DHEA Keto is a non-hormonal steroid supplement sometimes used to build muscle, burn calories and offset some of the effects of aging. DHEA functions by changing your body's metabolism and your body's ability to build muscle, according to "The DHEA Breakthrough." Bodybuilders and others in the fitness community commonly use this supplement. Scientific research, however, does not support all of DHEA Keta's purported health benefits. You should also speak with a medical professional prior to using any health supplement, including DHEA Keto.
Beginning With DHEA
DHEA Keto is a derivative of DHEA, which the medical community started studying in the mid-1900s. Initially, DHEA showed positive results when used to treat cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, insulin imbalances and other conditions related to aging, according to "DHEA: A Practical Guide." However, studies also found several drawbacks associated with DHEA, eventually leading the National Institute of Aging to issue warnings against using it as a steroid. Consequently, scientists and researchers began looking for compounds or derivatives related to DHEA that would provide the same health benefits without the associated dangers. DHEA Keto is one such derivative.
DHEA Keto and Fitness
The body naturally produces DHEA in the adrenal gland, skin and brain. Additionally, even without supplementation, DHEA is the most abundant steroid in the blood. DHEA increases the ratio of cortisol to testosterone in the body and increases the rate at which calories are burned, according to "DHEA: Unlocking the Secrets to the Fountain of Youth." DHEA Keto accomplishes these same actions when activating thermogenic enzymes. Thermogenic enzymes lower the body's tendency to store fat when not engaging in activity.
DHEA Keto and Aging
Manufacturers of DHEA Keto claim this supplement has anti-aging properties. DHEA production increases until approximately age 20, according to "DHEA: The Ultimate Rejuvenating Hormone." After 20 years, DHEA stabilizes for approximately 10 years before starting to decline. Further, as you age and DHEA levels decline so does the immune system, leaving you vulnerable to a range of illnesses. However, supplementation with DHEA Keto can reverse this trend when improving your immune system, according to "DHEA: The Ultimate Rejuvenating Hormone."
Avoiding the Dangers of DHEA
Several adverse side effects are associated with DHEA. While the supplement is non-hormonal, it does increase the levels of testosterone and estrogen. This increase may also increase the likelihood of developing breast and prostate cancer, according to "DHEA: A Practical Guide." DHEA Keto purports to avoid the hormonal side effects of DHEA by not inducing the same hormonal production side effects as DHEA. However, further research is needed to confirm that DHEA Keto indeed has no hormonal side effects.
