7-Keto-Gen

:: Increase lean mass and strength in individuals over 30 years of age
:: Transport body fat to the muscles
:: Powerful maintenance signaling system...

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is the most abundant hormone circulating in the blood and is produced in the adrenal glands. Clinical conditions such as insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and age-induced sarcopenia all have been positively influenced by the use of DHEA.

The average human adult replaces over 300 billion cells every day - for growth, maintenance and repair with DHEA being the most powerful maintenance signaling system. Without sufficient DHEA, cel repair is compromised which could lead to degenerative diseases. Raising DHEA levels helps transporting body fat to the muscles where it is metabolised; iIt does this by improving the efficiency of carnitine as the fat transporter. DHEA supplementation also works to increase testosterone levels in older men and women, whose DHEA is below that of a 30-year-old. The result is an increase in lean mass and muscle strength.

A couple of years ago the National Institute of Aging issued a public service announcement regarding DHEA’s safety and warned consumers of its sex steroid associated side effects. This opened the door for a safer and unbanned alternative namely 7-Keto-Gen. 7-Keto-Gen is a downstream metabolite of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) and is promoted as being a “non-androgenic” or “estrogenic” version of DHEA (not converted to testosterone or estrogen). 7-Keto-Gen improves lean body mass by reducing cortisol and increasing testosterone-to-cortisol ratios enabling the body to build muscle in a growth promoting environment. It has also been shown to increase the body’s ability to burn calories (an ergosteroid influences energy metabolism).
