HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 7-Keto DHEA Metabolite 50 mg by Source Naturals
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 contains one active ingredient: 7-Oxo-DHEA Acetate (a form of 7-keto-DHEA), a metabolite derived from DHEA, a hormone your body makes naturally. The tablet also contains inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, and magnesium stearate — which are standard binders and fillers.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for 7-keto-DHEA isn't 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 your fingers and toes), and aging, but the evidence is insufficient to say whether it works for any of these.
You'd want to talk with your doctor about whether it makes sense to try it.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Short-term use appears generally well tolerated in small studies, but long-term safety isn't well established — we just don't have the data yet. Adverse effects reported in trials include nausea and vertigo (dizziness), though these were uncommon.
One case report describes a dip in red blood cell counts in someone taking it, but it's unclear how serious that was. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because it's a hormone-related supplement and the safety information is too thin.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for this ingredient in our data. Still, because it's a hormone-related supplement, check with your pharmacist before adding it to any 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 might appeal to you if you're exploring natural options for mood, weight, or aging — but the evidence supporting it isn't solid yet. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any medications, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Long-term safety just hasn't been nailed down.

Formula
7-Keto is a naturally occurring metabolite of DHEA, and abundant hormone in human blood. Human clinical trials have shown that 7-Keto increases metabolic rate and therefore, 7-Keto can help with maintenance of healthy weight when taken in conjunction with the healthy diet and exercise plan. As shown in Preclinical Research, 7-Keto is a potent inducer of thermogenic enzymes. 7-Keto is not converted to estrogens or androgens, a point of concern for many people.
