Pregnenolone is the precursor for the production of human hormones such as progesterone, DHEA and estrogen. Pregnenolone is not itself a hormone but is the building block for hormone production. Pregnenolone is a metabolite of cholesterol and is naturally found in the body. Pregnenolone supplementation improves mood, and has a mild anti-depressant effect. This can be important when dieting. There is a clear connection between mood, depression, eating and weight gain. Supplementation with Pregnenolone can help to counteract the depression and mood swings which can accompany a reduced calorie diet plan.
