hello sifo, i got this info from 1fast,
"7-KETO DHEA, a safe and natural metabolite of DHEA, was the subject of research for over a decade at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Of over 150 DHEA compounds tested, 7-KETO™ proved to be the most promising form. Researchers discovered that 7-KETO™ does not convert to testosterone or estrogen, minimizing androgenic activity, and supports various physiological processes. It is several times more potent than DHEA in stimulating the thermogenic enzymes of the liver, promotes basal metabolism, and helps to increase the lean/adipose ratio. These actions safely support a leaner BMI (Body Mass Index) and healthy weight control. In a double-blind study involving 30 overweight adults, 7-KETO supported healthy body composition and BMI when combined with exercise. Other patented applications include enhancing healthy immune function and supporting memory and cognitive processes in animal studies. 7-KETO DHEA is also known as DHEA-Acetate-7-one, 3-acetoxy-androst-5-ene-7,17-dione, or 3-acetyl-7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone.
7-KETO DHEA is a versatile, patented DHEA metabolite providing metabolic, immune and memory support without converting to the sex hormones testosterone or estrogen.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Research has shown 7-Keto DHEA increases thermogenic enzyme activity and supports healthy thyroid function. Increases in thermogenic enzyme activity may increase body metabolic rate and promote weight loss without affecting caloric intake. 7-Keto increases triiodothyronine (T3) levels in the body, which are linked to basal (or resting) metabolism. Slight elevation of T3 may in turn result in higher metabolic rates for burning calories. However, 7-Keto does not raise T3 levels outside the normal range, and T3 is different than T4 or TSH, the thyroid hormones measured for medical thyroid hormone level tests. In an eight-week clinical trial, the group taking 7-Keto significantly reduced both body weight and body fat compared to the placebo-controlled group. Participants in both groups also exercised three hours per week and followed a healthy diet. Participants taking 7-Keto had three times the weight loss and fat loss as people in the other group. These participants lost an average of 3.76 pounds at the end of four weeks and 6.34 pounds at the end of eight weeks. In terms of actual body composition changes, people taking 7-Keto lost 0.74% body fat at the end of four weeks and 1.8% body fat at the end of weight weeks. 7-Keto DHEA also elevated T3 levels in study participants, though these levels did not exceed normal ranges.
SAFETY STATS
Unlike DHEA, 7-Keto does not produce clinically significant serum hormone (testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, estradiol, cortisol, or insulin) changes. And during the study, 7-Keto did not produce adverse side effects, which have been known to occur with some other weight loss products.

***this is from the same place, but produced by Now Foods***
"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 its metabolites. Supplementation with NOW® 7-Keto® can safely promote thermogenesis, thereby supplying the maintenance of healthy body weight.*
Serving Size: 1 Capsule
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule 2 to 3 times daily, preferably with meals."
****so it seems that it is pretty safe for women. i think you should give it a try and keep up posted on your rests. before you go on it, take some pre-stats of you body (a before photo too. sdnt worry its not for us, but for you to truely judge yourself) and maybe every 4 weeks take the stats over (and a photo with the same poses). this will help you and us see how your doing. i think i might give this product a go too!
I hope this helped. dont know if anybody else here is using it****
