ClearPatch Lotion: the Clear Advantage
Transdermal
application avoids first-pass liver metabolism, resulting
in greater amount of available hormone versus oral dose.
Transdermal doses are equivalent up to 10 times of oral ones and do not
overburden the liver unnecessarily.
Best
transdermal absorption - absorbs readily from skin surface.
100% of
the hormone is bioavailable.
Ease of
use: required dose is contained in a small amount of lotion, which can
be inconspicuously applied any time. Dose measurement is achieved
by counting drops.
Human-friendly ingredients.
Suggeted use:
Massage
to thin skin areas
once a day in the morning.
Men:
2 - 20 drops (1 - 10 mg) per day.
Women:
2 - 10 drops (1 - 5 mg) per day.
Consult a
physician before using DHEA if you
have any serious illness, use prescription medication or
have family history of prostate cancer,
prostate enlargement or heart disease.
Do not
exceed the
recommended daily dose without consulting a health care professional
because of
possibility of significant side effects, including acne,
aggressiveness,
irritability and rapid heartbeat. These
side effects are reversible with decreased dosage or discontinuation of
DHEA.

How and where to apply:
Invert bottle holding it vertically for proper drop delivery.
Gently massage to thin skin areas: palms, inner arms, chest, neck or
backside of the knees. It is best to alternate between
application sites. Apply to clean skin only. Do not apply
other lotions or creams to the area of ClearPatch application - they
can reduce absorption of DHEA
When to expect results?
DHEA is a hormone involved in countless biochemical reactions in the
body. Its effects are more diffuse than direct and more
cumulative than immediate. Therefore, you should not expect
immediate results of DHEA supplementation.
Contraindications:
DHEA is not recommended for individuals under the age of 40 without
physician’s supervision.
Women:
Do
not use DHEA if pregnant, planning to become pregnant or nursing.
If
overdosed, you may start seeing changes like acne or growth of facial
hair. These side effects are reversible
with decreased dosage or discontinuation of DHEA. It
is advisable to have DHEAS level checked before using this
product. Consider estrogen and testosterone testing when taking DHEA.
For external use only.
Avoid contact with eyes.
Keep out of reach of
children.
Store at room
temperature away from strong
sources of heat and light.
