Information:
DHEA is the most abundant hormone
produced by the adrenal glands. For years, scientists considered
DHEA and DHEA-S to be relatively unimportant because they did not have a
specific function in the body. It is now known that DHEA is the
substance from which other important hormones such as estrogen,
progesterone, testosterone, and cortisone are made. For this
reason, it is often called the mother of all hormones. It has also
been discovered that cells contain specific DHEA receptors, indicating
that it has functions particular to it alone.
In the past decade, researchers studying the aging process have
discovered that blood levels of DHEA increase steadily until we are in
our 20's. Then they decline gradually until at age 60, DHEA levels
are only about two-thirds of their peak levels And if you live to
be 80, your body will probably have only 10-20% of the DHEA it had when
you were 20 years old. This can leave you vulnerable to breast,
prostate, and bladder cancer, cardiovascular disease, adult onset
diabetes, nerve degeneration, and other age-related conditions.
Another significant fact about DHEA is that DHEA levels reflect the
body's general health. If you compare the DHEA levels of two
individuals of the same age and sex, the healthy individual's DHEA level
will greatly exceed that of an unhealthy individual who suffers from one
or more health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity,
osteoporosis, arthritis, asthma, etc.
-
DHEA has been the subject of nearly 4,000 scientific articles.
Studies using DHEA have shown that DHEA:
-
improves immune function
-
prevents breast and skin cancer
-
reduces body weight
-
improves memory
-
increases longevity up to 50%
In addition, research shows that adequate levels of DHEA bring relief to
people with arthritis, lupus, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis,
inflammatory bowel disease, thyroid problems, herpes infections, stress,
depression, allergies, and hormone imbalances. It has been used
successfully for building lean muscle mass and has positive effects on
collagen and skin integrity. DHEA is also useful in treating
stress and depression.
DHEA Creme with Antioxidants 2 oz. (56.7gm) Cream
DHEA Creme with Antioxidants is a topical application combining the anti-aging properties of DHEA with antioxidants and bioflavonoids to protect against free radical damage and strengthen
tissues.
In addition to the anti-aging properties of DHEA, the
creme contains Vitamins C and E plus Grape Seed extract as antioxidants.
Grape Seed extract contains the bioflavonoid complex known as
procyanidolic oligomers. Several names are used to describe these
PCO bioflavonoids, including Pycnogenol, the trade name for PCO
extracted from Pine Bark. Bioflavonoids function as both
antioxidants and to strengthen and protect living tissue. It was,
recently discovered that PCO is 20 times better than Vitamin C and 50
times better than Vitamin E against free radicals. To combat free
radicals, the body produces enzymes that scavenge and neutralize them.
Antioxidants are nutrients that bolster the action of these enzymes.
Recent research has shown that antioxidants applied topically both
protect and correct the skin. Vitamins A and C work to correct
photoaging skin problems.
Aloe Vera is added to the Born again DHEA creme to enhance skin
penetration of the ingredients. Aloe is also recognized for its
healing properties.
This fragrance-free moisturizing crème contains 25 mg of DHEA
(dehydroepiandrosterone) in each half teaspoon. The antioxidants, Vitamins C & E plus the procyanidolic oligomers (PCO) in the Grape Seed Extract, protect the skin against photoaging caused by UV radiation, chemical pollution, and smoke. Vitamins A and C work to correct
aging skin problems. Aloe Vera Gel helps Born Again DHEA Crème absorb quickly into the skin leaving no greasy after feel.
When DHEA is taken orally in capsules or tablets, it passes through the
liver. This can place a potential stress on the liver. We
feel that the transdermal absorption of DHEA is a more cautious
approach.
Directions: Smooth 1/4 teaspoon into the skin twice daily to help control fine lines and wrinkles and to keep skin youthful. Do not use more than 1/4 teaspoon twice daily.
