CAUTIONS
None. It hasn't shown any side-effects so far but obviously, pregnant or nursing mothers should consult their physician. Studies suggests that 7-keto does not convert to testosterone or estradiol, as can DHEA. However, no research to date has evaluated 7-keto's effect on hormonally dependent conditions such as prostate cancer.
