Pregnenolone

Because Pregnenolone is the precursor to both DHEA and progesterone, it is nicknamed the "Grandmother Hormone." Recognized for its tremendous memory enhancing properties, pregnenolone may also improve sleep, lower anxiety and stress, decrease pain in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and promote nerve recovery in spinal cord injuries. For better absorption, MedQuest’s Pregnenolone is micronized.

Pregnenolone is a hormone that is essential for the proper functioning of all our mental functions. And, with age, pregnenolone declines dramatically, leading to the degrading effects of aging. Pregnenolone is the precursor of all natural steroid hormones including cortisone, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, and others, giving it a wide variety of health benefits. Pregnenolone appears to help the brain to function under stress. The body is under constant physiological stress due to mental and physical exertion and environmental exposure. Even at rest, our body is working, metabolizing, catabolizing, cells are multiplying and working to service the body's needs. Pregnenolone supplementation has been a successful treatment for age-stress induced conditions, such as arthritis pain. Studies suggest that pregnenolone also can strengthen the heart, boost the immune system, improve memory and mood, help control stress, and fight fatigue. It is essential to full brain function and is currently in clinical trials as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Pregnenolone may be an ideal supplement for your dietary regimen. If you are uncertain about your needs, talk to your doctor today.
