7-KETO™DHEA
What Is 7-KETO™ DHEA?
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. Of over 150 DHEA
compounds tested, 7-KETO proved to be the most
promising form. Researchers discovered that 7-KETO
does not convert to testosterone or estrogen and supports
various physiological processes.
7-KETO DHEA is also
known as DHEA-Acetate-7-one or 3-acetoxy-androst-5-
ene-7,17-dione.
Uses For 7-KETO™ DHEA
Metabolic Support And Weight Management: 7-KETO is
several times more potent than DHEA in stimulating the
thermogenic enzymes of the liver, promotes basal
metabolism, and helps to increase the lean/adipose ratio.
These actions safely support a leaner BMI (Body
Mass Index) and healthy weight control. In a double-blind
study involving 30 overweight adults, 7-KETO supported
healthy body composition and BMI when combined
with exercise.*
Other Patented Applications of 7-KETO™ DHEA:
Research on the role of
7-KETO in immune, cognitive and other areas of support
similar to DHEA has proven promising but is preliminary.*
The Source of 7-KETO™ DHEA?
7-KETO is made from pharmaceutical grade DHEA.
DHEA is produced when diosgenin is extracted from wild
yam and modified in a laboratory process to achieve the
final structure. Hypo-allergenic plant fiber is derived from
pine cellulose.
Recommendations
Pure Encapsulations recommends 25-200 mg per day, in
divided doses, with meals. For weight loss support, 100
mg twice daily is recommended.
Potential Side Effects Or Precautions for Using
7-KETO™ DHEA
Not to be taken by pregnant or lactating women. Vivid
dreams have been reported if taken too close to bedtime.
Individuals with breast, prostate, or other hormonally linked
cancers (or a family history of these conditions) should
avoid this product as 7-KETO has not been studied in these
contexts.
Potential Drug Interactions of 7-KETO™ DHEA
7-KETO has been shown to promote healthy platelet
function. As a result, it may be contraindicated for
individuals using Coumadin due to a potential synergistic
blood-thinning effect.
