What is 7 keto dhea and are there side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
7-keto DHEA(7K-DHEA): It is related to dhea, androstenedione and other molecules that can be converted into testosterone & estrogen. 7k-dhea, however, cannot be converted into either of these. It is fairly new, and touted for weight loss & body building. It is sold as a dietary supplement, meaning no studies proving effectiveness were required. No side effects have been demonstrated. It is banned by wada for athletes.
