* High Potency * DHEA Metabolite * Clinically Studied * Vegetarian Formula * Awarded 5 US Patents * A Dietary Supplement 7-Keto (a trade name for 3-acetyl-7-oxo dehydroepiandrosterone or 7-oxo-DHEA) is a substance found naturally in the body and is primarily produced by the adrenal glands. 7-Keto is metabolized from DHEA, and similar to DHEA, 7-Keto levels have been known to decline with advancing age. However, unlike DHEA, 7-Keto does not convert to Estrogen or Testosterone. This lack of conversion with 7-Keto may be beneficial since overproduction of these two hormones can lead to unwanted side effects.
