7-KETO® DHEA is a naturally occurring metabolite of DHEA providing the same benefits of DHEA without its associated side effects.  Because the body's production of DHEA declines with age, so does the production of 7-KETO®.  Weight gain is a common sign of aging that often accompanies the decreased production of DHEA and it's metabolites. Supplementation with NOW® 7-Keto® can safely promote thermogenesis, thereby supporting the maintenance of healthy body weight./P>
