7 Keto DHEA
7-keto DHEA is a metabolite of the adrenal hormone DHEA called
dehydroepiandrosterone and a better way to take DHEA.
7-Keto DHEA is normal metabolite in the body that can be converted to
other active metabolites that don't have hormonal [Oestrogen or
testosterone] effects. In other words, 7-Keto DHEA is a bio-identical
hormone that is found naturally in the body. Thus your body has the
necessary enzymes to metabolize this compound. 7-keto DHEA is
produced in the adrenal glands, brain and skin. There are many DHEA
metabolites, yet 7-keto seems to be one of the most valuable among
them. 7-keto DHEA is regarded with positive creating wellness effects
because it works like DHEA but no hormone side effects.
7-Keto DHEA may enhance immune function, decrease muscle loss,
decrease stress, increase metabolic rate and accelerate weight loss in
healthy adults. Anti-ageing medicine uses 7-keto
Immune Health
7-keto DHEA has also been shown to improve immune function. In the
USA the Minnesota Applied Research Center, performed a four-week
human clinical trial to determine the effects of 7-keto on elderly men
and women. Using 100mg two times a day, the subjects experienced
improved immune function, as well as an increase in immune helper
cells, increased white blood cells and decreased blood pressure. These
doses are higher than recommended but the study clearly showed
positive health benefits for 7-Ket DHEA.
Many people understand chronic use of “Steroids” for dease
management like asthma and arthritis act like cortisol. They get weight
gain, thinning of skin and bone loss. Thus the patient has DHEA drop and
cortisol dominance, 7-Keto DHEA has this anti-cortisol effect so can
repair and replace the hormone balance.
Weight Loss
7-keto DHEA has clinically been shown to increase metabolism and
contribute to healthy weight loss in numerous studies. The reason why
7-keto DHEA contributes to weight loss is by increasing the activity of
enzymes that are responsible for fatty acid oxidation. This increased
oxidation improves resting metabolic rate (RMR) hence weight loss
results.
These enzymes responsible are Acyl CoA-oxidase, malic enzyme, and
glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase that increase thermogenesis. A
double blind, placebo-controlled study on 30 overweight adults showed
a 10kg decrease in body fat, compared to 6kg in placebo. More of the
weight lost was body fat in the 7-keto DHEA group. Thyroid hormone
was elevated which is a positive side effect in many low Thyroid patients
(on t3 only short term), but no other side effects were reported.
Conclusion a good diet and exercise, coupled with 7-keto DHEA has
been shown to accelerate fat loss in men and women without any
stimulant effect on the body. Anecdotal reports from patients are
10-15mg of 7 keto DHEA is beneficial for weight loss, used for 4
weeks with Low calorie diet and exercise.
Anti-Aging
As a natural metabolite of the hormone DHEA, 7-keto also naturally
declines with age. 7-keto DHEA levels rise until age 20. By 30, blood
concentrations begin to decline, reducing by up to 50 percent by age 50.
Decreases in DHEA and 7-keto can lead to dominance of the stress
hormone cortisol, which can contribute to aging and disease. A recent
study evaluated the effect of 7-keto DHEA on markers for heart disease.
Only 25mg per day for five days significantly raised HDL or good
cholesterol. The total cholesterol reduction was low, but the atherogenic
index--a measure for risk of cardiovascular disease showed marked
improvement. 7-keto DHEA may also help to improve brain function by
helping neurons establish contact with others, increasing efficiency in
the aging brain. A leading researcher of 7-keto, Dr. Henry Lardy, says
that 7-keto provides many of the benefits of DHEA supplements with
none of the side effects.
