Symmetry Products with Pregnenolone DHEA: Bio-Infinity, Aphrodisia

Pregnenolone is a naturally-occurring androgen (hormone), a neurosteroid, or "brain steroid" produced by the adrenal glands. Pregnenolone is found in plasma, adrenal glands, liver, skin, gonads and brain tissue and goes into progesterone and other neurosteroids. Formed from cholesterol, pregnenolone has been a focus of interest to scientists ever since its discovery during the 1930s because it occupies some important metabolic pathways where the body "decides' to make progesterone, DHEA, androgen, estrogen, and corticoids including cortisone, the most potent anti-inflammatory. The first studies were done by the great Canadian neuro-endocrinologist and theoretician, Dr. Hans Selye, who is best known for helping to shape current thinking about the body's response to stress. Selye was fascinated with the hormone even before anyone knew how it fit in the steroid hormone family tree and stated, "The compound possesses, at least in traces, every independent main pharmacological action which has hitherto been shown to be exhibited by any steroid hormone."

Pregnenolone would probably be beneficial for both aging men and women and, like DHEA, drops in effectiveness profoundly with age, although age-related "norms" for pregnenolone have not been as clearly established as for DHEA. Pregnenolone is made in the mitochondria, the chemical factory of the cells and in nerve cells.

Pregnenolone appears to have a wide margin of safety and has been used for over three months in doses exceeding 50 mg per day without apparent toxicity. We still have much to learn about the clinical uses of pregnenolone, especially when combined with DHEA.
