Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone is biochemically a prohormone. It is made directly from cholesterol within the mitochondria of the adrenal glands and, to a lesser degree, the nervous system, with the help of the cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme, p450scc. Pregnenolone is a precursor to various hormones, such as progesterone, mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, androgens, and estrogens. So it can help the body maintain normal hormone levels, which in turn helps numerous body functions.

I really did my research on pregnenolone, I’m 57. It sounds like an over 40s essential! So eventually taking the plunge and buying this product I was very excited to try it out. I was dubious about taking 100mg so I cut the capsule into 3 for a week, no difference. So then I halved them for a week. No difference I’ve now for 3 weeks been taking the full 100mg and disappointingly No difference, no effect what so ever!

Great for menopause, after having brain fog, joint pain and feeling exhausted all the time which left me feeling pretty miserable and trying many different supplements which did not work for me and cost a fortune I thought I would give these a try, after doing some research on Pregnenolone, I say to anyone who is put off by the list of side effects to not let it stop you from trying them as if you look into them as I did, side effects have been reported by a few people who have taken too higher dose, and side effects pass after stopping them and causes no lasting effect. You can buy lower doses these are 100mg which I have now halved as the full dose was effecting my sleep as in keeping me awake. I take 1st thing in the morning and the 1st morning of taking these I felt the difference, brain fog gone, loads of energy, graving for sugar which I had also went, joint pain and aches were less and I felt like me again, on day 3 now and no joint pain, feeling of wellbeing is great, wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the day. Only down side is as they are capsules and as I have reduced to half dose I have to open them and shake half the powder out, I put in water or juice, other half left in capsule I take following day, be great in tablet form you could cut in half or 50mg tablet. Just have to find right dose for you.

Wow!!! I’m not one for taking pills or vitamins but after feeling constantly aggravated, stressed, and hormonal I thought I’d give these a try. Two days into taking them I was very tearful (unlike me) but by day 3 I felt great and back to my old self before peri menopause. If anyone is going through it I would strongly recommend giving these a try x

Order arrived promptly. Item well packaged.
I ordered this to help with:
———————————-
Severe M.E (Weakness, v poor stamina). Long term use of prescribed morphine (leads to low Testoe and low feeling of wellbeing).
Summary:
————-
It has definitely improved muscle strength, stamina and feelings of wellbeing. However, the change is fairly subtle. Having said that, I have only been on pregnenolone for a few weeks now. Been sick for 15 years, so it will probably take longer to see the full benefits for me, than for someone only sick/run down for a short time.
Will happily continue to take them as long as I can afford them.
Also found Taurine v calming (bulk buy, powder form from tradeingredients dot co dot uk). Melatonin excellent for sleeping (tho need 21mg

Brilliant, as the mother of all hormones it has made me feel more like me!! Following the menopause I was so tired/exhausted depressed this just gives energy back instead of feeling like everyday was a battle to get through!
