7 Keto DHEA Effects and Benefits
7-KETO, short for 3-acetyl-7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone, is a naturally occurring metabolite of the dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a hormone produced by the body. DHEA is the most abundant of the adrenal steroid hormones and function as a precursor for many important for sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone.
While claims have not be conclusively substantiated by clinical trails many individuals who have taken 7-KETO in conjunction with with proper diet and exercise report that it has promoted weith loss. Those of the medical professional believe that only those who have been tested and found to be low in DHEA should consider taking 7-KETO as a supplement as it may improve metabolism and energy levels.
Dosage
While there is no recommended dosage of 7-KETO for dieters you may consider the following information: In a double-blind trial in which participants were required to exercise three times per week for 45 minutes and reduce their caloric intake those who were administered 100 mg 7-KETO twice daily lost more weight than those who only exercised and reduced their caloric intake. While other factors may have played into the discrepancy many professionals do believe that 100 mg of 7-KETO taken twice dail in conjuction with a good diet and exercise can promote weight loss.
Side Effects
For those taking 200 mg or less of 7-KETO daily no major side effects are known.
