My gyn says this is a wonderful balancer of hormones

This is my first ever review on Amazon but I just had to get the word out about this product! This supplement has given me so much energy and focus its life changing. I highly recommend this vitamin to anyone looking for some extra energy and focus. Great product!

Honestly, when I first tried it, my energy shot through the roof. I had three times more energy than I have had in 30 years. Unfortunately, it wore off in about two months and I went back to the energy level I had had prior to taking it. I would love to figure out how to make it work again.

Works good

The doctor said it was needed, and we have it on our subscribe and save which means I don't even have to think about ordering more, and I save more money too!!

First pregnenolone is a steroidal hormone manufactured by the body. It is a precursor and synthesized in the adrenal glands, liver, skin,testicles, ovaries and [depending on the sex of the person taking it]. Almost all hormones use this as a precursor, dhea, progesterone, testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol. Its side effects are minimal, you should check on those first. In studies, it has dramatically increased memory, as well as being a "feel good" hormone, studies say,and it is also known to improve mood and reduce stress. According to articles written about this supplement,the pharmaceutical companies would love to patent this, and heavily market it, of course being a natural product, they can't. Life Extension products sold by Amazon are designed to keep the human body working the way it should. This is the only product of theirs that I take, and for me it gives me back some of what age had taken away, I just feel better. I know when I'm feeling good, and if it's because of this product, I'll continue to take it. Since all medication and supplements don't work the same for everyone please check medical and supplemental websites to confirm and verify the statements. It works great for me and I hope it works just as well for you.UPDATE- My wife for years has always been under a lot of stress, like women are today, worrying about so much a lot to do and not enough time, bills to get paid on time, sometimes a job and then dinner at night, take care of the kids etc. and etc.Slowly I first began to notice a little more optimism in her voice and the way she acted, sleeping much better most nights.

I bought this 100mg product and a smaller dosage 5mg product. I took the smaller dosage first with the plan to increase the dosage slowly over time. I experienced unusual insomnia and heart palpitations while taking the 5mg tablets and sought more information about the side effects of taking this product. Since the listing does not include the possible side effects, especially regarding heart related issues, I am offering the information here from a reputable source."Pregnenolone side effects, danger, risk, and the harm it can causeOverstimulation and insomnia -- low doses could be helpful for sleep when taken in the morning.Irritability, anger or anxiety -- low doses could actually ease a person into a relaxed feeling, while higher amounts may lead to irritability.Acne can occur due to the probable conversion of this hormone into androgens.Headaches are possible with high dosages or low dosages used over several days or weeks.Possible scalp hair loss if used daily for prolonged periods. Pregnenolone converts into DHEA, which in turn converts into testosterone and possibly on to DHT. It can also be converted into progesterone.Irregularities of heart rhythm. Heart Palpitations can occur even on as low a dose as 5 mg. This can be serious in the elderly or those with heart rhythm disturbances. We had a report from a woman who felt palpitations from as low as half a 5 mg tablet. If you have heart disease or taking heart medications do not take pregnenolone.Unknown effects on the thyroid gland or other organs and tissues."April 1 2017 by Ray Sahelian, M.D.
