7-Keto

Sun Food’s 7-Keto supplement contains 25 milligrams of DHEA Acetate 7-one, or 7-Keto DHEA

The chemical compound that makes up 7-Keto occurs naturally in the body, and is produced primarily in the adrenal glands and the skin. Levels rise gradually until about age of 20 and then slowly begin to descend around age 30, which may be why supplements can help to combat aging. It also plays a role in thermogenesis by boosting the levels of three enzymes that stimulate fatty acid oxidation in the liver. Some doctors believe that decreased 7-Keto levels may be partly responsible for the increased body fat often seen in older people.

This supplement’s anti-aging benefits make it naturally appealing to those who are finding losing weight to be increasingly challenging as they get older. Given its potential to ward off osteoporosis, high blood pressure and other ailments, 7-Keto may also be worth considering even by those without weight problems. Since it does not affect the central nervous system, it may be used for those who generally avoid stimulants for any reason.

In spite of the fairly extensive reasearch that has already been performed on 7-Keto’s effects, doctors are still undecided on how much is safe for the average person to take. Erring on the side of caution, many recommend an average dose of no more than 25 mg per day.

Many dieters have lamented the greater difficulties of losing weight that come with age. Using 7-Keto as a supplement may help counteract these effects while warding off some potentially dangerous conditions. However, there is still little information on whether a 7-Keto supplement is useful to those under 30, or on what an appropriate dose might be for the average person.

While there is little doubt that it is safer and even more powerful than its prececessor DHEA, further research must still be done to determine 7-Keto’s place in the aging person’s overall health strategy.
