7-Keto-dhea is a naturally occurring metabolite of Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). 7-Keto-dhea is involved in many biological functions including cellular production of heat (thermogenesis). DHEA production and 7-Keto-dhea, as well as metabolic rate, are known to naturally decrease with age. In clinical studies, 7-keto, a unique ingredient, has been shown to assist in the maintenance of a healthy body weight along with a proper diet and exercise regimen.
