Produced primarily in the adrenal glands, pregnenolone is the precursor to all steroidal hormones, notably testosterone, progesterone, cortisol, estrogens, and DHEA. While produced naturally in the body, it is often taken as a supplement in adrenal fatigue and anti-aging protocols.
Pregnenolone has numerous health benefits such as enhancing memory and managing stress-related fatigue. When the adrenal glands are tired, pregnenolone levels drop, which can lead to a decline in most of the hormones that maintain your health.
