A member asked:
Okay i will ask the doc but have any of you docs personally ever known an 18 year old prescribed the supplement pregnanelone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but some might..: Pregnenolone is a precursor to many steroids, including cortisol, sex hormones, and dhea. If your measured levels of pituitary and adrenal function imply that you are deficient, this would be a way to help. Avoid use for "adrenal fatigue", which is debated heavily, and is purported to cause nervousness, irritability, depression, dizziness, poor memory, fatigue, and many other symptoms.
