7-OXO-DHEA, a safe and natural metabolite of DHEA, was the subject of research
for over a decade at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Of over 150 DHEA
compounds tested, 7-OXO proved to be the most promising form. Researchers
discovered that 7-OXO does not convert to testosterone or estrogen, minimizing
androgenic activity, and supports various physiological processes. It is several
times more potent than DHEA in stimulating the thermogenic enzymes of the liver,
promotes basal metabolism, and helps to increase the lean/adipose ratio. These
actions safely support a leaner BMI (Body Mass Index) and healthy weight control.
In a double-blind study involving 30 over weight adults, 7-OXO supported healthy
body composition and BMI when combined with exercise. Other patented applications
include enhancing healthy immune function and supporting memory and cognitive
processes in animal studies. 7-OXO DHEA is also known as DHEA-Acetate-7-one,
3-acetoxy-androst-5-ene-7,17-dione,or 3-acetyl-7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone.
7-OXO DHEA is a versatile, patented DHEA metabolite providing
metabolic, immune and memory support without converting to the sex hormones
testosterone or estrogen.
Research has shown
7-OXO DHEA increases thermogenic enzyme activity ands upports healthy thyroid
function. Increases in thermogenic enzyme activity may increase body metabolic
rate and promote weight loss without affecting caloric intake. 7-OXO increases triiodothyronine (T3) levels in the body, which are linked to basal (or resting)
metabolism. Slight elevation of T3 may in turn result in higher metabolic rates
for burning calories. However, 7-OXO does not raise T3 levels outside the normal
range, and T3 is different than T4 or TSH, the thyroid hormones measured for
medical thyroid hormone level tests. In an eight-week clinical trial, the group
taking 7-OXO significantly reduced both body weight and body fat compared to the
placebo-controlled group. Participants in both groups also exercised three hours
per week and followed a healthy diet. Participants taking 7-OXO had three times
the weight loss and fat loss as people in the other group. These participants
lost an average of 3. 76 pounds at the end of four weeks and 6. 34 pounds at the
end of eight weeks. In terms of actual body composition changes, people
taking 7-OXO lost 0. 74% body fat at the end of four weeks and 1. 8% body fat at the end of weight weeks.
7-OXO DHEA also elevated T3 levels in study
participants, though these levels did not exceed normal ranges.
Unlike DHEA, 7-OXO does not produce clinically significant serum hormone (testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, estradiol, cortisol, or insulin)
changes. And during the study, 7-OXO did not produce adverse side effects, which have been known to occur with some other weight loss products.
