an added bonus, DHEA cream is made with coconut oil vitamin E and coenzyme Q-10 all ingredients that are good for you, as well. Twist 25 cream is also great for the skin. Try Twist 25 DHEA cream today. Apply 1 or 2 pump presses each morning and evening and rub it in completely on thin, hairless skin to feel the Twist 25 difference. Sweet dreams!

Maintain Health: It’s All the Little Things That Make a Big Difference Over Time

Medical research studies continue to confirm that maintaining health is far better than fixing health problems once they occur. Antonia Novello, M.D., the former US Surgeon General, summed it up well, saying “It is easier to maintain good health than it is to recover it.”

Medical research clearly shows that sleeping well, eating well, regular daily exercise, drinking adequate clean water, getting exposure to sunlight each day and maintaining nutrients and hormone levels allows better health. Dr. Greg Nobel, a primary care physician at Health First Physicians in Colorado gives three tips to stay healthy: Sleep right, eat more produce and exercise for 30 minutes or more 3-5 times per week.

Maintaining health is much better than waiting for a health problem to occur and trying to treat it.

Recurring behaviors or actions we do each day are what keep us healthy and happy over the long haul. These daily behaviors yield not only our health, but also allow us to better enjoy the pleasures of life as they happen. We do good things when we feel good because we are healthy.

Good health and happiness builds upon itself in a cycle of repeated daily habits we develop over time.

For most people, a decline in hormone levels begins to occur between the ages of 30-40. Hormones are the chemical messengers communicating to all the tissues in your body.

When we, as humans, are in our reproductive “prime” between the ages of 18 to 25, we enjoy optimal hormone levels. In our 20’s, people are typically “at their best” or “in the prime of life.” These are the years when men and women feel great, have lots of energy, easily maintain weight, desire and enjoy sex, sleep great at night and have a sharp clear mind to handle stress or frustrations with ease.

Unfortunately, after about age 25, the most abundant base pro-hormone in the body, DHEA, starts to decline at a rate of about 2% per year. This leads to a gradual decline in about 50 other smaller, more specific carbon chain hormones that the body makes with DHEA, like testosterone and estrogen. Unfortunately, as hormone levels decline in the body, hormone receptors on the surface of cells decline too, so it is not simply a matter of replenishing hormones once the decline has occurred. The hormone receptors on the cell walls that allow hormones to do what they do cannot easily be restored if hormones drop too low for too long.

The gradual decline of hormones begins to be felt noticeably in various ways after about age 35. Some of the most common things people notice is that they cannot sleep well anymore — they toss and turn at night and just don’t sleep soundly like they used to. They begin to have less energy and drive during the day, less focus, less sense of well-being. By age 50, males and females alike produce only half the hormones they did at age 25. Since hormones drive how we feel and function, the results are important in many ways.

As mentioned above, long term medical research clearly shows that deep sleep, regular daily exercise, and a good diet are crucial determinants of long-term health, happiness and well- being, but maintaining healthy levels of essential nutrients and hormone levels is likewise important  to maintain good health.

Dr. John Woodward, Board certified OB-Gyn and bioidentical hormone replacement specialist, says “Keeping things at their best over the course of our lives keeps us healthy. Maintain good quality health habits each day: Eat right – give your body the nutrients it needs, exercise, water, sleep and bioidentical hormones. If people 35 and up apply a bioidentical DHEA skin cream each day, the body can make hormones it needs to function well to maintain health.“

Maintaining DHEA levels helps people to get deeper REM sleep at night. If people sleep well at night they awaken refreshed, rested and ready to go. If you start the day well rested, you have more energy, are in a better mood, and are thereby more focused and productive at work. With more energy and focus, people are more apt to exercise. When people exercise and are more active, they feel good, maintain muscle tone and lose weight. After a productive day and exercise, they sleep better at night.

The cycle repeats itself. Good deep sleep allows more energy, better mood. Exercise and productivity make you feel happier. You thereby eat less and exercise more so you lose unwanted weight. The repeated daily cycle is very powerful over time. Living a healthy lifestyle each day yields incredible benefits over time, and if hormone levels are maintained, combined with complete nutrition and hydration, the results are amazing – you feel better and look better. Keeping the body healthy averts falling into a downward health spiral that can result in greater risks of weight gain, insomnia, depression, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer and more.

It is all the little things we do each day that make a huge difference in our health and appearance over time. If you are 35 or older, one of the best daily health tips is to use Twist 25 DHEA cream every morning and evening to allow your body to maintain youthful hormone levels; and as a result sleep well, wake up refreshed and energized and happy to be alive. Get lots of things done during the day with energy and a smile, exercise, get some sunshine (for vitamin D-3), eat healthy foods and drink good, clean water every day. Over time, all these healthy little things will allow you to maintain your best health and happiness.

Feeling Right again with DHEA

To maintain optimal health and well-being, humans need adequate levels of dehydroepiandrosterone, known as DHEA. DHEA is the most abundant naturally occurring pro-hormone in the human body. DHEA levels gradually increase from birth to about age 25, when we are in our “reproductive prime” as humans. But after age 25, DHEA levels begin to decrease by about 2% per year. As an important prohormone, or building block for hormones, DHEA plays a crucial role in many body functions. Therefore, as levels of DHEA decline people notice they have trouble sleeping, lack energy or focus during the day, gain weight more easily, lose muscle tone, sharpness of mind and muscle tone. Low levels of DHEA are associated with “diseases of aging” such as greater risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, depression and insomnia to name but a few.
Cortisol Increases while DHEA Decreases as We Get Older
Cortisol is known as the stress hormone. Cortisol is released in response to stressful situations. It is the “fight or flight” hormone released to protect the body with an inflammatory response. The problem with this inflammatory response, is that over time too much cortisol has many detrimental effects on the body. As mentioned above, we gradually make less and less DHEA after age 25. One the otherhand, we gradually make more and more cortisol as we get older. Humans are at their healthiest, feel best and are at lowest risk of disease – cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression and cancer, when the DHEA to cortisol is at a ratio of 10:1.
Everything from driving in rush-hour traffic to dealing with an upset friend or co-worker, can cause stress in our lives, and production of more cortisol. Elevated cortisol levels over time can lead to impaired immune response, feeling bloated, lacking energy, weight gain and feeling washed out. Cortisol can also adversely affect cardiovascular health, blood glucose levels, and bone strength. High cortisol levels can lead to the development of Metabolic Syndrome, which has been shown to lead to obesity, high blood pressure, and increases in cholesterol and triglyceride levels. DHEA counterbalances the negative effects of cortisol.
DHEA and Cortisol
DHEA is the only thing in the body that counterbalances the negative effects of cortisol. There is a great article about “Adrenal Exhaustion” written by Dr. Christiane Northrup, MD. The article describes the common high cortisol with low DHEA life scenario so common in the U.S.A. Given the gradual declines in DHEA and the gradual increases in cortisol that occur as we get older and cope with more and more stress, using Twist 25 DHEA cream daily make sense.
You, Cortisol and DHEA Cream
Do you wake up feeling groggy and have difficulty getting going? Do you crave sweet snacks in the middle of the afternoon? Is your thinking foggy? Are you forgetful? Do you get recurrent colds, headaches and feel depressed? At night, though you’re tired, do you have trouble falling asleep? You wonder what happened to your interest in sex? If this description fits you, you probably have a high cortisol level and a low DHEA level. What Dr. Northrup describes in her work as “adrenal exhaustion” So you should try using a pharmaceutical grade bioidentical DHEA cream called Twist 25 every morning and evening for at least a few weeks. It is available without a prescription; and can do great good safely. You feel the benefits.
Visit your doctor and have your cortisol, DHEA and thyroid levels checked. You can test your DHEA levels from home using a home DHEA test. Twist 25 DHEA cream is safe, and has no dangerous side effects. If you’re 35 or up, increasing DHEA is good for health, happiness and looking and feeling your best. So get some Twist 25 DHEA cream today and notice the difference! Make your own hormones.

Use DHEA to Build Lean Muscle & Reduce Belly Fat

Low levels of the naturally occurring pro-hormone DHEA are associated with many age related conditions. Maintaining youthful levels of DHEA with a supplement cream called Twist 25 can have many beneficial health effects over time. The cream is applied daily on thin hairless skin,  where the body makes and processes DHEA.  Benefits most reported by men using Twist 25 DHEA cream is that they feel leaner and fitter; they notice a reduction in abdominal fat, leaner more shapely muscle tone, and faster recovery after workouts. This is driven by improved hormones.

Male Hormones
After age 35, many men begin to lose that muscular physique they had in their 20s. It gets easier and easier to gain abdominal fat, and harder and harder to stay strong lean and fit. Many guys realize their interest in sex has diminished, and they don’t sleep deeply at nigh anymore. They toss and turn and get intermittent sleep, instead of deep REM sleep. Why? This happens because hormones gradually decline as we get older.

Hormones drive energy, mood, mental sharpness, muscle tone, fat, sex drive and more. In women, this gradual decline in hormones is called “menopause”. The same gradual hormone decline occurs in men; and has come to be called “andropause”.

Since DHEA is the body’s most abundant base building block for some 50 smaller more specific hormones like testosterone, estrogen, estrone, estradiol and others, the reduced levels of DHEA after age 25 gradually leads to many unpleasant declines in hormones like testosterone and estrogen. Some folks just accept it as a normal part of aging. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can maintain youthful vigor and and vitality and thereby remain healthier and happier as we get older.

Supplementing DHEA the right way, as a bioidentical cream that is absorbed and processed in the skin allows the body to make it’s own hormones from it. This is where much DHEA metabolism  occurs naturally anyway, in the skin, the dermis, the largest organ of the body. DHEA is the most abundant naturally occurring pro-hormone in the body.  DHEA helps men maintain youthful vitality, muscle tone and health. Twist 25 DHEA cream is also very safe; and reduces risks of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Results from Exercise - Shapely Muscle Tone
One of the most common things we hear from Twist 25 DHEA cream users is that they feel more alive and have more energy so they start exercising more often or make time to go to the the gym to work out more. They start to notice that they are not as sore the next day; and they start seeing results from their workout efforts – they feel leaner and fitter, and notice they are getting in nice shape and gaining muscle tone from their efforts.

So, because men like it when something yields results, and they are not feeling muscle soreness from the workout they did the day before, they start exercising or going to the gym more regularly. As a result, they start to sleep more soundly at night because they have had an active productive day.
Thus, they have more energy the next day – awakening refreshed and feeling vibrant. So, since they feel good, they go to exercise again. This cycle feeds on itself, and over time yields great results. Do remember to apply the Twist 25 DHEA cream after your shower. Apply it morning and evening each day. Many find it convenient to put right beside their toothbrush and toothpaste so when they brush their teeth they also apply their Twist 25 cream every morning and every evening.

When men see and feel results from exercise, they tend to exercise more. Obviously, we all know the many great effects that exercise can have to improve and maintain better health and looks. It really makes sense.

Abdominal Body Fat
After age 35, most men (and women too) find it easier and easier to gain weight, especially belly fat; and find it harder and harder to lose it. Well, exciting medical research done by a team of physicians in the Department of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine shows that DHEA can significantly reduce abdominal fat. It is thought that this reduced abdominal fat occurs because DHEA helps people to have better insulin sensitivity, thereby reducing the risks of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, while allowing energy in the bloodstream to be burned by the body rather than stored away as fat.

So, men – wise up. Get fit. Maintain your physique; build toned shapely muscle when you exercise, lose belly fat, and regain sex drive with Twist 25 DHEA cream.
Look your best Feel your best with Twist 25.

Get Deeper Sleep and Feel More Rested with DHEA

Have you been feeling tired lately? Not getting enough sleep? Is it hard to get out of bed in the morning, or perhaps you just run out of energy after lunch or by mid-afternoon, and feel yourself nodding off. If so, you’re not alone.
For many people after age 30, getting good deep sleep can get harder and harder. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that “more than one-quarter of the U.S. population reports not getting enough sleep, while nearly 10% experience chronic insomnia,” and insufficient sleep is increasingly being shown to contribute to poor health and greater risk of disease. For many people, this can be averted by maintaining healthy DHEA levels.

DHEA Production
DHEA, short for dehydroepiandrosterone is the most abundant pro-hormone in the body. Humans produce more and more DHEA from birth into adulthood, but levels peak by about age 25. Then DHEA levels decline at a rate of about 2% per year. So, by age 35 people are making about 20% less than they did when they were “in their prime” or at their best. By age 50, men and women alike are only producing half as much of this crucial pro-hormone. DHEA is a carbon chain molecule, not something that can be eaten in foods. In fact, oral DHEA supplements that have been available for many years are eliminated by the liver, so it is best for people to use DHEA as a bioidentical DHEA skin cream that is absorbed and processed in the skin if they wish to benefit from this crucial prohormone.

DHEA and Poor Sleep
Researchers have studied the effects of DHEA on sleep, and the researchers found that people with higher levels of DHEA had deeper REM sleep, while people with lower DHEA levels had less REM sleep. REM sleep is the deep sleep during which we dream, and “recharge the batteries.” The medical research studies demonstrated that DHEA can help people get deeper REM sleep, and thereby feel more rested and energized during the day.
While it’s easy to find inexpensive oral DHEA supplements, they are minimally effective. It is crucial that DHEA be used correctly as a properly made bioidentical DHEA cream that is applied on the skin.
Get the best DHEA supplement made. Twist 25 DHEA cream is bioidentical DHEA cream that is made with coconut oil, Vitamin E and Co-enzyme Q-10. For best results, the cream is rubbed in twice daily onto thin, hairless skin. Twist 25 DHEA cream is tested to be safe and effective.
Try adding a pump or two of Twist 25 cream to your routine every day, and notice the difference: deeper sleep, more energy. Feel refreshed and sharper of mind with Twist 25. Sweet dreams!

DHEA Information: Separating Fact from Fiction

DHEA is a prohormone that is produced by the adrenal glands, ovaries or testes, and the skin. As the most abundant prohormone in the human body, DHEA helps support many body functions. Humans make more and more DHEA from birth through age 25, then levels decrease every year by about 2% per year.  Cortisol levels increase every year as we get older. 

In the presense of DHEA cells tend to replicate well and thrive. In the absence of DHEA, cells die.
DHEA helps the body to build lean shapely muscle, improves REM sleep at night and cognitive function during the day. DHEA improves energy sometimes described as “sense of well-being” or "focus", improves memory, cardiovascular health, and reduces risks of cancer by boosting the immune system.
Perhaps most importantly, DHEA counterbalances the negative inflammatory effects of cortisol. Dehydroepiandrosterone is a prohormone, and as a result, it is a base precursor to testosterone, estrogen, estradiol, and 50 other androgenic and estrogenic hormones, all smaller carbon chain molecules depending upon which carbon chain sequence the body removes.
Unfortunately, there is some misinformation about DHEA that should be cleared up.
Relation To Aging
DHEA is not the “Fountain of Youth:” DHEA will not make you younger.
What science shows us through medical studies is that DHEA has many beneficial functions in the body. We are healthiest and happiest when DHEA levels are at their highest during our "prime" of life (age 20-25), and ever worse as levels decline. Risks of cardiovascular disease, dementia, cancer and diabetes are highest when DHEA levels are low. Conversely, cardiovascular health, mental sharpness, strong immune response, bone strength, deep sleep, sex and mood are all better when DHEA levels are higher.

Can supplementing DHEA levels make us younger? No. But can it reduce the negative effects of time on the body and reduce our risks of illness, many diseaes, and keep us at our best? Yes.
As mentioned above, people make more and more DHEA from birth through puberty into adulthood. Production of DHEA peaks at about age 25, when we are in our reproductive prime as humans. Then after age 25 levels decrease at a rate of about 2% per year thereafter. So by age 35, people are making about 20% less than they did at age 25; and by age 50 people are making only about half as much as when they were feeling and looking their best. 

Is DHEA safe? DHEA has no dangerous side effects. DHEA does not increase risks of cancer. Infact, DHEA reduces risks of cancer of all types and strengthens the immune system. DHEA is the most abundant naturally occurring prohome in the human body.
Losing Weight
Medical research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) shows that “DHEA induced significant decreases in both visceral fat (that’s the kind within the abdomen) and subcutaneous fat (that’s the pad just beneath the skin) in men and women.”*
This is due in part doctors believe because DHEA helps improve insulin sensitivity, so the body functions more efficiently, burning glucose in the bloodstream rather than storing it away as fat. Furthermore,when DHEA levels are right people have more energy and sense of well-being: so they tend to be more active. They get more exercise because they are more active. Energy level and sense of well-being combined with a positive productive mindset allow a more active lifestyle. Also, muscle recovery after workouts is quicker. Lean shapely muscle and soft skin are visible signs of a healthier lifestyle. People like to see results. Quick nice visible results make users more apt to exercise and be active; people with an active lifestyle lose fat and stay healthier noticing the benefits of DHEA more.
Counterbalance the Negative Effects of the Stress Hormone: Cortisol
Cortisol is often called “the stress hormone”. Cortisol is released in the body as a protective inflamatory response. But chronically elevated levels of cortisol driven by chronic stress begin to have negative effects on our health and appearance as we get older. Cortisol produces many negative effects, such as a reduction in energy, feeling tired and bloated, increased body fat and breakdown of muscle.
DHEA is the only thing in the body that counterbalances the adverse effects of cortisol. While DHEA levels gradually decrease as we get older, cortisol levels gradually increase as we get older. For optimum health it is recommended that DHEA to cortisol levels be maintained at a ratio of 10:1
How to use DHEA - Dosage
The skin, or dermis, is the largest organ of the human body; and is where much DHEA processing actually occurs naturally in the body in both men and women. In fact, medical research shows that for post menopausal women more than 80% of hormones are metabolised in the skin. Daily recommended doses of DHEA for people 35 and up range from 25 MG to 150 MG per day depending on age and sex. The older you get, the more you need. Males have higher DHEA levels than women.
DHEA supplements are nothing new; but to actually feel and notice the many potential benefits of DHEA, it must be used correctly. The key is to provide the body DHEA the right way – as a bioidentical cream, so DHEA can be absorbed and processed in the skin rather than the gut.
When DHEA is taken as a pill, most DHEA is destroyed by the liver; and only increases levels of DHEA sulfate (DHEA-S) not free DHEA. Free DHEA is what the body processes into the sex hormones. Twist 25 DHEA cream is a pharmaceutical grade bioidentical DHEA cream developed and tested to be safe, effective, and available over the counter, and it is absorbed and processed in the skin, not through the gut where the DHEA would be eliminated by the first pass effect of the liver.
When looking for DHEA cream, remember that all supplements are not created equal. Look for a pharmaceutical grade bio-identical DHEA cream that is tested to ensure safety, quality and strength. Additionally, be sure the DHEA supplement you use is a bio-identical DHEA cream, as this is exactly what your body makes and uses.
If you’re looking for the top quality DHEA cream, it is Twist 25  DHEA cream. Twist 25 has been thoroughly tested to ensure the best quality possible. Add a pump or two of Twist 25 to your routine each day and feel the benefits. You’ll feel the difference within a few weeks.
