Pregnenolone supplementation

I recently got some pregnenolone (100 mg tabs). How should I take it, what's the dosage, how long to run? Thanks!

Do you need it?

I'm not sure, I have a lot of symptoms listed.
Just one question: can it raise free test, because when I checked I was at lower position. And over - counter products are the only gear that are available for me to try to increase testoterone.

Well, preg is a precursor hormone. It basically comes from cholesterol and is a precursor hormone to other downstream hormones like dhea, etc. It can have many positive benefits "if" you need it and are low. Will it raise free test?, probably not. Your best bet for raising free T would be to optimize your vitamin D levels and live a healthy lifestyle. D over time can reduce SHBG which binds testosterone . Less SHBG = more FT. To low of an SHBG level can lead to issues though.

My labs showed Pregnenolone and DHEA low so she put me on 20mg and 25mg a day. Its supposed to help cognition, mood and a plethora of other things. It's cheap and over the counter. I can't say it made me feel any better than I did before but she likes to see my labs all in range.

If you do supplement with it your best bet is a micronized product for optimum absorption.

The product I ordered is said to be micronized and sustained release. This is the second time I ordered the same gear: I previously took it last winter. Well, I think this one I got has better quality. I took 1 tablet this morning with a cup of strong coffee and I have to say I feel a lot of better!
