HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 7-Keto DHEA 100 mg by Vitamin World

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, a form of 7-keto-DHEA, a compound related to hormones your body naturally makes. The softgel capsule also contains inactive ingredients (soybean oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, and soy lecithin) that help deliver the active ingredient.

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 yet established in reliable studies. We have insufficient evidence to rate whether it helps with post-traumatic stress disorder, obesity, depression, Raynaud syndrome (a condition affecting blood flow to the fingers), or aging.

More research is needed before we can say how well it works for these uses.

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 hasn't been studied well enough to know. A small number of trial participants reported nausea or dizziness.

One case report described changes in blood cell counts (decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit levels) in a person taking a lower dose for just a week — the real-world significance of this isn't clear. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy because hormone-related supplements carry unknown risks when a baby is developing.

There isn't enough reliable safety information to use this while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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 people looking to support healthy aging, weight, or mood, but the evidence that it works is not yet strong enough to claim it does. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety data advises against it.

Before you start, mention it to your pharmacist — especially if you take hormone-sensitive 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 generally well tolerated in small studies, but long-term safety hasn't been studied enough for us to know. If you're thinking of taking it regularly for months or longer, talk with your pharmacist first.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against it because hormone-related supplements carry unknown risks during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor if you're trying to conceive or are pregnant.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety information available. It's best to avoid it while breastfeeding — ask your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

A small number of trial participants reported nausea or dizziness. One case report described a change in blood cell counts, though the real-world meaning of that isn't clear.
