7-Keto DHEA 25mg (150 Caps)

7-Keto™ DHEA (3-acetyl-7-oxo dehydroepiandrosterone or 7-oxo DHEA), commonly known as 7-Keto™, is a natural metabolite of DHEA that can safely stimulate immune function and reduce body fat. Unlike DHEA, 7-Keto™ is not converted into estrogen or progesterone.

Structurally, 7-Keto™ is almost identical to DHEA, from which it is derived through a natural enzymatic conversion process. Its levels appear to follow those of DHEA over time; blood concentrations are virtually halved by the age of 50. It can be assumed that the increase in fat mass and total body weight, as well as the weakening of immune function observed with advancing age, are linked to this decrease.
- 7-Keto™ is much more potent than DHEA. At equal doses, it is almost 2.5 times more potent than DHEA and has no side effects. 7-Keto™ may in fact be responsible for most of the beneficial effects attributed to DHEA. It is more effective at improving memory and inducing, enhancing, or modulating thermogenesis. It is also safer, making it an attractive alternative to DHEA, offering all the benefits and none of the drawbacks.
- Research on 7-Keto™ has been conducted for over ten years by Professor Henry A. Lardy and his team in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin. He has filed nine patents on the uses of 7-Keto™ to strengthen and modulate the immune system, contribute to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, and promote weight loss.
His work indicates in particular that:
- in elderly people, 100mg of 7-Keto™ twice a day improves immune function. Animal studies confirm that it significantly enhances the immune system's response capacity;
- 7-Keto™ acts on weight loss through thermogenesis. Dr. Lardy's research shows the ability of 7-Keto™ to stimulate the activity of three thermogenic enzymes that accelerate the oxidation of fatty acids in the liver. It increases their levels by 128% for acyl-CoA, 860% for malic enzyme, and 138% for glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
- 100 mg of 7-Keto™ twice a day, combined with exercise and a 1,800-calorie diet, resulted in weight loss (3 kg) and fat loss (1.3%) in 8 weeks. The activity of the thyroid hormone T3, a powerful metabolic stimulant, was significantly increased.
What doses?
- Studies on 7-Keto™ and weight loss have generally used doses of 100 mg twice a day.
- As part of an anti-aging program, 25 to 50 mg per day is sufficient for healthy individuals. Higher doses may be recommended for limited periods as part of a weight loss program combining physical activity and nutritional advice. 7-Keto™ should preferably be taken in the morning, with a second dose at lunchtime if necessary. Taken in the evening, it stimulates brain activity and may cause insomnia.
7-Keto™ DHEA does not accumulate in the body over time. However, despite its rapid elimination from the body, relatively high blood levels are quickly reached, allowing beneficial effects to be obtained relatively quickly.
Who is it for?
- Anyone taking DHEA can take 7-Keto™ DHEA if they are willing to pay a little more for an even more effective and safer supplement.
- In men who aromatize testosterone excessively, replacing DHEA with 7-Keto™ DHEA helps avoid an undesirable simultaneous increase in estradiol.
- Anyone who wants to control their weight effectively and over the long term.
- Those for whom DHEA is not successful or not successful enough should try it.
Toxicity
- 7-Keto™, which does not convert to estrogen or progesterone, is much safer than DHEA.
- Doses as high as 500 mg/kg have been administered to primates without any adverse side effects being observed. This is equivalent to doses far higher than those recommended for humans.
- A toxicity study in humans also showed that a daily dose of 200 mg of 7-Keto™ had no effect on blood and urine tests and was very well tolerated.

As part of an anti-aging program, 25 to 50 mg per day is sufficient for healthy individuals. Higher doses may be recommended for limited periods as part of a weight loss program combining physical activity and nutritional advice.
7-Keto should preferably be taken in the morning, with a second dose at lunchtime if necessary. Taken in the evening, it stimulates brain activity and may cause insomnia.
Each vegetable capsule contains 25 mg of 3-acetyl-7-OXO-DHEA (7-Keto DHEA).
