The Non-Stimulant Weight Loss Ingredient
Many weight loss ingredients have come and gone over the past 10 years, fading in popularity due lack of results, Federal Trade Commission crackdowns on false claims and concerns over safety and liability. During this time, 7-Keto has steadily and quietly risen to the top as a weight loss ingredient. Why? Because it continues to stand up to the more rigorous scrutiny of today’s nutraceutical manufacturers and can back up its claims for safe and effective weight loss, which are critical for the longevity of any dietary ingredient.
Why We Gain Weight
As we age, our body’s production of DHEA (known as the "fountain of youth" hormone) decreases. DHEA levels peak at about age 20 and by age 40 we produce half the DHEA that we did at age 20; by 65, our bodies are producing about 15% of the DHEA we produced at age 20. This decline has been linked to many common negative effects of aging such as a slowed immune system, loss of memory and a general lack of energy. For more information on DHEA, click here.
While widely available as a dietary supplement in the mid 1990s to slow the effects of aging, one unfortunate side effect of supplemental DHEA was its conversion into the sex steroids, testosterone and estrogens. Although beneficial in some aspects, increased levels of these steroids were worrisome for some individuals and in 1997 the National Institute on Aging issued warnings to consumers about the conversion of supplemental DHEA into testosterone and estrogens. This warning left consumers confused and concerned that this wonderful anti-aging supplement could potentially have some unwanted effects.
Humanetics Corporation introduces 7-Keto, a better DHEA.
Investing significant time and money into a methodical research program that has spanned the past 14 years, Humanetics conducted rigorous toxicology, pharmacokinetic and human safety trials to ensure that 7-Keto:
- is non-toxic,
- cannot accumulate in the body over time,
- does not affect any hormone levels,
- is free of any serious side effects.
Most importantly, the research of Dr. Henry Lardy discovered a metabolite of DHEA that wasn't converted in the body to the sex steroids. For more information on how 7-Keto works, click here.
Making Sure Its Safe For You.
Prior to any commercial sale of 7-oxo DHEA, Humanetics Corporation commissioned a series of thorough toxicology evaluations and studies using pharmaceutical industry protocols. Careful toxicology and safety studies are paramount to ensuring the basic premise of safety for any ingested compound. However, most dietary supplements lack this level of thorough study and many lack even basic toxicology research. As many weight loss compounds come under scrutiny for safety, 7-Keto provides peace of mind that it can be used safely.
