User Reviews for pregnenolone

using for the first time

I started taking DHEA when trying to recover from CFS. My hormones were very low, so I started taking this to boost Testosterone levels. I took it off and on for this reason. Later, after reading a Japanese study on ME/CFS about excitotoxocity in this disease which stated that several substances including DHEA and Pregnenolone were agonists that could clear NMDA receptors from being turned on by Glutamate, I started taking 75 mg per day with 100 mg of pregnenolone. After a month of this (and after many prior months of taking about half of that, I saw marked improvement in my brain feeling awake and suddenly not under pressure anymore. I think this not only cleared my brain of the ADD feeling it had and also cleared the inflammation in my midbrain that was messing up my circadian rhythm, etc.

First week only, but I am impressed with the results I get from my workouts

On a quest to fight my APOE4 (homozygous)â??s drag into Alzheimerâ??s I did a lot of reading and learned about this prehormone. I have a lot of chronic stress and thought this could help what I thought was adrenal fatigue I was feeling. 10 mg daily started helping, Iâ??m feeling a little more energized. A month later I go for checkup, my Dr. ordered up a blood level and Iâ??m actually, after a month on it, under the normal limit (wow,) and way under the recommended level to help with brain health. So Iâ??m seeing if 20 mg a day helps more without any negative side effects. I have naturally low cholesterol so I wonder if thatâ??s part of that (hormone is made from cholesterol).

I am a 76 year old healthy male who has been using about 12 mg (50 mg cut tablets) daily for over 20 years. It has seems to increase energy and libido with on/on trials.
