7-KETO&ampreg; is a naturally occurring metabolite of DHEA, providing the same benefits as DHEA without its associated side effects.&ampnbsp; Because the body's production of DHEA declines with age, so does the production of 7-KETO.&ampnbsp; Weight gain is a common sign of aging that often accompanies the decreased production of DHEA and its metabolites.&ampnbsp; 7-KETO&ampreg; has been patented for its ability to safely promote thermogenesis as well as for the maintenance of healthy body weight.*
