Ingredients explained
Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone serves as a steroid hormone precursor that the body can convert into hormones such as DHEA, progesterone, and others, influencing signalling pathways linked to stress response and cognitive function.
Caution: May influence downstream hormone levels including DHEA, oestrogen and testosterone, so monitor for hormonal effects such as mood or skin changes and avoid exceeding the suggested amount.
Vitamin C (as ascorbyl palmitate)
Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant that can help protect cells from oxidative stress and supports normal enzymatic reactions involved in hormone metabolism.
Caution: May cause mild digestive discomfort in some people if taken on an empty stomach; take with food if sensitive.
How they work together
Pregnenolone provides the raw material for the body’s hormone pathways, while vitamin C offers antioxidant support that may help maintain normal cellular processes involved in hormone metabolism.

Product information
- Dietary Supplement
- 25 mg
Pregnenolone is the starting point from which all steroid hormones are manufactured in our bodies. Its conversion in the body follows different pathways, depending on individual needs. Several clinical studies have demonstrated that pregnenolone may enhance psychomotor performance and decrease fatigue in healthy subjects.
Details
Suggested use
1 tablet 1 to 2 times daily. 1/2 tablet may be sufficient for some people. Do not exceed 50 mg per day. Do not take for more than 30 days. Have your blood hormone (oestrogen, testosterone, DHEA) levels regularly assessed by your physician. Using pregnenolone may elevate your DHEA levels, and DHEA can increase oestrogen and testosterone levels. Read entire label before using.
