So this is my second day recently experimenting with pregnenolone. I got what felt like a classic stress response, even a couple heart palpitations. I think my dosage was about 50 mg this time, yesterday more like 20 mg.
Today the stress response was a little more pronounced. Now the stress has worn off a little but I am not getting any beneficial response.
I found this quite odd given that ray said he took doses of up to 1000 mg for a full year with zero negative effects. He says if the body doesn't need it, it simply won't use it. Whenever I asked ray about my negative effects from pregnenolone, he said it could be from estrogens as impurities in the manufacturing process.
I found that hard to believe... seriously, applying occam's razor to the fact that people have had negative experiences with almost every brand on the market, it seems like a conspiracy theory to attribute it to estrogens... Especially since ray says that pregnenolone is protective against estrogens, and so is progesterone, which it partially metabolizes into.
but...
this is health natura's pregnenolone. they have a coa which says it's 99% pure, but the other 1% could be diosgenin, as it is made from wild yam and i think they say the impurity is wild yam but it could really be diosgenin?
Diosgenin has been found to be estrogenic in some studies, but it seems a little too equivocal to explain the effects in pregnenolone. I'll explain further when I get a burst of energy.
