Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 7-Keto by Nature's Sunshine
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: 7-Keto, a compound related to DHEA. It also includes inactive ingredients (cellulose, a vegetable capsule, chickweed aerial parts, and magnesium stearate) that help hold the capsule together and deliver the dose.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for 7-Keto isn't established yet in the data we hold. Studies have looked at its use for obesity, depression, PTSD, Raynaud syndrome, and aging, but the available data isn't reliable enough to say whether it works for any of these.
If you're considering it for a specific reason, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current research actually shows.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Short-term use appears generally well tolerated in small studies, but we don't know much about long-term safety. A few people in trials reported nausea or vertigo, and there's one case report of lower red blood cell counts (hemoglobin and hematocrit) — though its real-world significance isn't clear.
Because 7-Keto is hormone-related, it's best avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding unless you've talked with your doctor.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for 7-Keto. That said, because it's a hormone-related supplement, it's still smart to run your medications through the search tool on this page before you begin.
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 might appeal to you if you're interested in exploring compounds related to DHEA, but the evidence for its benefits isn't solid yet. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a blood disorder, talk with your pharmacist before starting.
Check your medications against our tool below, especially if you take anything hormone-related.
