7-Keto is a naturally occurring metabolite of DHEA that does not affect hormone levels, but is known for its anti-aging properties. Because the body's production of DHEA declines with age, so does the production of 7-keto-DHEA. Weight gain is a common sign of aging that often accompanies the decreased production of DHEA and its metabolites.
NOW 7-KETO has been patented for its ability to promote thermogenesis as well as for the maintenance of healthy body weight. The special blend of ingredients in this product, including CLA and green tea polyphenols, work synergistically to provide healthy weight management, as well as antioxidant power.
7-Keto is a by-product of the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which is a natural chemical that is converted into the body building steroid hormone androgen as well as the sex steroid hormone estrogen.
Unlike DHEA, 7-Keto does not lead to an increase in steroid hormones. Rather, 7-Keto stimulates the thyroid gland, which in turn results in speeding up the body’s metabolism—an important component of 7-Keto related weight loss that has been suggested to be beneficial to overweight women. Another weight loss factor associated with 7-Keto is its ability to actively induce liver enzymes that cause thermogenesis—the generation of cellular heat. Other roles 7-Keto plays in health are:
• Improving lean body mass • Building muscle • Boosting the immune system • Enhancing memory • Reducing signs of aging
