What makes Twist 25 better than other DHEA products?
The cream is the secret! Medical research shows that most DHEA metabolism occurs in the skin.* Twist 25 is a bioidentical DHEA cream that is absorbed into the skin. “Bioidentical” means that the DHEA in Twist 25 is the same molecular structure as is produced in humans.
Why is DHEA cream better than a pill?
DHEA as a cream is far more effective than oral DHEA because most DHEA metabolism occurs in the skin. When taken as a pill, DHEA 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 sulfate). For more information about DHEA, please read some of the medical research by Dr. Fernand Labrie. Studies showed much more improvement in menopausal symptoms using DHEA cream rather than pills.
