7-KETO® is a naturally occurring metabolite of DHEA, providing the same benefits as DHEA without its associated side effects. Because the body's production of DHEA declines with age, so does the production of 7-KETO. Weight gain is a common sign of aging that often accompanies the decreased production of DHEA and its metabolites. 7-KETO® has been patented for its ability to safely promote thermogenesis as well as for the maintenance of healthy body weight.*
