IMPORTANT: In my opinion, unduly and regrettably, On March 21, 2018, to the detriment of the population, ANVISA banned the import, manufacture, distribution, marketing and handling of Pregnenolone in Brazil, claiming that “there is no scientific evidence of its therapeutic efficacy”. It seems that the hundreds of existing studies with good practical results over the last 50 years were not enough to prevent this absurd measure.
Pregnenolone is a key hormone and the most abundant steroid in the brain.
It has several direct functions of its own, mainly related to the functioning of the brain, memory and muscles/joints, as well as several others. Secondarily, it is from it that the body synthesizes several other crucial hormones, such as DHEA, Progesterone, Testosterone, Cortisol, Aldosterone and Estradiol. In other words, when pregnenolone levels fall too low, hundreds of signs or symptoms can be caused or aggravated.
“We all synthesize between 10 and 50 mg of it a day on average, but its levels start to fall after the age of 30. This is more common and pronounced in chronically stressed people, contraceptive users and people with poor lifestyle habits (https://icaro.med.br/en/15habits/), in general.
What dosage, how to use it, when and for how long to replace it? This can vary from 10 to 500 mg a day and only your doctor can tell you exactly. Only undergo hormone treatment conducted by doctors who are competent and up-to-date on the subject. I explain more here: https://icaro.med.br/hormonios
*Brazilian doctors are not prohibited from prescribing Pregnenolone. We can prescribe it, but from now on you can only get it from someone who can buy it for you abroad. It is not dangerous, when properly indicated and used, and is widely used and sold even on websites and markets abroad.
