Would you use pregnenolone?
I would say that I might consider using it. First of all, the world is not a safe place and I do not know what risks are associated with pregnenolone or if there are any side effects at all. Pregnenolone seems to be a very simple compound which is naturally produced in our bodies, so perhaps ingesting more will have no risk? If one were to take too much of something like this it could potentially kill you but I doubt that taking slightly more than usual amounts would cause significant harm.
Secondly, I would say that it is probably something which has some positive effects. We know from research on rats and mice that pregnenolone impacts the function of memory in our brains and also seems to increase mental performance. It is interesting and curious what a hormone can do to the brain but it may not be suitable for humans at all.
The hormone also seems to help with stress and anxiety, which can be seen in mice as well. I am not aware of any study on humans yet but given how similar the functions are between us and other mammals it is likely that pregnenolone will have a positive impact.
When it comes to the benefits of pregnenolone, it is really hard to say what they are. The first thing that people think of when you mention this hormone is memory and how it may help with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. This seems like a reasonable conclusion but there are many other functions which could be influenced by taking more of the hormone.
It could be that the hormone can help with improving sleep or if it has any anti-aging properties. There are many other functions which I am not aware of but there is certainly a lot to learn about pregnenolone and how it may affect us.
I would say it is a bit soon to be taking pregnenolone because there are many unknowns about its impact on humans. It could have some great functions but until we know, I think it would be better for us to not take the risk.
