7-keto DHEA benefit and risk
7-keto DHEA study, 7-keto benefits

7-keto DHEA is a hormone similar to DHEA. Proponents claim that 7-Keto DHEA cannot be metabolized to active androgenic or estrogenic hormones but retains and enhances the immunologic, memory-enhancing and thermogenic effects of DHEA. 7 keto DHEA has been promoted for weight loss, however, even if it does so, using hormones for weight loss is not the best solution since there are bound to be long term hormone side effects that would make some people regret they used 7 keto DHEA for this purpose.
   DHEA has sexual enhancement properties. We do not know if 7-keto DHEA has the same effect.

7-Keto DHEA Summary
As of March 2006, no human studies of any significance have been published on Medline regarding 7-keto DHEA. Therefore, no recommendations can be made at this time. 7 keto dhea is promote for weight loss, but I think safer alternatives are available.

Other Weight Loss options to consider
Green tea extract may be effective in some people as a weight loss pill. You can purchase
Green-Tea-Extract here.
Caffeine is often found in weight loss pills but I personally don't like my patients taking extra caffeine since it can cause increased heart rate and anxiety. Most people already consume enough caffeine through coffee, tea, sodas, and chocolate.
5-HTP is a nutrient that helps curb appetite in some individuals . 5-HTP, by converting into serotonin, can be used temporarily to improve will power and decrease the urge to eat until more established weight loss habits are in place. You can buy
5-HTP here. .
Hoodia is a cactus plant extract from the Kalahari desert in South Africa that has been getting a lot of attention lately. You can buy

Ginger may be helpful in some people but higher doses are required.

Alpha lipoic acid may also reduce appetite but it is primarily used as an antioxidant.
Guarana may work in combination with yerba mate and damiana

7-oxo-DHEA and Raynaud's phenomenon.

Ihler G, Chami-Stemmann H.
Texas A&M College of Medicine, College Station 77843, USA.
Patients with Raynaud's phenomenon have abnormal digital vasoconstriction in response to cold. The pathogenesis remains unknown but may involve a local neurovascular defect leading to vasoconstriction. Diagnosis of primary Raynaud's phenomenon is based on typical symptomatology coupled with normal physical examination, normal laboratory studies and lack of observable pathology by nail fold capillaroscopy. Secondary Raynaud's phenomenon is known to occur associated with several connective tissue diseases, vascular injury due to repeated vibrational trauma, and other causes which produce demonstrable vascular and microcirculatory damage. Treatment of Raynaud's symptoms is conservative and aimed at prevention of attacks. Patients are advised to remain warm and, if possible, to live in warm climates. We suggest that an ergogenic (thermogenic) steroid, 7-oxo-DHEA (3-acetoxyandrost-5-ene-7,17-dione), which is available without prescription as the trademarked 7-keto DHEA, may be very helpful in prevention of primary Raynaud's attacks by increasing the basal metabolic rate and inhibiting vasospasm.

Humaneticw and 7 keto dhea press release
Humanetics Ingredients Receives Patent for 7-Keto's Metabolic Modulation Properties
MINNEAPOLIS – January, 2007 - Humanetics Corporation announced today that it has recently received notification from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that 7-Keto has been granted a patent for modulating the basal metabolic rate & effecting weight loss, when administered in combination with a diet. This patent adds to the more than 25 patents already granted for varying uses of 7-Keto, including weight loss. 7-Keto is a naturally occurring substance produced by the body in the adrenal glands and that production declines with age. It works naturally with the body to enhance the activity of three key fat burning, thermogenic enzymes. The up-regulation of these key enzymes results in a higher metabolic rate.

7-keot dhea questions
Q. I am 44 years old and have low (bottom of normal range) testosterone levels, with very low DHEA levels. My doctor's suggested I take a supplement of oral DHEA. I've been reading the information on your site. I understand you don't advise which supplements to take but hope you can advise how each of the supplements, DHEA, 7-Keto DHEA and Pregnenolone might impact my situation?
   A. The whole person has to be treated, not an isolated blood test. If there are no symptoms associated with the low normal testosterone level, no hormone treatment should be started. There is not enough medical research with 7-keto dhea, dhea, and pregnenolone to know which form or dosage would be the best choice for long term hormone replacement.

Q. I came across a product for weight loss that has 7-keto dhea 100 mg. Is this too much 7-keto-dhea?
   A. Definitely. Any dose over 5 or 10 mg of 7 keto dhea is too high for long term use.
