The most abundant hormone in the body that declines with age. People with high blood levels of DHEA, are less prone to to the diseases of aging. At 40 years of age both Men and Women have either undetectable or extremely low blood levels of DHEA. Highly recommended as a must by International Physicians. Benefits of youthful levels include:- enhanced immune resistance; facilitates weight loss; helps convert fat into muscle, increase life expectancy; reduces risk of cancer, coronary artery disease and osteoporosis; helps prevent adult onset diabetes; controls Alzheimer's, Lupus, AIDS, and CFS; Helps prevent adult onset diabetes; controls Alzheimer's, Lupuz, AIDS, and CFS; Helps with herpes, menopause, depression and memory.
Description
7-Keto DHEA is a modified form of the hormone, DHEA (i.e. an analog of DHEA). It is naturally present in the human body (as a metabolite of regular DHEA) and is claimed to exert more potent therapeutic effects than regular DHEA.
Health Benefits
The therapeutic properties of 7-Keto DHEA are very similar to those of DHEA. The primary difference between 7-Keto DHEA and regular DHEA is that the anabolic properties of DHEA are maximized while the androgenic effects (which are problematic) are minimized with 7-Keto DHEA. There are also claims that 7-Keto DHEA is more potent in terms of therapeutic effects compared to regular DHEA:
- Unlike regular DHEA, 7-Keto DHEA is NOT transformed into Testosterone or Estrogens.
Cardiovascular System
7-Keto DHEA may be useful for the treatment of Raynaud’s Disease. Metabolism
7-Keto DHEA may facilitate weight loss in persons afflicted with Obesity (by facilitating thermogenesis).
7-Keto DHEA may be useful for the treatment of Wilson’s Thyroid Syndrome (by increasing Triiodothyronine (T3) levels without affecting other Thyroid Hormones).
Nervous System
7-Keto DHEA may improve Memory (in some cases to a greater extent than regular DHEA).

Hormones
7-Keto DHEA stimulates the production of Triiodothyronine (T3).
Immune System Chemicals - Cytokines
7-Keto DHEA stimulates the production of Interleukin 2 (IL-2).
These Substances Enhance the Function of 7-Keto DHEA
Hormones
7-Keto DHEA is manufactured within the human body from regular Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) (regular DHEA is transformed into both 7-Keto DHEA and Testosterone).
Safety
All of the studies that have been conducted to date indicate that supplemental 7-Keto DHEA is entirely safe:
- The impressive safety profile of supplemental 7-Keto DHEA is highly likely to be due to its inability to be converted within the body to further Hormones (e.g. Testosterone, Estrogens).
- Human studies have demonstrated the absolute safety of supplemental 7-Keto DHEA at doses of 200 mg per day (in men aged 18 to 49). Dosage Recommendations
The usual therapeutic dosage of 7-Keto DHEA is 25 - 50 mg per day and may be effective in dosages of as low as 5 - 10 mg per day. Clinical trials of 7-Keto DHEA have involved the use of 50 - 200 mg per day. Initial results indicate that 7-Keto DHEA can safely be taken in higher doses than standard DHEA supplements (due to the lack of androgenic properties of 7-Keto DHEA compared to standard DHEA).
7-Keto DHEA may be a more suitable form of DHEA supplementation for women.
