Pregnenolone is synthesized in the body from cholesterol and is the precursor for all the steroid hormones, including progesterone, aldosterone, cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), testosterone, and estrogens. The endogenous production of Pregnenolone begins to decline after age 35. Supplementation with Pregnenolone helps support mood, well-being, memory and immune function. It has been suggested this hormone may play a role in the neuroendocrine response to stress.
