Jarrow Formulas 7-Keto DHEA - Does It Work?-Review
Introduction
The following is a review of the supplement 7-Keto DHEA: This supplement is produced by the company Jarrow Formulas. The company claims that this product will support energy levels. It will activate the enzymes responsible for carbohydrate and fatty-acid metabolism, therefore helping to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. In addition, this product is claimed to help supply fitness and sporting needs.
Ingredients
- 7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone-3ß-acetate (100 mg)
- Cellulose

The capsule consists of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. DHEA is known to increase the metabolic rate, but also to enhance the body mass index (BMI). Although the body produces this substance, ageing causes a drop in the level, which correlates to a decrease in the metabolic rate.
Dosage
The manufacturer states that one (1) capsule should be taken twice daily. Alternatively, a user can follow the instructions of their health-care provider. The company neglects to inform the user whether this supplement should be taken with or without food. Time of the day at which the product should be taken for optimal benefits, is omitted.
Possible Side Effects
Although this supplement is free from wheat, gluten, soybeans, dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, and nuts, pregnant women and nursing mothers should not take this product. Anyone with a medical problem, on prescription medication, or younger than 18 years of age, should first speak to their doctor before embarking on 7-Keto DHEA.

Our 7-Keto DHEA Review – Conclusion
Boosting energy levels and losing weight with the use of 7-Keto DHEA appears promising. The product comes in an easy-to-take capsule form. More so, the company offers two different sizes of bottle (one 30-capsule and another 60-capsule). Reviews on this product are mostly positive. There are some concerns, however. One is the lack of a manufacturer’s guarantee, which questions the effectiveness of this supplement. The product is also not available directly from the manufacturer, only on third-party sites which offer their own pricing. Lastly, the dosage instructions are unclear.
