7-keto Dhea whats new about it ?
The chemical
compound of this brand is 3-acetyl-7-oxo-dehydroepiandros-terone, a naturally
occurring metabolite primarily produced in the adrenal glands brain and skin.
It rises until about the age of 20 and then slowly descends beginning around
the age of 30.
This reduction in 7-Keto levels is partially responsible for the increases in
body fat and total body weight often seen in older people, but since DHEA and
7-Keto decline at a more rapid rate than cortisol, this creates a period of
cortisol dominance in our body that contributes to an increase of fat in our
abdominal region and this is a partial reason of why it is very hard to get the
abdominal definition that we had at an early age passed the 30’s.
Studies have demonstrated that 7-Keto does not accumulate in the body over time
and is almost free of unhealthy side effects. An analysis of the metabolite at
the Chicago Center for Clinical Research found that 7-Keto is rapidly absorbed
and sulfated, much like DHEA. Supplementation with 7-Keto can therefore have
relatively rapid benefits in terms of body fat and is often used by athlets,
though is not permitted in the WADA rules. One good news about this supplement
is that it does not convert to estrogen or testosterone and this makes it a
safe alternative for persons with hormone-sensitive cancers, for whom regular
DHEA may be too risky.”
A study at the Minnesota Applied Research Center and the Geriatric Research
Education and Clinical Center in Minneapolis found that four weeks of 7-Keto
supplementation improved immune function in elderly men and women. In this
randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 22 women and 20 men over
the age of 65 took 100 mg of 7-Keto twice daily or a placebo of identical shape
and size. Patients in the 7-Keto group had a significant decrease in immune
suppressor cells and a significant increase in immune helper cells. The 7-Keto
group also saw reductions in diastolic blood pressure and an increase in
neutrophils, the first white blood cells to respond to infection. The
scientists concluded that 7-Keto was well tolerated and had no serious adverse
effects.
7-Keto produces fat loss through the process of thermogenesis. This term refers
to the creation of heat, which is one of the forms of energy produced when the
body’s cells metabolize the food we eat. 7-Keto enhances the activity of three
thermogenic enzymes that stimulate fatty acid oxidation in the liver. These
thermogenic-en-hancing enzymes are fatty acyl CoA oxidase, malic enzyme, and
glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. These enzymes drive the liver cells to burn
fatty acids for energy, which causes a lowering of triglycerides in the liver.
Supplementation with 7-Keto has a dramatic effect on boosting levels of these
thermogenic-enhancing enzymes. Studies found that fatty acyl CoA oxidase
increased by 128%, while malic enzyme jumped 860%. The concentration of
glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase increased by 138% as well. Supplementation
with 7-Keto can therefore help reverse the decline in metabolic rate that makes
it so easy to put on weight as we age. Unlike caffeine and ephedrine, 7-Keto
does not have a central nervous system stimulating effect caused by
nor-adrenalin release, nor does 7-Keto increase heart rate or blood pressure, so
you might consider it as a source of help
The
best time to take 7-Keto is in the morning, when the body’s natural production
peaks. This ensures that more plentiful levels of this hormone will be
available consistent with the body’s natural cycle.
People should avoid taking 7-Keto in the evening, as high blood levels at
bedtime could stimulate brain activity and cause insomnia. Because 7-Keto is a
natural hormone metabolite and is easily assimilated, it can be taken with a
meal or on an empty stomach.
