7-Keto Fuel is an improved non-androgenic form of DHEA. 7-Keto DHEA is a more potent form of DHEA (dehydro-epiandrosterone) that may improve lean body mass and enhance thermogenesis. As part of an exercise program, 7-KETO DHEA may improve lean body mass by reducing cortisol (a stress hormone that is immune suppressive and catabolic) and increasing testosterone-to-cortisol ratios enabling the body to build muscle in a growth promoting environment. 7-Keto DHEA has also been shown to increase thermogenesis, or your body's ability to burn calories. Give your training efforts a boost with this non-hormonal, non-androgenic derivative of DHEA

What is DHEA?

DHEA (a.k.a Dehydroepiandrosterone, prasterone) is a steroid hormone manufactured in humans in the adrenal glands, brain and gonads. Its exact role in the body is not fully understood, though it has been found that levels of DHEA decrease significantly after age 25.

Health Benefits

Recent research has found that DHEA may help relieve the pain and inflammation caused by systemic lupus erythematosus, by blocking certain inflammation-causing messengers in the body.

One study showed DHEA to help boost immunity in elderly subjects when administered with a flu vaccine. The effect was not present with another type of vaccine, so more studies are needed.

A study of women with under-active adrenal activity found that the administration of DHEA normalized steroid hormone levels, lessened feelings of depression and anxiety, and increased sexual interest.

Some scientists are looking into the possibility of prescribing DHEA to post-menopausal women in place of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), though some research suggests that this may increase the risk of uterine cancer.

There have been mixed results in research regarding effects of DHEA on both age-related memory loss and weight loss in obese subjects. More research is needed.

Usage Indications

The adrenal glands metabolize DHEA into androgens (male sex hormones) and estrogens (female sex hormones). Therefore, DHEA may increase the risk of hormone-aggravated cancers, and undesired androgenic side effects in women (such as acne, deepening of the voice, and increased body hair).

Due to the many possible side effects of DHEA, it is strongly advisable that this supplement be used only under direct medical supervision.

Typical oral dosage: 25-50mg daily – Follow the advice of your physician
DHEA is available in capsule, powder, tablet and cream form.

• Side effects: Women using oral DHEA have experienced the following: adverse effects on the liver; androgenic effects (see above); lowered HDL (good) cholesterol, which may raise heart disease risk; and increased insulin resistance. Both men and women taking DHEA orally have experienced an increased level of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor), which can raise the risk of certain types of cancer.
• Indications: Consult your physician for guidance in the use of DHEA. Individuals with prostate, breast, uterine, or ovarian cancer should not use this supplement. Pregnant/nursing women, teens and children should avoid DHEA.

What is 7-keto DHEA?

7-keto DHEA (a.k.a. 7-Oxo-Dehydroepiandrosterone, or 7-Oxo-DHEA) is a metabolite of DHEA, a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands in humans. Released to the public in 1998, 7-keto DHEA is a popular dietary supplement. Although its exact role in the body is not fully understood, 7-keto DHEA is reputed to have such benefits as increased thermogenic activity, and enhanced memory and immunity.

Health Benefits of 7-keto DHEA

Studies have found 7-keto DHEA to help correct a certain neurotransmitter disorder that causes memory loss in laboratory mice. Additional animal studies show that the supplement increases the production of metabolism-boosting enzymes in the body. Some research suggests that 7-keto DHEA may play a role in boosting immunity. More research is needed to determine if the above data apply to humans.

7-keto DHEA Usage Indications

General recommended 7-keto DHEA dosage: 50-100mg daily; Follow manufacturer’s directions. 7-keto DHEA is available in capsule form.

• Side effects: None reported.
• Indications: Consult your physician before beginning the use of this or any other dietary supplement. Because 7-KETO is not converted to estrogen or testosterone (as is DHEA), the supplement may be a safer bet for those prone to hormone-related cancers.
