HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 7-Keto 50 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: 7-Keto DHEA, a form of the hormone DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone). The remaining ingredients are inactive — microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — which help form and stabilize the capsule.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see 7-keto-dhea's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: weight management and lean muscle mass.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, Muscle strength, Aging, Body composition, Metabolic health, Fat loss.
  • The closest evidence on file: 7-keto-dhea is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Aging skin (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: 7-keto-dhea is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Muscle strength, Obesity, Aging.

The evidence for 7-Keto DHEA isn't established for the conditions it's marketed for. The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obesity, depression, Raynaud syndrome (a condition affecting blood flow to the fingers and toes), or aging.

That means studies so far haven't been solid enough to say whether it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 7-keto-dhea

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Short-term use appears to be generally well tolerated in small studies, but long-term safety isn't well established, so we don't know what happens if you take it for months or years. Side effects in trials have been rare — a small number of people reported nausea or vertigo (dizziness), and one case report described changes in red blood cell levels, though the clinical significance isn't clear.

The safety data advises against using it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, since there's not enough reliable information to know it's safe for you or your baby.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient 7-keto-dhea

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for this ingredient. That said, run your specific medications through the checker on this page to be sure, or ask your pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

7-Keto DHEA may be worth trying if you're interested in its marketed uses, but evidence for those uses isn't solid yet. Because it's a hormone-related supplement and long-term safety isn't known, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any blood-related concerns.

7-Keto 50 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe: Common Questions

Does 7-Keto 50 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in 7-Keto 50 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
7-Keto 50 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
The safety data advises against it. There isn't enough reliable safety information during pregnancy, and hormone-related supplements are best avoided at that time. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What about breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it while breastfeeding too. There's no reliable safety information for that situation, so it's best avoided. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you have questions.
Does 7-Keto DHEA actually work for weight loss?
The evidence isn't established yet. Studies so far haven't been solid enough to say whether it helps with obesity, so we can't confidently say it works for that purpose.
What side effects might I notice?
Side effects in trials were rare. A small number of people reported nausea or dizziness (vertigo). One case report noted changes in red blood cell levels, though it's not clear how significant that was.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Long-term safety isn't well established. Short-term use appears generally well tolerated in small studies, but we don't have solid data on what happens if you take it for months or years.
