Pregnenolone is a precursor to a variety of hormones, including DHEA, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol.  Pregnenolone is found in high levels in the brain where it may have neuroprotective properties.  It may support healthy cognitive function, memory, and motivation.  This formula features a delayed-release tablet that provides a slow release of pregnenolone.  This slow release eliminates the spikes and surges that occur with capsules and can cause negative effects.‡
