7-keto DHEA
Information about 7-keto DHEA
7-keto DHEA (a.k.a.
7-Oxo-Dehydroepiandrosterone, or 7-Oxo-DHEA) is a metabolite of DHEA, a steroid* hormone produced by the adrenal glands.
First introduced to the public in 1998, 7-keto DHEA remains a popular
dietary supplement for those who wish to receive some of the benefits of DHEA
without DHEA’s hormonal implications. Although its exact role in the body is not
fully understood, 7-keto DHEA is reputed to have such benefits as increased
thermogenic activity, and enhanced memory and immunity.
*”Steroid” in this sense either means made from cholesterol or structurally
similar to cholesterol. As natural hormones already present in and manufactured
by the body, neither 7-keto nor DHEA should be confused with the ‘steroids’
that have been the center of controversy in many professional sports. Those
‘steroids’ are entirely artificial hormones with significant toxicity and safety
issues that do not apply to 7-keto or DHEA.
Health Benefits of 7-keto DHEA
Although its exact role in the body is not fully
understood, 7-keto DHEA is believed to increase thermogenic activity,
enhance memory and possibly improve immunity.
The vast majority of people who use 7-keto DHEA,
however, do so to support their weight loss program. 7-keto DHEA is not a
stimulant or a hormone itself but, like some stimulants and hormones, is believed
to affect metabolism in such a way that maximizes the body’s response to diet and
exercise.
Consistent sales including many repeat orders and those from
long term users strongly suggest that 7-keto DHEA works very well for at
least some people in terms of helping them get lean and stay lean.
