[ Introduction ]
7-Keto DHEA Acetate, also known as 3-acetyl-7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone, is a synthetic derivative of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a naturally occurring steroid hormone. Unlike DHEA, it does not convert to testosterone or estrogen, making it suitable for applications targeting metabolic and cognitive benefits without hormonal side effects. It is primarily used in research and pharmaceutical settings for its potential in weight management and memory enhancement.

[ Uses ]
7-Keto DHEA Acetate is utilized as an intermediate in synthesizing progesterone drugs for treating menstrual disorders, functional bleeding, and luteal insufficiency. It is also researched for its ability to inhibit androgen synthesis, potentially aiding in managing hypersexuality or certain cancers. Additionally, it shows promise in enhancing memory in animal models and supporting weight loss by increasing metabolic rate when paired with diet and exercise.
