HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 7-Keto DHEA 100 mg by Jarrow Formulas

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 (7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone-3beta-acetate), a DHEA-related compound. The remaining ingredients are inactive — microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and the capsule itself.

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 loss, fat burning, and metabolism support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, Aging, Body composition, Metabolic rate, Lean muscle mass.
  • 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 Obesity.

We hold insufficient evidence to rate 7-keto-DHEA for any of its studied uses: PTSD, obesity, depression, Raynaud syndrome, or aging. The science isn't yet established enough in our data to say whether it works for these conditions.

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 generally well tolerated in small studies, but long-term safety isn't well established, so we don't know what happens with extended use. Adverse effects in trials were rare: a small number of participants reported nausea or vertigo, and one case report described a drop in blood cell counts (hemoglobin and hematocrit) in a man taking it for a week — though the real-world significance of that is unclear.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy because hormone-related supplements lack enough data in pregnancy. Breastfeeding also lacks reliable safety information, so it's best avoided then too.

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. However, because 7-keto-DHEA is hormone-related, mention it to your pharmacist or doctor before starting — they can spot any concerns with your specific medications that our data might not cover.

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 appeal to you if you're exploring options for PTSD, obesity, depression, or age-related concerns, but the evidence for its use isn't solid yet. Avoid it if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking hormone-sensitive medications — check with your pharmacist first.

7-Keto DHEA 100 mg by Jarrow Formulas: Common Questions

Does 7-Keto DHEA 100 mg by Jarrow Formulas interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in 7-Keto DHEA 100 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
7-Keto DHEA 100 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 while I'm pregnant?
The safety data advises against it. Hormone-related supplements like this one don't have enough pregnancy safety information, so it's best to avoid it and talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Is it safe to use while breastfeeding?
No reliable safety information is available, so it's best avoided while breastfeeding. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether this product is right for you.
What side effects should I watch for?
Side effects are rare in studies. A small number of people reported nausea or dizziness. One case reported a drop in blood cell counts after a week of use, though we don't know how common that is. Stop and call your pharmacist if anything feels off.
Does this actually work for weight loss?
We don't have reliable evidence yet that it works for obesity. The research so far is too limited to say whether it's effective.
How long can I safely take this?
Short-term use appears generally well tolerated in small studies, but long-term safety isn't established. Talk with your pharmacist about how long is safe for your situation.
