DHEA and 7-Keto

Right i read several medical articles on these compounds and i purchased them to try them out.

so here are my observation, i hope those of you out there who are looking at these compounds may find this useful.

OK
DHEA (De Hydro Epi Androsterone) notice the Androsterone. This is a Hormone precursor which every one makes and is converted in the body into other hormones and suspected pheromones as well.
DHEA is produced in the Adrenal glands, brain, skin and 2 other places, and is converted into androstenedione, which is then converted to testerone in men and estrogen in women.

Levels peak around mid 20’s and begin to drop of after 30’s. 80 year olds have around 80% less DHEA in their bodies then a 25 year old. This is a remarkable correlation, as we know pheromones also peak in the mid 20’s and begin to drop of after the 30’s.

Though there is no conclusive evidence yet that DHEA is converted to pheromones, the correllation demonstrates an inelastic relationship between the two.

DHEA is aslo known as the stay young or the anti ageing hormone, people with high levels of DHEA are healthier, thinner, younger looking for their age group in general.

There is anecdotal evidence that a fall in DHEA also leads to gain in weight. hhhmm weight loss.

So well lets have my evidence..

i started taking DHEA a month ago, this is what i have noticed…

  • I am leaner, definetely my appetite is under control, so i am eating only what my body needs. I do not feel the need to eat more or feel excessively hungry. i have lost around 1 kilo which is good considering i am making no effort to loose weight.
  • I skin is shinier and more smoother looking. I wash my face with exfoliatiing face wash any way, but that normally makes my face pale. Definetely look healthier.
  • My mind is more sharper, i can focus and do the tasks i need to do.
  • I am sleeping more hours then normal, but i have weird dreams.
  • My body odor, well, i can actuolly detect a change in odor. Its definetly pleasant and musky. Less pungent then instant female magic, but in that direction.
  • I find women are more relaxed and jovial around me, and laugh at my jokes more, and giving attraction indicators as well.
    And i havent been using the pheros as regularly as usual. Only on 2 occassions i did use AMMO, and the 2 ladies were very excited.

7-Keto is a more refined and more complex hormone pre-cursor and is suppossed to be a more richer hormone pre-cursor, better the DHEA.

I am 33 by the way so my DHEA levels and Pheromone levels are supposed to be declining.

Natural sources of DHEA is Yams, (if you know what that is). Other wise you have to buy them as a food supplement so no prescription needed.

I have been using 1 25mg of DHEA and 1 25mg of 7-keto per day.

If you have further info please share with us.

Yams? Yes, I have heard of that. Although most yams that are bought in stores are sweet potatoes, not true yams. They are not grown in the US because they don’t have a good yield and are less flavorful or nutritious.

Actually, DHEA won’t necessarily raise testosterone. It’s a prohormone that has very complex effects on the body. DHEA would only raise testosterone if your body is producing too little DHEA, it won’t boost it, for instance in bodybuilding, at least from what I’ve read.

Sweet potatoes, saw palmetto, and soybeans can cause the body to increase DHEA production, and block the effects of DHT (a powerful androgen that also causes baldness and feeds prostate tumors). Another way to boost DHEA production is to eat a low calorie diet.

7-keto is also said to be an effective “fat burner” for those who are dieting… (@ 100mg 2/day) although I can’t recall where I read that…

There is a lot of info floating around on the net regarding DHEA… from my research and understanding… DHEA can help free up testosterone and keep cortisol levels in check. It also helps your libido.

Regarding your weight loss… testosterone has been linked to weight loss and so has muscle. The more muscle you have - the easier it is to lose weight. Look at some of your local big guys at the gym and bodybuilders (natural/not natural) - the have the ability to pack on weight over the winter and shed it like nothing come spring time.

If you suspect your DHEA levels being low - goto your medical doctor and have him do bloodwork on you. Tell him you want your DHEA, testosterone, thyroid, and IGF1 levels checked.

All those should be checked as men get older. They all have a profound effect on your body. IGF1 is what keeps you young… your pituitary gland produces growth hormone… when it reaches your liver - it breaks it down to IGF1. It’s what is responsible for your height and keeping you young :slight_smile:

I don’t have much info on 7-keto - but like i said… goto your medical doctor and have him runs tests… it absolutely cannot hurt to find out if your levels are up to par.

lastly, I wouldn’t say it would hurt taking DHEA as a suppliment however - short of making you have a higher sense of well being - i don’t see it having too much of an effect - unless your levels are confirmed being low.
