Product Description:

7-Ketodehydroepiandrosterone (7-Keto DHEA), with CAS number 566-19-8, is a naturally occurring metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). It is a steroid hormone derivative characterized by a ketone group at the C7 position of its androstane core structure. Its primary application is in the field of dietary supplements and nutraceuticals, where it is marketed for its potential metabolic and anti-aging benefits. Unlike DHEA, 7-Keto DHEA is not converted into estrogen or testosterone, which makes it a target for research into weight management, thermogenesis, and immune support. It is investigated as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or a key bioactive component in formulations aimed at modulating metabolism and supporting healthy aging. As a steroid metabolite, it also serves as an important biochemical standard and reference compound in endocrinology research and clinical diagnostics. Its stability and distinct metabolic pathway make it a subject of study in lipid biochemistry and hormone replacement therapy discussions.
