Produced by the body's adrenal glands, pregnenolone is a direct precursor of both DHEA and progesterone. Pregnenolone is the building block for all other hormones. Pregnenolone levels dramatically drop after age 30 and may, according to researchers, adversely affect mental function, mood and energy levels. Research indicates that restoration of pregnenolone to levels of healthy young adults may have dramatic positive effects on memory, mood and energy.
Recommended dosage: Take once in the morning to mimic the body's normal rhythm, 10 mg to 100 mg daily.
About Pregnenolone
Can pregnenolone be taken with estrogen?
Yes, since pregnenolone is a direct precursor of DHEA and progesterone, it may help balance your hormones and reduce your requirements for traditional hormone replacement.
What happens to pregnenolone levels as I grow older?
Ptegnenolone levels (like DHEA) drop significantly with age. Since pregnenolone appears to have a number of beneficial effects of its own (cognitive enhancement, mood elevation, arthritis relief), it's logical to replace it as we age.
How much should I take?
Current recommendations for dosages are in the range of 10 - 100 mg per day. It's best to take pregnenolone at night or first thing in the morning. Under a physician's care, higher doses of pregnenolone are used experimentally to treat rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease.
