Pregnenolone has been described as the “Grandmother of all Steroid Hormones,” since all steroid hormones, over 150 of them, are derived from pregnenolone.*

Pregnenolone—or, 3-beta-hydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one—is a natural steroid hormone produced in the body from cholesterol. It has been linked with positive support of the immune system, mood and memory. In the body, Pregnenolone is converted to DHEA and/or progesterone. It is likely that the body will convert pregnenolone appropriately, according to its needs.*
