Jarrow 7-Keto DHEA, 100 mg, 30 Cap

What does Seven (7)-Keto DHEA do?

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

Jarrow FORMULAS® 7-Keto® DHEA is a naturally occurring metabolite of DHEA. It is unable to metabolize into sex hormones; therefore, it can provide many of the same benefits of DHEA without its associated side effects. In the body, 7-Keto DHEA is responsible for activating enzymes responsible for fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism. The body’s production of 7-Keto DHEA declines with age, which is directly correlated with a decline in metabolic rate. Clinical studies of 7-Keto DHEA demonstrated increases in metabolic rate and improvement in body mass index.

Who Can Benefit From this Product?
Those seeking to enhance metabolism, promote youthfulness and whose body levels of DHEA have fallen can benefit from using 7-Keto DHEA.*

What Distinguishes this Product?
• 100 mg of 7-Keto DHEA Per Capsule

How Does Each Active Ingredient Function in this Product?

7-oxodehydroepiandrosterone (7-Keto DHEA):  Clinical studies with 7-Keto DHEA demonstrate increases in metabolic rate and improvement in body mass index.*

7-Keto ®

Youth is all about hormones. Sex hormones in particular are critical to maintaining vibrancy and good health. As people age, the levels of sex hormones in the body drop precipitously. Replacing certain hormones with supplements may be a consideration people as they age. Hormones are involved in the proper functioning of almost every system in the body including cardiovascular, brain, bone and immune health. As we age, changing levels of hormones can affect these functions.

DHEA
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands and the most common steroid hormone in the body. DHEA is produced in our bodies from cholesterol and secreted by the adrenals into the bloodstream. DHEA is then converted, as needed, into other hormones like testosterone and estrogen. Importantly, excess DHEA is not used by the body and circulates untouched in the bloodstream. This allows strict control of testosterone and estrogen levels. This also means that if one’s body already produces enough DHEA, supplementing with more is unlikely to have any beneficial effect.

Often referred to as the “fountain of youth” hormone, DHEA levels are closely associated with good health, while low levels are connected to various health problems, and it is well-documented that DHEA decreases with age. Furthermore, there may also be sex differences in DHEA level changes. It appears that the ability of women to produce DHEA may decrease more quickly than that of men. By age 65 in humans, DHEA production declines by nearly 80%, on average, contributing to symptoms that are normally attributed to old age.

7-Keto DHEA: The Perfect Hormone
Among DHEA’s many natural metabolites, 7-Keto DHEA has attracted much attention for its ability to support cholesterol health, weight management, muscle retention, stress management and immune function in a safe and effective manner. Much of this may be overblown hype, but there are undoubtedly some beneficial effects.

According to scientists at the National Academy of Sciences, 7-Keto DHEA offers the potential benefits of DHEA without the risks. 7-Keto is not converted into estrogen or testosterone. It also does not cause growth of unwanted hair or acne, side-effects that have been reported with DHEA use. Safety studies show 7-Keto does not damage DNA in rats and monkeys, and has no other adverse effects, even at 70 times the recommended amount suggested for use in humans.

As the body’s production of DHEA declines with age, so does its production of 7-Keto. It appears weight gain also parallels decreasing levels of DHEA and its metabolites. 7-Keto may help people metabolize fat through a process known as thermogenesis, which generates heat and energy that consumes calories and burns fat. 7-Keto activates liver enzymes that stimulate fatty acid oxidation. Clinical studies of 7-Keto DHEA demonstrated increases in metabolic rate and improvement in body mass index.*

Promoting Youth
Recreating the youthful balance of hormones is where DHEA’s value really stands out. Because it is metabolized into other hormones, DHEA allows the body to choose which hormone is needed, which accounts for the wide range of anti-aging benefits. DHEA’s metabolites, including 7-Keto DHEA, also show unique youthpromoting benefits.* Practitioners recommend DHEA and 7-Keto DHEA for people over age 40 who want to slow the aging process and maintain a healthy hormonal balance. Together with a sensible diet and exercise program, DHEA and 7-Keto can add significantly to health and longevity.*

Although 7-Keto does not raise estrogen or testosterone levels, and large amounts appear to have no adverse effects in animals, longterm safety for humans has not been demonstrated. Being chemically related to steroid hormones, the potential for adverse effects must be considered. People wishing to take 7-Keto, particularly those who have a thyroid disorder or are taking thyroid hormone, should consult a physician.
