NOW Foods 7-KETO 25mg 90 Veg Capsules

What it is

NOW Foods 7-KETO 25 mg is a dietary supplement supplied as 90 vegetarian capsules in a single bottle. Each capsule carries 25 mg of 7-KETO, and the Supplement Facts panel reports the amount by serving rather than by capsule: 75 mg of 7-KETO (DHEA acetate-7-one) in a three-capsule serving, with 30 servings in the bottle. The front of the bottle identifies the product as "A Dietary Supplement" and carries Vegetarian/Vegan and Non-GMO marks, and a Kosher symbol appears on the label. NOW files it under the heading "General Health" on the bottle itself; on this site it sits with the rest of our Weight Management range.

What's inside

There is one active ingredient, and the panel gives it in full. 7-KETO is a registered trademark of InterHealth Nutraceuticals Inc., and the back label cites U.S. Patent No. 7,199,116 against it. The panel names the compound chemically as DHEA acetate-7-one, a naturally occurring metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone — "DHEA Metabolite" is the descriptor NOW prints on the front of the bottle. Alongside the 75 mg figure the panel carries a double asterisk resolving to "Daily Value not established", which means no reference intake has been set for this compound. That is a labeling convention, not a comment on the quantity.

Three other ingredients are listed on the panel: rice flour, hypromellose (printed as the cellulose capsule) and stearic acid (printed as vegetable source). Those three are the whole of the "Other ingredients" line as it appears on the bottle. The panel assigns no role to any of them, so neither do we — they are transcribed here because the label lists them, and for no other reason.

If the conventions on this panel are unfamiliar, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements publishes a plain-language consumer guide to dietary supplements covering how to read one, and the FDA sets out the rules behind the asterisked structure/function claims printed on this and most other supplement packaging. Labels for thousands of products, including this category, are archived in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database. None of these sources is connected with this product or this store.

Supplement Facts

How to use it

The Suggested Usage printed on the bottle is: take 3 capsules 3 times daily, preferably with food. That is the manufacturer's own direction, and it is the serving the panel is built around — one serving is three capsules, and the bottle holds 30 of them, so following the suggested usage in full works out at about a ten-day supply per bottle.

Storage is also specified on the back label: store in a cool, dry place after opening. One further note appears in the caution block — natural color variation may occur in this product.

Who it's for

This is a supplement for adults only, which the bottle states directly in its caution text. Beyond that, the label makes no distinction by age group or gender, and we are not going to invent one.

The capsule shell is hypromellose, a cellulose material, rather than gelatin, so it suits people who avoid animal-derived capsules. If you are comparing formats across the category, the rest of our Supplements section and the wider Health & Wellness range carry other counts and delivery forms.

Good to know

The caution printed on the bottle reads: for adults only; consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition; keep out of reach of children. Follow it ahead of anything written here.

On allergens, the label states that the product is not manufactured with yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut or sesame ingredients. The same line adds that it is produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens, so cross-contact is not ruled out by that statement — both halves matter if you have a diagnosed allergy.

The back label gives the manufacturer as NOW Foods, 395 S. Glen Ellyn Rd., Bloomingdale, IL 60108, USA, and states the product is made and quality tested in the USA with globally sourced ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many capsules are in the bottle, and how many servings is that?

The bottle holds 90 vegetarian capsules, which the panel divides into 30 servings of three capsules each. The 25 mg on the front of the bottle is the amount in one capsule, while the panel's 75 mg figure is the amount in a full three-capsule serving.

What is the suggested usage for NOW 7-KETO 25 mg?

Take 3 capsules 3 times daily, preferably with food — that is the Suggested Usage printed on the side of the bottle, and it is the only direction the label gives. At that rate a 90-capsule bottle works out at about a ten-day supply.

Are these capsules suitable for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes — the front of the bottle carries a Vegetarian/Vegan mark, and the panel names the shell as a hypromellose (cellulose) capsule rather than gelatin. A Kosher symbol is printed on the label as well, and the front carries a Non-GMO mark.

Does this product contain common allergens?

The label states it is not manufactured with yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut or sesame ingredients. It also states the product is produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens, so cross-contact cannot be excluded on the strength of that line alone.

How is the order packaged for delivery?

Orders ship in plain, unbranded outer packaging. It will not show the Gear Isle name.
