WHAT IS IT?
If
DHEA is the "mother hormone," then Pregnenolone is the matriarch of the clan. Although it is not a steroid hormone, it is the precursor (originator of)
DHEA,
progesterone,
estrogen, testosterone, cortisone, and aldosterone. Like
DHEA, Pregnenolone production in the body declines with age.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Pregnenolone has a wide variety of beneficial effects, mostly as a general anti-stress metabolite.
CAUTIONS
Pregnenolone is virtually nontoxic and is safe even at doses of 1000 mg. Women may prefer Pregnenolone to
DHEA as it has fewer potential side-effects. It also more readily converts to
progesterone. Pregnenolone is sometimes called the balancing hormone as it has the power to adjust other hormone levels to a more normal state.
