7-Keto Who has used it - Ausbb

26-11-2009, 08:13 AM

Hi All, I have just had a conversation with a guy i work with who was talking about a supplement that he is taking called 7keto. Now he didnt research anything about it, he only read the bottle it came in. So i have had a quick look on what i could find about this. So my question is does it work, or is it a overhyped supplement that is only designed to make the supplement companys money.

A bit of resaerch for the interested ppl

Description:
7-Keto (3-Acetyl-7-Oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone) is a naturally occurring metabolite of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone). In the body, 7-Keto is not converted into testosterone or estrogen to any appreciable degree. 7-Keto, as a downstream metabolite of DHEA, is produced in the body during the degradation of DHEA. 7 Keto can be measured in the blood as a ketosteroid.

Claims:
Improves immune system function
Aids in weight reduction / Thermogenic
Supports thyroid function
Non-androgenic or estrogenic
Enhances memory

Theory:
Because 7-Keto is a downstream metabolite of DHEA it is promoted as being a “non-androgenic” or “estrogenic” version of DHEA. It is also promoted as a weight loss aid for its supposed thermogenic effect. Animal studies demonstrate that it can enhance thermogenesis, which may translate into weight loss. Because DHEA levels decline as we age and ketosteroids are made from DHEA, all conditions which may benefit from DHEA supplementation, may also benefit from 7-Keto.

The key words here in the theory are "may" and "can" enhance thermogenesis not, does, and will, so it's really inconclusive. Try it for yourself and see how it goes. I don't know if it's still available in Aust. Is it?

Shrek, Yes it is still available in Australia.
