Thanks, I'll try progesterone with DHEA next time. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have pregnenolone in the mix as I have Pansterone for the DHEA.In my experience, combining progesterone with a little DHEA has a much more potent effects on improving heart rate than progesterone alone. Also, DHEA was shown to lower blood pressure in several animal studies and this also allows the heart to work with less strain. As most elevated BP is due to stiff vessels, and the stiffness is due to elevated cortisol (and low pregnenolone/progesterone/DHEA) this makes sense. DHEA also has positive inotropic effects on heart and has been proposed as heart failure treatment.

"...Of clinical interest, DHEA stimulates hepatic sulfotransferases, enzymes which sulfate steroids, and this effect may be applicable to sulfation and the solubility of bile acids.6h Effects on cardiac inotropic response suggest that DHEA and its analogs should be looked at in heart failure, as substitutes for or adjuncts to digitalis[67]."
