HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 7-Keto DHEA 25 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 DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone acetate) at 25 mg per softgel. It's a compound related to a hormone your body makes naturally.

The softgel also contains several inactive ingredients — soybean oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, soy lecithin, yellow beeswax, and titanium dioxide — which are used to make the capsule and deliver the active ingredient.

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 and metabolic support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, Aging, Athletic performance, Muscle strength, fat burning, metabolism — and 1 related terms.
  • 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 Athletic performance, Muscle strength, Obesity, Aging.

The evidence for 7-Keto DHEA is not yet established in our data. Studies to date are small, and we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works for PTSD, obesity, depression, Raynaud syndrome, or aging.

If you're considering it for one of these reasons, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current research actually shows and whether it's the right choice for you.

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 to be generally well tolerated in small studies, but we don't know how safe it is if you take it for a long time. In trial reports, a small number of participants reported nausea and one reported vertigo.

One case described changes in blood levels in someone taking 25 mg twice daily for a week, though the significance isn't clear. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy.

There isn't enough information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're nursing or planning to.

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. That said, always let your pharmacist know you're taking it so they can verify it won't interfere with any of your medications.

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 be worth exploring if you're interested in it for a specific reason — just know the evidence is still being built. If you're pregnant, this isn't the right choice.

If you're breastfeeding, check with your pharmacist first. No medication interactions are documented, but bring a full list of your prescriptions to your pharmacist before you start.

7-Keto DHEA 25 mg by Vitamin World: Common Questions

Does 7-Keto DHEA 25 mg by Vitamin World interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in 7-Keto DHEA 25 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
7-Keto DHEA 25 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?
We don't have enough data to say. Short-term use appears well tolerated in small studies, but long-term safety isn't well established. If you're thinking of taking it regularly, talk with your pharmacist about what we know and don't know yet.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against it — hormone-related supplements aren't recommended during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or planning to be, skip this one.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable information to say either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're nursing.
What are the side effects?
In trial reports, a small number of people reported nausea, and one reported vertigo. One case described a change in blood levels (hemoglobin and hematocrit) in someone taking this twice daily for a week, though we don't know how important that is. Most people taking it short-term haven't reported problems.
Does this product contain soy?
Yes — the softgel includes soybean oil and soy lecithin. If you have a soy allergy, this isn't for you.
