When pregenolone is taken on its own 100mg is probably OK. However, in combination with DHEA its conversion into all pathways is inhibited except the progesterone -> aldosterone pathway. So taking 100mg pregnenolone with DHEA may end up raising aldosterone and this blood pressure, which is something you don't want. So, pregnenolone and DHEA combination is quite different in effects from taking pregnenolone alone.
Also, we did some tests with volunteer and for virtually all of them anything more than 10mg of pregnenolone combined with 5mg DHEA made them feel jittery. The 1:1 gave everybody a feeling of calmness and energy, plus it made the males get pumped up muscles and women shiny skin
Can you go into further detail regarding the possibility of raising aldosterone by taking pregnenolone and DHEA ? Pregnenolone increases progesterone, and progesterone has anti-aldosterone effects. The only reason I see aldosterone rising is if you take too much DHEA or take it within the wrong hormonal context due to estrogen.
