7-Keto-DHEA

This ingredient is a metabolite of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), a natural hormone of the adrenal glands.  Because 7-Keto DHEA does not convert into the sex steroids, testosterone and estrogens, it can have many of the benefits of DHEA such as increased energy, sex drive, and even fat loss without any unwanted side effects.  In fact, several studies show that this patented compound can have powerful fat burning effects in healthy individuals.  One study published in the Current Therapeutic Research journal in 2000 showed that 7-keto DHEA caused three times more fat loss versus a placebo.  That is good news for people looking to get the most out of their exercise program! According to the research, 7-Keto DHEA may increase levels of the thyroid hormone T3. This can lead to an increased metabolism and greater fat burning.  A good dose is 100 mg taken 2 times daily.
