Re: Pregnenolone

i certainly am no expert on it...........

from what i have read, it is a prohormone that can go many
ways........one way is testosterone, thereby increasing libido,
lowering hdl, acne, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, etc..........low
doses may have some opposite effects (ie 1mg)

many doses online are way too high supposedly.

some say to consult a practitioner and consider only 1mg to 5mg for
short periods of time, to be tapered off............

it may have made some mice smarter............

source naturals makes a 10mg tablet that i guess could be cut in
quarters, and douglas labs makes a 5mg sublingual tablet that could
probly simply be cut in half or quarters for even better
control...........

but i dont think i could recommend this stuff............my experience
with hormones is that they can have many untoward effects, and this
being a prohormone, it is difficult to say what paths may be
chosen..........
