HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 7-Keto DHEA 100 mg by Puritan's Pride

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 dehydroepiandrosterone acetate (7-keto-DHEA), a hormone precursor made in the body naturally. The softgel also includes inactive ingredients (soybean oil, gelatin, glycerin, soy lecithin, titanium dioxide, and yellow beeswax) that serve as the capsule and delivery system.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient 7-keto-dhea product and its label doesn't state a use — see 7-keto-dhea's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for 7-keto-DHEA is not established in the data we hold. Studies have looked at it for post-traumatic stress disorder, obesity, depression, Raynaud syndrome (a condition affecting blood flow to the fingers and toes), and aging, but the evidence is insufficient to rate whether it actually works for any of these uses.

If you're considering it for a specific reason, talk with your doctor about what the current research really shows.

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 of 7-keto-DHEA appears generally well tolerated in small studies, but long-term safety isn't known — we just don't have enough data on what happens with extended use. A small number of people in trials reported nausea or vertigo (dizziness).

One case report noted a man's hemoglobin and hematocrit (red blood cell measures) decreased during a week of use, though the real-world significance isn't clear. Because this is a hormone-related supplement, the safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

There isn't enough safety information to know whether it's okay while nursing, so skip it if you're breastfeeding.

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 7-keto-DHEA. Even so, because this is a hormone-related supplement, mention it to your pharmacist or doctor before you start, especially if you take anything affected by hormones or have a history of hormone-sensitive conditions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

7-Keto DHEA may be worth considering if you're interested in trying a hormone precursor for general wellness, but understand that we don't have solid evidence it works for the conditions it's marketed for. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid it.

Before you start, check your medications with our tool below, and talk with your pharmacist — hormone supplements can be tricky even when formal drug interactions aren't documented.

7-Keto DHEA 100 mg by Puritan's Pride: Common Questions

Does 7-Keto DHEA 100 mg by Puritan's Pride 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.
Is 7-keto-DHEA safe to take long-term?
Short-term use appears well tolerated in small studies, but long-term safety hasn't been established. We just don't have enough data on how it affects you over months or years. If you're thinking about taking it regularly, ask your pharmacist whether the unknown long-term picture is okay for your situation.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it in both cases. Because 7-keto-DHEA is hormone-related and we don't have enough safety information, it's best to skip it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor if you're considering it before or after pregnancy.
What side effects might I experience?
A small number of people in trials reported nausea or dizziness. One case report noted decreased red blood cell measures in a man after a week of use, though we're not sure how significant that is. Most people don't report problems, but these are worth knowing about.
Does 7-keto-DHEA actually work for weight loss or PTSD?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say. Studies have looked at it for obesity, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and aging, but the evidence just isn't solid enough to rate whether it actually helps. If you're considering it for one of these, talk with your doctor about what the real research shows.
What is 7-keto-DHEA and how is it different from regular DHEA?
7-keto-DHEA is a hormone precursor your body makes naturally. Unlike regular DHEA, the 7-keto form doesn't convert to testosterone or estrogen, which is why some people choose it. That said, because it's still a hormone-related supplement, the same caution applies.
