7-keto DHEA

July 1998

You'll see ads for "7-keto DHEA"...promoting it as a "safer"version of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone).

Lots of people take DHEA to increase energy and well-being andslow aging. But there's not much proof to back up these claims...andnot much is known about its long-term effects.

One concern is that DHEA might INCREASE the risk of prostatecancer and breast cancer...because it's metabolized to testosteroneand estrogen.
