Products with Pregnenolone DHEA:
Bio-Infinity, Aphrodisia 136
Pregnenolone
is a naturally-occurring androgen
(hormone), a neurosteroid, or
"brain steroid" produced by the
adrenal glands and found in plasma,
adrenal glands, liver, skin, gonads
and brain tissue and goes into
progesterone and other neurosteroids.
Formed from cholesterol, Pregnenolone
has been a focus of interest to
scientists ever since its discovery
during the 1930's, because it
occupies some important metabolic
pathways where the body "decides'
to make progesterone, DHEA, androgen,
estrogen, and corticoids including
cortisone, the most potent anti-inflammatory.
The first studies were done by
the great Canadian neuro-endocrinologist
and theoretician, Dr. Hans Selye,
who is best known for helping
to shape current thinking about
the body's response to stress.
Selye was fascinated with the
hormone even before anyone knew
how it fit in the steroid hormone
family tree and stated "the compound
possesses, at least in traces,
every independent main pharmacological
action which has hitherto been
shown to be exhibited by any steroid
hormone."
Pregnenolone would probably be
beneficial for both aging men
and women and, like DHEA, drops
in effectiveness profoundly with
age, although age-related "norms"
for Pregnenolone have not been
as clearly established as for
DHEA. Pregnenolone is made in
the mitochondria, the chemical
factory of the cells and in nerve
cells.
Pregnenolone appears to have a
wide margin of safety and has
been used for over 3 months in
doses exceeding 50 mg per day
without apparent toxicity. We
still have much to learn about
the clinical uses and optimum
odes of pregnenolone - especially
when combined with DHEA.
