What
Is 7 Keto DHEA?
7-Keto DHEA is a safer and more potent form of DHEA, the well-known "mother hormone", a substance known to ameliorate the effects of aging on many body functions. 7 Keto is NOT DHEA. It is a natural metabolite of DHEA meaning that our bodies eventually convert DHEA into 7 Keto DHEA in the skin and kidneys before going on to fortify us.
Summary of 7-Keto's actions and benefits:

Summary of 7-Keto's actions and benefits:
- Helpful in reducing body fat for safe weight loss
- Strengthens immune function
- Helps balance thyroid function
- Enhances the liver enzyme catalase
- Enhances IGF-1 (Growth Hormone) hormone production
- Improves cognitive function and enhances memory
- May be helpful in Alzheimer's disease
- Helpful for overcoming insulin resistance in type II diabetes
- Relieves depression
- Has anti-aging benefits
- Helps lower stress-induced high blood pressure and may be beneficial for other heart-related diseases.
- Increases muscle mass
- Eases inflammatory conditions like lupus and arthritis
- May help prevent HIV wasting
- May be advantageous in helping to fight Parkinson's disease
- Boosts energy and relieves fatigue
- Prevents skin from wrinkling
- Fights allergic reactions
- Helpful for Asthma
Perhaps
the most fundamental difference between DHEA and 7 Keto DHEA is that 7 Keto
DHEA is already converted DHEA, thus it will NOT dangerously spike estrogen and
testosterone as does old fashioned DHEA. In fact, studies have shown that
"Old Fashioned" DHEA can raise blood levels of testosterone by much
as 10 times above normal.
Since 7-Keto does not convert into testosterone or estrogens, it is a one-hundred percent safe alternative to its parent compound. (Elevated testosterone can put beards on women's faces or cultivate prostate cancer in men. Moreover, high levels of testosterone may convert into estrogen in men. Women taking regular DHEA should be especially aware of the possibility of clitoral enlargement, and voice lowering).
7 Keto is non-toxic. Liver and blood hormone levels have shown it to be "Completely innocuous," says Henry Lardy, Chairman Emeritus of the Enzyme Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "No-one has found any adverse side effects."
7 Keto DHEA has been proven to promote greater weight loss than DHEA. One clinical trial published in the Journal of Exercise Physiology Online looked at 30 obese people who took a placebo or 7-KETO, a commercial version of 7 Keto that's sold as a food supplement. Both groups took three one-hour sessions of aerobic and anaerobic exercise per week. At the end of the eight-week study, the 7-KETO group had lost 1.8 percent of body fat, compared to 0.57 percent among the placebo exercisers. Their overall weight loss was 2.88 kilos, about three times the loss among those who took the placebo.
There are signs that 7 Keto DHEA helps the body loose weight by mimicking thyroid hormones which cause the body to make more heat, thus burning more calories without really doing anything. Quite simply this means that by increasing thyroid enzymes it is a thermogenic.
7 Keto lends greater support to the immune system by increasing IL-2 production in human lymphocytes. IL-2 is the key cytokine regulator of T-helper cells which helps activate the immune system against invading pathogens.
7 Keto helps to reduce cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone associated with stress as well as chronic mood disorders and aging.
7-Keto DHEA is more potent than DHEA. Anyone suffering any serious disease or hormonal condition should only use DHEA under competent medical supervision. On the other hand, 7 Keto may be effective at doses as low as 5-10 mg/per day with 25-50 mgs per day being adequate for use in disease treatment under medical supervision.
