7-keto Dhea

Drug Details

7-Keto-DHEA is a naturally occurring byproduct of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Unlike DHEA, 7-Keto-DHEA does not convert into sex hormones such as estrogen or testosterone. It has been studied for its potential to enhance metabolism and support weight loss by increasing thermogenesis—the body's process of generating heat and burning calories. Some research suggests that 7-Keto-DHEA may help boost resting metabolic rate, potentially aiding in weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise. However, the evidence is not conclusive, and more studies are needed to fully understand its effectiveness and safety. While generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects like nausea or dizziness. It's important to note that 7-Keto-DHEA is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for use in sports due to its classification as a prohibited anabolic agent.
