7-Keto DHEA

Dr Slagle predominantly recommends this product in those over 40 who are overweight with a predominance of abdominal fat. She also recommends it for those with low DHEA Sulfate blood levels who are unable to take DHEA because of a sex hormone related cancer history.

7-Keto®may be helpful in supporting energy production, immune functioning, healthy skin, the production of lean muscle tissue , weight loss, memory support, thyroid support, as well as support of the liver & other body functions. 7- KETO® is also a powerful antioxidant. 7- KETO® is a natural metabolite of the adrenal hormone, DHEA. An advantage of 7-KETO® is that it does not convert to other steroid hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, while DHEA can make this conversion.

7-KETO® boosts the thyroid gland's production of T3, which is the physiologically active form of thyroid in our bodies. This may be why some research suggests it is effective in helping to promote weight and fat loss, specifically abdominal fat. A double blind clinical trial used 7 -Keto® on overweight adults to study the effects of 7-KETO® on body fat. Half were given 100 mg of 7-KETO® twice daily, the other half a placebo. All subjects did aerobic exercises three times per week for 60 minutes. Body composition was tested at the start of the trial and twice more at the 4- and 8-week marks. The 7-KETO® group showed a 1.8% reduction in body fat while the control group lost 0.57% body fat. After 8 weeks, the 7-KETO® group lost an average of 6.34 pounds and the placebo group lost an average of 2.13 pounds. No side effects were reported. Researchers concluded that 7-KETO® may reduce body fat at a dosage of 200 mg per person per day.

Although DHEA is the most plentiful hormone in the human body, production declines with age. 7-Keto® decreases as the levels of DHEA decrease because it is a metabolic breakdown product of DHEA.

The safety evaluation of 7-KETO® was based on observations from an extensive array of pre-clinical and clinical safety studies in both humans and animal subjects. In all cases, 7-KETO® was consistently found to be safe for human consumption as a dietary supplement. However, long term safetey studies have not been conducted.
