HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 7-Keto DHEA 100 mg by Swanson
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 has one active ingredient: 7-keto metabolite of DHEA, a compound your body naturally produces as a breakdown product of DHEA (a hormone precursor). Each capsule delivers 100 mg.
The inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, and calcium palmitate — are fillers and capsule material.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for 7-keto DHEA isn't established for any of its studied uses. Studies have looked at it for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obesity, depression, Raynaud syndrome (a circulation problem), and aging, but the data we hold rates all of these as having insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Short-term use appears generally tolerated in small studies, but long-term safety isn't well established — we don't have enough data on what happens if you take it for months or years. Nausea and vertigo have been reported in clinical trials, though in small numbers.
One case report described a dip in red blood cell levels, though the clinical importance isn't clear. Because hormone-related supplements carry pregnancy and breastfeeding concerns, the safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for 7-keto DHEA, but since it's a hormone-related supplement, ask your pharmacist to double-check it against any prescription medications you take.
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 appeal to you if you're exploring hormone-related supplements for anti-aging or mood, but evidence of benefit isn't solid yet. If you're pregnant, nursing, or on any medications, talk with your pharmacist before starting.
Long-term safety data is sparse, so this is one to use short-term and revisit with your provider.
