Pregnenolone is a naturally occurring hormone produced primarily in the adrenal glands and brain. It serves as a precursor to several other hormones, including progesterone, DHEA, and cortisol. The form used in this formulation is synthesized from plant sources and is bioidentical, meaning it is structurally identical to the pregnenolone produced in the human body. Pregnenolone has been studied in the context of hormone regulation, cognitive health, and neurosteroid activity. This ingredient can be compounded into various dosage forms,including capsules, creams, and troches, with strengths tailored to meet individual needs.
