kettlebell said:Hi BingDing,
I am under a lot of pressure at the moment so right now am doing 100mg twice a day and no negative effects. When I am less under pressure I forget to take it so it becomes a natural cycle.
One dose of approximately 300 mg (the size of an aspirin tablet) keeps acting for about a week, as absorption continues along the intestine, and as it is "recycled" in the body. Part of this long lasting effect is because it improves the body's ability to produce its own pregnenolone. - Ray Peat
I don't think cycling it is necessary as long as you take a dosage that works for you. 40mg twice a day seems to me like a good measure. When I train I take a bigger dose straight before and afterwards too.
As always I would listen to your body - If you are thriving on it keep going, if you start seeing negative effects you could attribute to the Pregnenolone take a break for a few days.

I wonder if the acne is from increased metabolism and vit A requirements which would be fixed by upping the vit A either through food or supplements.

Yep, I was gonna mention that but totally forgot.
Birdie said:I guess that was jyb with the acne. So, it might be worth another try with the pregnenolone. So many benefits there. But I don't know your age. If you are very young, you many not need it like the oldies or sickies here.
Good luck to you whatever you choose. :) Birdie
I'm hypothyroid too. Wish I could remember exactly where I found this larger amount of vit A recommended. I think it was Ray and he is very sensitive to looking out for the thyroid.jyb said:Birdie said:I guess that was jyb with the acne. So, it might be worth another try with the pregnenolone.

Thanks. I don't mind upping to 50,000 IU vit A a day but I'm hypothyroid and I know excess retinol is anti-thyroid so I'm cautious about it.

Are you sure? They say it about all countiies outside USA. But then you order it and they send it.
Even here to Australia (arguably the strictest customs in the world). No issues so far.
