Hi Mars.
I tried an OTC progesterone cream from Swanson vitamins for 6 mos. and didn't see a result of any kind. That's why I thought a prescription cream/gel might be more effective. I want to try one for the same reason: post-menopausal face 
Anyone? |

No problem!
Here are some excerpts I found on why you want to take 7-Keto instead of DHEA:

7-Keto: A Better Way To Take DHEA?
....
Also, DHEA may have a dark side. By facilitating internal production of testosterone and estrogen, supplemental DHEA could accelerate the growth of undetected prostate or breast tumors. Studies have shown higher levels of DHEA - and estrogens made from it - in people with breast cancer and endometrial cancer.
Potential Benefits of 7-KETO DHEA
...
According to Henry Lardy, PhD, of the National Academy of Sciences, 7-KETO DHEA offers the potential benefits of DHEA without the risks. 7-KETO DHEA is a natural metabolite, also called conversion product, of DHEA. Once DHEA is converted to the 7-KETO form it can no longer be used to make the sex hormones that present cancer risks.
In preliminary studies on animals, 7-Keto DHEA stimulates the immune system, prevents muscle loss (anti-catabolic), reduces stress, increases the calorie-burning rate by activating thermogenic liver enzymes and improves memory more than DHEA or a placebo.
Is 7-KETO DHEA safe?
...
One 28-day human safety trial has been completed. It confirmed that 7-KETO DHEA does not raise levels of sex or other hormones or affect blood and urine chemistry, at doses of up to 200 mg per day. It cannot convert to estrogens or testosterone, so it cannot promote prostate enlargement or cancer, breast tumors and other sex hormone effects that may occur with DHEA supplementation.
