Further Study of 7-Keto DHEA Supplementation Suggest Growing Evidence of Benefit for Women's Health

Dec. 4, 2012 - PRLog -- If one is looking to enhance weight loss efforts, one should consider using 7-KetoDehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) as a daily dietary supplement. 7-Keto has many other versatile health benefits as well.

7-Keto is a metabolite (or by-product) of the hormone DHEA which is produced naturally by the adrenal glands. Unlike DHEA, 7-Keto DHEA does not convert into the hormones testosterone (in men) and estrogen (in women), but has the same health benefits as DHEA.

One of 7-Keto’s benefits is increasing metabolism to assist in weight loss. 7-Keto combined with green tea extract has been demonstrated in a 2000 randomized, controlled trial (RCT) (1) and 2007 RCT study (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17418559) to increase
thermogenesis and metabolism, and weight loss in overweight adults.

Dr. Mehmet Oz recommends 7-Keto supplements as a natural aid to weight loss. He suggests taking 200mg a day (100 mg in the morning and 100 mg at night) which helps keep a sufficient amount of the metabolite in the blood stream (http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/best-belly-blasting-supple...).

7-Keto also provides anti-aging and anti-stress benefits. Although the body naturally produces 7-Keto by the hormone DHEA, the amount of DHEA produced decreases up to 50% by age 50. Low levels of DHEA have serious implications for post-menopausal women. Low levels of DHEA are associated with aging, decreased immune function, memory and mental clarity, certain cancers, and osteoperosis. 7-Keto supplementation will
replace the amount of DHEA no longer produced. A Czech clinical study showed that increased 7-Keto in the system helps to reduce stress by counteracting the cortisol levels, the hormone that is responsible for stress. Because stress is linked to aging and sickness, 7-Keto has been shown to slow the aging process.

In addition, 7-Keto has been shown in various studies to provide excellent support of the immune system, thyroid function, muscle health, sexual health, and cardiovascular health in men and women. Specifically for women, there is growing evidence that 7-Keto supports bone density health, healthy memory and cognition, infertility and ovarian function. Studies also suggest that 7-Keto may relieve debilitating symptoms of
menopause in women, e.g. vaginal pain, osteoporosis, hot flashes or emotional disturbances such as fatigue, irritability, anxiety, and depression, among others. More studies are required to confirm this.

7-Keto is reported as safe to consume as a dietary supplement with no side effects when taken at the recommended dosage.
