Why isn't Pregnenolone more popular?

Seems to me like one of the few 'wow this works' supplements at a low price range, and the list of benefits and quality of reviews suggests that this should be more prominent, but I hardly hear about it. I am aware there are some slight side effects, but nothing that really concerned me.

Any thoughts on Pregnenolone? A must try? I'm 36, young enough to see a benefit?



Thank you in advance, gentlemen!
 
IMO I think it is because it is not one of those Supps that give you a rush of energy, so people don’t see the overall value in it. It’s more of a sustained energy level and effects.
 
Because it’s the mother hormone. It converts to test, estrogen and cortisol depending on your needs/state
 
Preg is a pretty potent neurosteroid but the problem is the absorbability. Like any exogenous hormone, it can be a good thing if you're deficient in it but unwanted side effects/conversion could possibly arise.
 
several guys using preg to cut back on stims...seems to be pretty effective

Much of Pregnenolone’s benefits are because it is converted in the body to Allopregnenolone, which is like Nature’s benzodiazepine (i.e. Valium, Xanax, Ativan). That is why it can be so effective (and safe!), for treating serious issues such as anxiety, and depression. In fact, Pregnenolone was routinely—and very effectively—employed to treat anxiety, depression, and adrenal insufficiency in the United States in the 1930’s and 40’s....To treat anxiety with oral PREG (hopefully, the Sustained Release version), take right before going to bed at night. We usually start with 30-50mg. IF you are not groggy in the morning, and are still suffering anxiety during the day, try taking a similar dose with breakfast. Some people can only tolerate 10mg, once per day. Others use as much as 300mg per day, in divided doses. Is PREG powerful? I’ve seen people go into a stupor on fairly low doses…don’t drive or operate machinery until you have tried it safely.

i take 100mg at night per my dr for hrt - so if it has acute effect, i not notice it (although I take it actually around 7pm - still nothing noticeable) so its very individual dependent it seems. if it does as above, i wouldn't want it pre-workout, lol!

I recommend using iconic formulations transdermal preg and applying it in the morning.

only if you don't have the benzodiazepene effect, i would say, so test needed. if it is as dr crisler stated (for indiv that are effected that way), it would be like starting day with xanax :-)

When I tried it a while back, the effect varied based on how it was taken. Oral pregnenolone was very calming/sedating. However, sublingual was very stimulating. Never tried transdermal.

Transdermal wasn't exactly stimulating as it was awakening. For me it was like having a full battery with a higher capacity, instead of a regular battery that's just pumping more amps.

Sorry if that doesn't make sense, but the clarity and sense of wellbeing is hard to explain with normal descriptors.

What’s the best brand?

I am suspect to estrogen issues though. Very prone

if estrogen is a worry then I suggest dermacrine-it has both preg and dhea plus a mild anti-aromatase added.

This is exactly my worry when I think about ever experimenting with it for lethargy and anxiety issues I suffer. Ashwaghanda seemed to work , but it also made me feel a bit “off” if that makes sense. I think it actually made my anxiety worse but with the relaxing effects of Ashw, I couldn’t tell. Loved the body composition effects , though.

dermacrine sounds like better option over solo preg for this reason...



do some research, many guys find Invictus very good for anxiety and is also excellent for body composition.


dermacrine is at iconicformulations.com

Invictus is at ironlegion.com


my code THEBIGT will get 25% off at both sites...



good luck!!!

Forgive my stupidity but doesn’t DHEA also increase estrogen

I can’t stand anti-aromatase supplements. Always get the worst side effects

Maybe I’ll give a oral a go

Broadly speaking, I guess the answer is yes. DHEA is often looked at as a precursor hormone, it can be converted into many sex hormones. It won’t necessarily increase estrogen, but it’s similar to taking testosterone. While testosterone itself doesn’t “increase” estrogen, it provides substrate for aromatase, which can of course lead to an increase in estrogen.

I made similar observations.

That sounds pretty good. I'm not sure I completely understand the description but that probably just means I need more awakening/clarity. :)

Ive been taking 5mg of preg right before bed the past couple months and I finally have my sleep back after a couple of years of tossing and turning. It really has turned my life around at 46. I wake feeling great not to mention libido is up amd ive leaned out. I will not go above 5mg. No estrogens sides at all.
