7-OH Lean Xtreme - Natural or Not?

ironx · 04-09-2008, 02:17 AM

Hi there

Does anybody knows whter 7-OH is allowed in the below various NATURAL BB organisations?

I've used the old Lean Xtreme containing 7-OH only back in June 2005. I am looking to compete naturally soon and would like some clarification from DS or anybody who can help?

I understand 7-OH is still a pretty new chemical but it converts only to 7-OXO/7-Keto DHEA.

1. INBA- Drugs not allowed as per
wada-ama.org/rtecontent/document/2008_List_En.pdf
Ive emailed INBA (australia) but they could not give me a definite answer, saying only the supp company can confirm. Above link to the WADA prohibited list of drugs. It lists DHEA and certain metabolites (?). Now i am not familiar with chemicals at all. Can anyone please enlighten me whether 7-OH/7-OXO/7-Keto DHEA is explicitly banned by WADA?

2. WNBF
WNBF is a little different and they have EXPLICITLY cleared 7-OXO/7-Keto DHEA for use for their competitors. However does anybody knows if there is still any problem since 7-OH is NOT exactly 7-OXO/7-Keto DHEA?

My biggest worry is failing the polygraph test. I'm very confident of passing urine/blood test since I have never consumed any gray area supplements or drugs other than ephedrine and lean xtreme way back in 2005. It would suck to do the polygraph with a nervous state of mind, knowing in the back of my mind that I've taken possibly QUESTIONABLE substance like 7-OH.

Appreciate all help and comments, thanks!

II have contacted the WNBF and it is banned, although it shouldn't be as it does not convert to androgens/estrogens in the body.

I would imagine at some point, they will have to allow it, once more literature comes out on it. They allow 7-oxo and 7-OH merely converts between the alpha/beta isomers of itself and 7-oxo, which is legal.
