One of the most interesting substances I’ve been studying and experimenting with lately has been pregnenolone. The hormone seems to have a wide range of beneficial effects, which I’ve definitely noticed in myself:
Pregnenolone improves mental function, affects working, short-term and long-term memory, increases motivation to learn new information, and an improvement in the ability to acquire new knowledge: The effects of pregnenolone sulfate and ethylestrenol on retention of a passive avoidance task. - PubMed - NCBI
Pregnenolone increases the level of other neurosteroids such as pregnenolone sulfate and allopregnanolone. Allopregnenalone is shown to increase the growth of neurons, as well as decreases cell death and inflammation: Pregnenolone as a novel therapeutic candidate in schizophrenia: emerging preclinical and clinical evidence. - PubMed - NCBI
Seems to relieve depression and anxiety: Brain distribution and behavioral effects of progesterone and pregnenolone after intranasal or intravenous administration
Improves mood, anti-depressant activity:
Pregnenolone for cognition and mood in dual diagnosis patients. - PubMed - NCBI
Pregnenolone, dehydroepiandrosterone, and schizophrenia: alterations and clinical trials. - PubMed - NCBI
Recommended dosage: 2x100mg (morning/afternoon), may cause sleeplesness, if taken in the evening from personal experience.
Trusted brands of pregnenolone I recommend:
Amazon.com: Life Extension Pregnenolone 100 Mg, 100 capsules: Health & Personal Care
Amazon.com: Pregnenolone - 100 mg, 60 capsules: Health & Personal Care
Recommended books/further reading:

From personal experience, I’d say it’s well worth the money. Induced confidence, ability to focus on top of being a mood brightener in me at higher dosages as well. Will be a permanent in my supplement stack.
Thought your readers might find this interesting. Stay tuned for more posts.
