Would 7-Keto DHEA have the same physiological effects as DHEA specifically regarding longer sleep duration and being a cortisol antagonist?

Also, would you get the other benefits of DHEA from 7-keto i.e. it's antidepressant/anti-anxiety effects, etc.

I have been using normal DHEA (physiological dose, 25 mg in the morning) with positive results on my DHEA-S and overall hormonal balance also using other supplements (was deficient on DHEA-S). I am testing 7-keto as it supposedly (I saw conflicting reports on this though) does not converting to testosterone/estrogen and will check in my next blood test panel in about a month how to compare with normal DHEA. My target would be to keep DHEA-S normalized with a good balance DHEA/Cortisol but w/o too much effect on estrogen conversion (and to a less extent testosterone) due to moderate BPH due to aging (56). I might convert back to normal DHEA after next tests.

Have you considered stacking DHEA with Stinging nettle root extract, also might try add a anti estrogen(clomid etc) - I also think DAA will increase your results.

Good luck, hope this tidbit helps you.
