7-KETO® DHEA is a unique metabolite of DHEA, which has been studied for over a decade at the University of Wisconsin. Of over 150 DHEA compounds, 7-Keto® has been found to be the most promising. It does not convert to testosterone or estrogen, limiting androgenic activity, and helps with thermogenesis, basal metabolism, and weight control. A double-blind study of 30 overweight adults found that 7-Keto® plus exercise supported a healthier body composition and BMI. It is also known as DHEA-Acetate-7-one, 3-acetoxy-androst-5-ene-7, 17-dione, or 3-acetyl-7-oxodehydroepiandrosterone.
