MPA Supps VasoSeven: 7-Keto on your Skin

MPA Supps is a brand that makes some impressive products. They are industry leaders in several categories, including their pump formula, CelluVol, as well as with their health support lineup. We have been going through their topical VasoSeries lineup, and we have been thoroughly impressed.

Many companies do not venture into these unorthodox categories of the supplement industry. While they may not be as sexy as a pre-workout or pump formula, MPA Supps has invested lots of time and effort to achieve success here and it has paid off bigtime.

Product Overview

Here we are, bringing you the final in-depth breakdown of the MPA Supps VasoSeries. We have already taken a look at VasoBurn and VasoDry, both of which are top-notch products. VasoSeven is a metabolic product, aiming to increase basal metabolic rate and increase fat-burning capabilities.

Let’s go over the profile, and take a look at why you should consider adding VasoSeven into your supplement stack for contest prep, or even if you’re just trying to develop a nice lean beach body.

Ingredients

MPA Supps includes a complete list of the ingredients included in VasoSeven on the fact panel. While just like with the other products in the VasoSeries, we are not given an “active ingredients” list. However, we have chosen the ingredients in this product that will contribute to the increase in basal metabolic rate (BMR). Several of the ingredients listed on the panel are solely used as solvents or carriers to give the product its clear gel-like qualities, so we have excluded those from our discussion.

We find one main patented ingredient in this formula that works to enhance BMR, 7-Keto®. We will also include two other ingredients in our discussion, Propylene Glycol, and Ethoxydiglycol. Let’s get started.

7-Keto®

3-beta-3-hydroxyandrost-5-ene-7,17-dione is the chemical name for this ingredient, but it simply is referred to as 7-Keto-DHEA. This molecule is derived from DHEA which is produced in the adrenal glands that are situated right on top of each kidney. DHEA is typically converted into the steroid hormones androgen and estrogen by the body, but that is where 7-Keto-DHEA differs. Oral or topical use of this ingredient does not increase nor alter the level of steroid hormones in the body or produced by the body.

So how does Keto-7-DHEA work to help you burn fat? Oral and topical use of this ingredient has been shown to speed up your metabolism, even without exercise or dieting. Another major benefit is that this ingredient activates thermogenesis, which is the process of bodily heat production leading to greater caloric expenditure. Some evidence has also been shown that 7-Keto-DHEA can increase the activity of the thyroid gland, which has total control over your body’s metabolic rate.

One study from 2007 looks at 7-Keto-DHEA and its ability to increase BMR through supplementation alone without dieting or exercise. 40 participants completed the study and the researchers found that 7-Keto-DHEA supplementation allotted for an increase in BMR by almost 4%, which is equivalent to around 118 calories per day. The experimental group outperformed the placebo tremendously, as the placebo group experienced a decrease in BMR throughout the trial period. This trial included 3 separate 7-day trial periods, indicating that 7-Keto-DHEA exhibits surprisingly quick changes in BMR. It was concluded that those who are obese or those with impaired energy expenditure may benefit the most.

Now let’s look at the effect 7-Keto-DHEA has on weight loss when paired alongside exercise and a sound diet regimen. We find a study that uses 7-Keto-DHEA twice daily in 15 individuals while 15 individuals received placebo treatment for a period of 8-weeks. The subjects were all slightly to moderately overweight, but otherwise generally healthy individuals. Each of the 30 participants adhered to 60-minutes of cardiovascular exercise 3 days per week and followed a diet of 1,800 kcal per day. After the trial period ended, the experimental group lost 2.88kg of body mass compared to 0.97kg in the placebo group. The experimental group had a reduction of 1.8% fat mass while the placebo group only 0.57%. It was concluded that 7-Keto-DHEA when paired with exercise and caloric restriction, significantly reduces body weight and fat mass when compared to diet and exercise alone.

7-Keto® makes for a great addition to an already sound diet and exercise regimen. Research seemingly illustrates that 7-Keto® works best for slightly overweight individuals, but leads to an increase in BMR regardless. MPA Supps makes it even easier to use by putting it in a topical gel form enabling you to decide which areas of the body you want to target.

Propylene Glycol

This is an ingredient that doesn’t directly contribute to the fat loss properties of VasoSeven, but it makes 7-Keto-DHEA more effective. Propylene Glycol is a non-toxic substance that is used as a skin hydrating and ingredient delivery agent. It allows the active ingredients in VasoSeven to penetrate the skin more efficiently while leaving the skin more hydrated and contributing to a smoother overall look.

This ingredient is also commonly used in cosmetic products to maintain their integrity at extreme temperatures, mostly to prevent freezing at low temperatures. Therefore, if you accidentally leave VasoSeven in your car overnight during the wintertime, it shouldn’t have a problem withstanding the cold temperatures.

Ethoxydiglycol

Ethoxydiglycol is a common solvent carrier and viscosity reducing agent that is widely used in the cosmetic industry. It is similar to Propylene Glycol by the fact that it greatly enhances dermal penetration of the active ingredients of the product that contains it. This ingredient alongside Propylene Glycol allows VasoSeven to achieve maximum efficiency in promoting fat loss and increasing metabolic rate.

Final Takeaway

Here we have an innovative product that can increase fat loss capabilities by increasing thermogenesis and metabolic rate at the cellular level. 7-Keto-DHEA is a unique ingredient for the simple reason that it has a plethora of evidence showing its ability to promote weight loss even without diet or exercise. Now that is a product worth buying.

VasoSeven is a product that you can use year-round for the best results. It would be a great tool in the wintertime or during your bulking season to keep yourself from getting too sloppy and fluffy. It will make things much easier come time to start dieting if you keep off those extra unnecessary pounds during the winter.

If you are looking for another weapon to add to your fat-loss arsenal, we think this would be a great start. We have seen many success stories from individuals who use VasoSeven daily.
