3-Acetyl-7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone (7-KETO) is a biologically-produced metabolite of the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which means that helps break that hormone into usable components. DHEA is the most common adrenal steroid hormone and it is important as a predecessor for gender-related hormones like estrogen or testosterone.
7-KETO is popular as a weight loss aid. While preliminary studies support this application, a lot of research still needs to be done to prove that it is safe an effective.
