    Preg: How High Is Too High?

    I've been taking about 1/8 tsp of preg for a while; lately increased it a bit more. Don't feel any different for the increase. I do know that preg was the missing link for me in terms of being able to increase thyroid...that is, until my gut got inflamed and got in the way (temporary, I hope)...

    Supplemental Pregnenolone?

    Peat seems to espouse the value of pregnenolone as a hormone. Is this ever given in natural or synthetic form as a supplement? If not, how does one promote this hormone? Is it something we should be explicitly measuring in a hormone blood panel periodically?

    Measuring Pregnenolone?

    Ray Peat suggests that cholesterol, vitamin A, and T3 are fed to the mitochondria to produce pregnenolone: http://www.functionalps.com/blog/wp-con ... ure-22.png Is there a test - or tests - that will show if we are producing appropriate amounts of pregnenolone? Labcorp shows these tests in...

    Dissolving Pregnenolone Powder -- Am I Doing It Right?

    I have had positive results from using haidut's StressNon mixture of pregnenolone dissolved in vitamin E + olive oil but have recently run out of my last bottle. Since I have a couple of Swanson high-gamma vitamin E bottles and some Carlson E-Gems to use up I figure I might as well try and make...

    Low Cholesterol Ups Cancer Risk - Role Of Pregnenolone

    Ray has written about how "anything that lowers cholesterol will increase the risk of cancer". I did some digging on that and it seems that he is right on the money on this one. Here is a study confirming his view: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 113713.htm "...Low LDL cholesterol in...

    Pregnenolone, Progesterone And Androsterone Are Aromatase Inhibitors

    I have seen some people in the forum claim that they thought pregnenolone increased their estrogen levels. According to this study, pregnenolone should in fact lower estrogen by inhibiting aromatase. Peat has already written extensively on progesterone being a known aromatase inhibitor, so that...

    Caffeine Increases Pregnenolone & Progesterone In The Brain

    As a follow up on my other posts, caffeine is really shaping up to be another Peatarian panacea. At doses achievable in humans with supplementation, caffeine seems to increase the levels of all important steroids in the brain, and in fact this may be the mechanism behind its stimulant effects...

    Pregnenalone Reaction?

    I'm a 41 year old female with a strong suspicion that I have hormonal imbalances. A month ago I purchased pregnenalone and took it while I was battling some hormone/adrenal issues. I don't recall feeling too much and my naturopath talked me out of using this supplement. Today I thought I'd...

    Pregnenolone Likely Effective For Schizophrenia

    I have been following this for some time now. The pharma industry is quickly running out of options for managing drug-resistant schizophrenia so it is turning to therapies from the beginning of the 20th century. Either way, if this makes it through the clinical trials it would be a huge win for...

    A hefty dose of pregnenolone markedly stimulates the thyroid

    Actually, the substance used was pregnenolone carbonitrile (PCN), which is a direct derivative of pregnenolone (I think) and a precursor/parent to progesterone. So, pregnenolone should have similar effect but probably in higher doses, and progesterone could potentially also have such affect...

    Can Women Take Too Little Pregnenolone?

    In a way that's harmful? I ask because apparently if you take too little progesterone and are a woman, you could feel worse, so it's better to start with a high dose. Since pregnenolone is a precursor of progesterone, do women also have to take a high dose at first?

    Confused About Pregnenolone And Cortisol

    I'm confused about whether pregnenolone raises or lowers cortisol, and whether I have high or low cortisol. I've been very fatigued for the past 1 1/2 years. Have tried HC, NDT, and T3, but those didn't help. NDT and T3 make me more tired. My latest cortisol test results are: morning 4.1...
