7-KETO® DHEA, a safe and natural metabolite of DHEA, was the subject of research for over a decade at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. 7-Keto® exhibits a functional profile that is distinct from other forms of DHEA.
Researchers discovered that 7-Keto® supports various physiological processes without converting to testosterone or estrogen. This minimizes the potential for androgenic and estrogenic activity.1
Preclinical data suggest that 7-Keto® is several times more potent than DHEA in stimulating the thermogenic enzymes of the liver. This thermogenic effect may contribute to increased basal metabolism, supporting a healthy lean/adipose ratio. 7-Keto® supports healthy weight management* as part of a healthy lifestyle with a reduced calorie diet and regular exercise.2 In a double-blind study involving 30 overweight adults, 7-Keto® supported healthy body composition and BMI when combined with exercise.3*
7-KETO® DHEA is also known as DHEA-Acetate-7-one, 3-acetoxy-androst-5-ene-7, 17-dione, or 3-acetyl-7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone.
