7-Keto Review

7 Keto Logo7-KETO is a naturally occurring metabolite (metabolites break things down for use in the body) of the hormon dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).  DHEA serves as a precursor for the sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone.

So how does 7-KETO help in weight loss?

In one study, participants exercised thee times per week for 45 minutes each time, ate an 1,800 calorie per day diet and was given either a placebo or 100mg of 7-KETO twice daily.  After eight weeks, the KETO group lost an average of 6.34 pounds compared to the placebo group’s loss of 2.13 pounds.

There are no long-term studies available to show 7-KETO’s affect on humans.  Some have concerns that it may cause heart palpitations.  Others have even suggested maximum dosages of 5mg.  As always, it is up for you to decide if you are comfortable supplementing with 7-KETO.
