Pregnenolone
has been called "the grandmother of all steroidal hormones." The
body manufactures it from cholesterol, and then uses it to make
testosterone, cortisone, progesterone, estrogen, DHEA, androstenedione,
aldosterone, and all other hormones in the "steroid" family.
One reason
given for using pregnenolone is that the level of many of these
hormones declines with age. By taking pregnenolone supplements,
proponents say, you can keep all your hormones at youthful levels.
Pregnenolone
may help play a role in:
- Improved
memory
- Improved
mood
- Improved
energy levels
- PMS relief
- Menopause
relief
- Hormone
replacement

reduction
- Immunity

other conditions.
Pregnenolone
can easily be converted into DHEA which in turn is converted into
androgens, estrogens, and other steroids. Pregnenolone has the
ability to form other hormones such as progesterone.
Pregnenolone production like DHEA declines with age. It is estimated
that Pregnenolone production is 50-60 percent less at age 75 than
35.
