Pregnenolone has been shown to greatly reduce hot flashes, increase resistance to stress (converts cortisol), increase sexual desire in those women who are low in estrogen due to peri-menopause, and improve mood and energy. Pregnenolone is a powerful memory enhancer and immune stimulant and is anti-inflammatory. Pregnenolone converts to DHEA (it does what DHEA does, but is safer), PROGESTERONE in women and TESTOSTERONE in men without inhibiting one's own production of the hormone. "Preg" is one of the most effective MOOD AND MEMORY enhancers. Pregnenolone should be taken in the morning and early afternoon, before meals. Pregnenolone can make one feel like one's "own self" again. Pregnenolone is the "mother hormone," made directly from cholesterol within the mitochondria. In addition to memory enhancement, a partial list of pregnenolone's diverse benefits include: Complete hormone balance. Does everything DHEA does and more. Unlike DHEA, pregnenolone readily converts into progesterone. Enzyme repair. The cytochrome P-450 enzyme system is stimulated by the addition of pregnenolone. This enzyme system is important in neutralizing cellular toxins. Protection from cortisol/cortisone. Cortisol levels increase with normal aging causing immune impairment, atherosclerosis, and neuronal injury. Pregnenolone protects against adrenal atrophy when withdrawing cortisone therapy. Pregnenolone helps protect against the effects of elevated cortisol including atrophy of the skin, osteoporosis, hot flashes in women and possibly adult-onset diabetes. PREGNENOLONE CAPSULES come in bottles containing 100 50 mg capsules. PRECAUTIONS: Since pregnenolone can naturally convert into DHEA in some people, the precautions we advise for DHEA may apply to pregnenolone. For some people, pregnenolone may elevate DHEA serum levels, thus possibly reducing the need for DHEA supplementation. How to Order To order online, click on the "Order" box below.
