Pregnenolone works with your body to achieve optimal health and
longevity and is one of the most important hormones in the human body. Pregnenolone
helps reduce fatigue and increase endurance as well as providing the brain with
the hormonal and neurotransmitter support it needs to retard memory loss.
Pregnenolone is often referred to as the grandparent precursor
to steroid hormones in mammals. Pregnenolone is synthesized from
cholesterol in the mitochondria of adrenal glands.Pregnenolone is also
made to a lesser extent in the brain, liver, skin, testes and ovaries.
Once synthesized, pregnenolone is released from the mitochondria into
the cytosol where it can be converted to DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone)
or to progesterone. DHEA serves as a precursor compound to the androgens
and the estrogens through androstenedione as the intermediate compound.
Progesterone is the precursor to cortisol, aldosterone,
androstenedione, estrogen, and testosterone.Pregnenolone may also be
secreted directly into the blood where it circulates primarily as the
sulfated form. Pregnenolone has many actions of its own not attributable
to its conversion to progesterone or to DHEA. Recent studies show that
pregnenolone is important for the function of brain, nervous tissue,
liver, pancreas, reproductive tissues, pituitary and skin. Pregnenolone
is found in higher concentrations in the central nervous system compared
to the peripheral tissues which may reflect its importance in brain
function. As with many hormones, pregnenolone production declines with
age. It is estimated that pregnenolone production is about 60% less at
age 75 than at age 35. Pregnenolone levels may also decline under
various conditions of physiological stress, such as acute and chronic
infections and trauma.
Pregnenolone is the building block for all other steroid hormones. It may also provide supportive anti-stress benefits.
Pregnenolone
levels dramatically drop after age 30. Research indicates that
restoration of pregnenolone to levels of healthy young adults may
provide support for memory, mood and energy.
