7-Keto - Patentlean
7-KETO
(3-acetyl-7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone) is a naturally occurring metabolite
of the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).1 DHEA is the most
abundant of the adrenal steroid hormones and serves as a precursor for sex
hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone.
7-KETO was developed by researchers who were looking for biologically
active metabolites of DHEA that could not be converted to the potentially
cancer-causing sex steroids (e.g., estrogen and testosterone).
7-keto-DHEA is for sale, under license from
the original patent holder, on several sites around the country.
The capacity of 7-KETO to promote weight loss in overweight
people been investigated in a double-blind study.6 Participants in the study
were advised to exercise three times per week for 45 minutes and to eat an
1,800-calorie per day diet. Each person was given either a placebo or 100 mg
of 7-KETO twice daily. After eight weeks, those receiving 7-KETO had lost an
average of 6.34 pounds, compared with 2.13 pounds in the placebo group (a
statistically significant difference). In addition, the percentage of body
fat decreased by 1.8% in the 7-KETO group, compared with only 0.57% in the
placebo group. |
