What natural substance can greatly improve your mood and brain power, give your face an improved appearance, reduce your stress levels, give all your sagging hormone levels a boost, and make you feel “happier”?
Pregenolone can do all of the above and more, however it is widely overlooked by most doctors and even by most anti aging doctors as a therapy to help fight the aging process.
Present in healthy young adults in very high concentrations, pregnenolone is one of our body’s basic defences against the dangerous side effects caused by an imbalance in our natural hormones. In excess, natural cortisone or estrogen can be very dangerous to your organs, but when pregnenolone is present in large amounts, their side effects are reduced.
What Is Pregnenolone?
Pregnenolone is a crucial hormone in your body: it is synthesized from cholesterol in the body and is a precursor for the production of ALL the human steroid hormones, including DHEA, Progesterone, Estrogens, Testosterone, Cortisone, Cortisol and Aldosterone. Since it is not a steroid hormone, just a precursor, it is extremely safe and has very few side effects.
Pregnenolone has a balancing ability to adjust other hormone levels as needed by the body and it can help improve memory, reduce allergies and arthritic inflammation, improve mood and energy and can act as a detoxicant. The body’s own production is reduced with aging, stress, depression, hypothyroidism and toxin exposure.
In the 1940’s pregnenolone was tested in people who were sick or under stress, and it was found to have many positive attributes, however due to the fact that it is not a drug and it cannot be patented, drug companies were not interested in promoting it. Doctors of course being trained at medical schools that are sponsored and funded by drug companies have no exposure to the many health benefits of this natural yet very beneficial substance.Hence pregnenolone has failed to gain the attention it deserves as a health promoting natural substances, with very few if any side effects.
One of the most important effects of aging in men and women is a significant drop in the levels of the very important hormone precursor, pregnenolone. Like DHEA, pregnenolone is naturally manufactured in the body from the very essential cholesterol.Certainly pregnenolone is the major precursor from which all your other natural steroid hormones are made, which is why it is often referred to as the “mother hormone”.
Pregnenolone: The Most Potent Memory
Enhancer?
In animal tests, pregnenolone has been found to be 100 times more effective for memory enhancement that any other steroid, steroid precursor or prescription drug tested. In fact according to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Nov. 6, 1995) pregnenolone is “The most potent memory enhancer yet found”.
Pregnenolone acts as a powerful neurosteroid in the brain, assisting transmission of messages between neurons and strongly influencing learning and memory functions. Therefore it helps you think faster, understand and retain more complex topics, and even speak with greater clarity. Dr. Julis G. Goepp MD wrote in a recent Life Extension article titled “Enhancing Cognitive Function with Pregnenolone”:
“There is strong evidence that pregnenolone levels diminish with advancing age and that restoring these levels may help alleviate deteriorating brain function…This is borne out in research that has demonstrated pregnenolone’s ability to reduce the risk of dementia and improve memory, while also alleviating anxiety and fighting depression…Pregnenolone may play a pivotal role both in laying down memories in the first place, and then preventing their loss by directly protecting the nerve networks that store them! These complementary and versatile actions of pregnenolone are sending shock waves of interest through the scientific community because of the enormous implications for treating all sorts of age-related disorders of memory”
Dr. Goepp also states, “Even more remarkably, from a treatment standpoint, researchers have shown that pregnenolone increases brain levels of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter required for optimal brain function, which becomes deficient in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Acetylcholine is not only vital for thought and memory, it is also involved in controlling sleep cycles, especially the phase of sleep that is associated with memory (called paradoxical sleep or the random eye movement [REM] phase). Scientists have used this knowledge to study the effects of pregnenolone on sleep cycles and discovered that it dramatically increases memory-enhancing sleep. Together with previous findings that pregnenolone increases nerve cell growth (neurogenesis), researchers have concluded that pregnenolone can improve cognitive function in older animals by increasing acetylcholine levels, which stimulate new nerve cell growth in the brain areas most closely associated with memory and learning.”
Feel Happier With Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone has been referred to as the “Happiness Hormone” - it’s mood enhancing qualities are almost legendary. Dr Ray Sahelian MD states in his book, Pregnenolone: Natures Feel-Good Hormone:
“I am 100 percent convinced that taking pregnenolone leads to changes in awareness and alertness. I noticed an improved visual clarity...within an hour of dosing…a mellow, steady, persistent feeling of well-being...had imperceptibly come on...Flowers seemed...brighter and prettier...my attention focused on the architecture of the homes...I started noticing the patterns of the stones, the shapes of the windows, doorways, porticos and other details...the palm trees...appeared Caribbean island-like picturesque. Everything seemed more beautiful and intriguing. I felt a sense of child wonder, that everything was okay. How special and enchanting life could be!”
Dr. William Regelson, a respected pregnenolone expert and author of The Superhormone Promise: Nature’s Antidote to Aging, writes that there appears to be a direct correlation between pregnenolone levels in the human body and emotional well-being. He states, “A recent study conducted by the National Institutes of Mental Health showed that people with clinical depression have lower than normal amounts of pregnenolone in their cerebral spinal fluid (the fluid that literally bathes the brain).” In other words, as pregnenolone levels decline, your emotional well-being can also sink like a stone.
All this research is rather impressive, yet you may think for a substance to have this many dramatic and powerful effects there must be many side effects. In clinical research pregnenolone has proven to be one of the safest and least toxic substances ever tested, with doses of hundreds of milligrams showing no toxicity whatsoever.
Unlike synthetic steroid hormones which can have disastrous side effects, pregnenolone is completely natural and in clinical studies it has been shown to have virtually no side effects when used as directed. There are some precautions however and it is important that you consult with a knowledgeable doctor in this field before using this substance.
