Haidut mentioned how to purify pregnenolone here at about the 1hr 12min mark.
I messed up trying to do this and you don't have to. Here is what I did that didn't work out right:
Round 1: I heated 13 grams of Health Natura Pregnenolone in isopropyl alcohol in a beaker on a hot plate with magnetic stir bar. It got to about 115F and I shut if off and let settle, then poured off the alcohol. Quite a bit of the pregnenolone was retained. I poured the alcohol into a dirty jar I had laying around, thinking it was trash. Turns out a lot of pregnenolone was in this after I saw it crystalize later.
Round 2: I did this again and all of the pregnenolone dissolved into the alcohol. Not good. I am currently just letting the alcohol evaporate.
I think I went way overboard with heating too much and stirring too much. I think I would have been fine if I just warmed it and hand stirred it.
I went back and listened to Georgi and he said "heat it up a little bit and stir".
I have no idea if the molecular structure is now ruined because it all dissolved and now it will crystalize out of the alcohol. I have no concept of molecular structure and am a total amateur. If anyone has any comments please share. Success stories? please share. Thanks.
