##PREGNENOLONE, A FRUIT OF CHOLESTEROL-Mother of Progesterone & D.H.E.A.
-The following information comes from Dr. Ray Peat, who has done pioneering research on the anti-aging steroids, pregnenolone, progesterone and DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone). I have included excerpts from his writings plus the results of interviews. Research references are provided when available, but in many cases, I could only describe the group of researchers who did the experiment. My purpose for this article is not to start a riot but to illustrate why I think it¡¯s dangerous to artificially inhibit cholesterol formation in your body with drugs and synthetic foods.
-Dr. Peat accidentally discovered the effects of pregnenolone when he took some vitamin E containing a residue of pregnenolone that was left over from an experiment in solubility. Peat had been suffering from a variety of complaints, including "inflammation of the arteries, dental abscesses, asthma, migraines, and colitis." When he took the vitamin E containing some pregnenolone in the vitamin E, he crawled out of his sick bed, took a pinch of pure pregnenolone and felt immediately better. All of his symptoms gradually disappeared and in ten weeks, his appearance changed. Many aging characteristics, such as sagging skin, "chicken neck," bags under the eyes, etc. receded.
-These changes were dramatically reported in a passport photo, taken one year before pregnenolone and another one taken 10 weeks after pregnenolone therapy was initiated. I regret that the original photos are not available for inclusion here. When I saw this photo, presented in one of his newsletters, I fell off my chair, dashed to the phone and called Dr. Peat. The results of many interviews are summarized below.
-Pregnenolone is a steroid precursor (starter material). It is made in the body from the bad-rap guy, cholesterol. Naturally, to get pregnenolone, we need adequate amounts of cholesterol plus other nutrients, including vitamin A, thyroid hormone and enzymes. If any of these are inadequate, you will have a less than desired supply of pregnenolone.
-In a healthy person, the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone occurs inside the mitochondria, nicknamed the lungs of the cell because of their role in cell respiration. Once produced, pregnenolone leaves the mitochondria, so it cannot inhibit its own synthesis. In fact, both progesterone and pregnenolone stimulate their own synthesis so that if you take them, the body¡¯s ability to synthesize them is not suppressed. Sometimes short-term therapy restores the body¡¯s ability to produce adequate amounts, although Peat says that this is not as clearly established with pregnenolone as in the case of progesterone. On the other hand, synthetic progesterone has an inhibiting effect on in-vivo synthesis plus many other toxic side effects not observed with natural progesterone.
-In the cytoplasm, enzymes convert pregnenolone into either progesterone or DHEA, depending on the tissue and the need. Peat calls pregnenolone, progesterone and DHEA "brain steroids" since the brain contains higher concentrations of them than other organs or the blood. Because the brain concentration decreases from its peak value at around age thirty to 5% of peak value at 90, the need for supplemental pregnenolone may increase as we age. In fact, the older and/or sicker you are, the more likely you are to feel an effect from pregnenolone.
-Progesterone and DHEA are the precursors for more specialized steroid hormones, including cortisol, aldosterone, estrogen and testosterone. Taking progesterone will not increase the level of these hormones. In fact, progesterone opposes their toxic effects. Peat says that "the formation of these hormones is tightly regulated, so that taking the precursor of one will correct a deficiency . . . but will not create an excess." However in young men, taking excess progesterone can decrease testosterone production and lead to decreased libido, so pregnenolone is preferred over progesterone for young males. The inhibitory effect on testosterone has not been observed in older men, especially those who are ill.
-Because pregnenolone converts to progesterone and DHEA, its effects will parallel those of the latter hormones. It is more beneficial to take pregnenolone for certain conditions and progesterone for others but, in general, there is an overlap in their effects.
-Peat says that whereas progesterone is strong medicine, just like thyroid or insulin, pregnenolone is an anti-aging food supplement such as a vitamin. Because of this, pregnenolone does not act as dramatically in a crisis, such as a seizure, as does progesterone.


###EFFECTS of PREGNENOLONE:
-#REPAIR OF ENZYMES: Pregnenolone apparently has the ability to repair enzyme activity. For example, in a Russian research study, adding pregnenolone to a mitochondrial suspension increased the enzyme activity. Which enzyme The enzyme which converts cholesterol into pregnenolone (one in the P-450 system). Other enzymes in the P-450 system vital to certain detoxification processes are also stabilized by pregnenolone.
-Peat says, "¡¦steroids, including cholesterol, have an anti-toxic effect. The cytochrome P-450 family of enzymes is an important factor in our resistance to toxins. Moderate amounts of cortisol promote this system, but larger amounts degrade it. Pregnenolone doesn¡¯t affect the rate of synthesis of these enzymes, but it stabilizes them against the normal proteolytic enzymes, increasing their activity. I believe this stabilizing action is a general feature of these steroids¡¦"
-#MEMORY REPAIR: In a short article in The Sacramento Bee (Tuesday, March 3, 1992) I read that Pregnenolone may help restore impaired memory, according to neurobiologist Eugene Roberts of the City of Hope Medical Center in Los Angeles, and his colleague, biologist James F. Morely, of the St. Louis VA Medical Center. These researchers tested pregnenolone and other steroids on mice. They found that pregnenolone is several hundred times more potent than any other memory enhancer that has been tested before is. Their report, in the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences (March 1992), says that pregnenolone was used in the late 1940¡¯s to treat rheumatoid arthritis, and quite successfully, but fell into disuse when cortisone was discovered. But, Roberts adds, pregnenolone was never found to have adverse side effects whereas the toxic effects of cortisone are many and severe.
-#PROTECTION FROM CORTISONE TOXICITY: The classic effects of toxic levels of cortisol include daytime euphoria, insomnia plus hot flashes at night, osteoporosis, brain aging, atrophy of the skin plus other signs of premature aging and adrenal atrophy (shrinking). Two injections of cortisone can destroy the beta cells of diabetes in people as well.
-Peat reports that pregnenolone can be used to withdraw from cortisone therapy over a one month period without developing "Addison¡¯s" disease symptoms (from adrenal atrophy), because of its normalizing effects on the adrenal gland. In female patients, progesterone therapy may also be indicated.
-Reduced exophthalmia in Graves¡¯ disease patients: In the 1950¡¯s pregnenolone was tested on patients with exophthalmis (bulging eyes) from Graves¡¯ disease. It was reported that their eyes quickly receded to a more normal position in their sockets. Peat gave pregnenolone to a desperate woman with seriously bulging eyes. The next day she phoned him and said her eyes were completely normal.


##The Brain's Super Hormone!
-Pregnenolone or preg is the most potent memory enhancer ever discovered.
-pregnenolone enhances our mental performance, facilitates learning, helps us adapt to stress, increases our feeling of well being and actually makes us happier and more appreciative of life.
-Pregnenolone enhances Memory and Mental Acuity,Naturally Reduces Stress and Relieves Mental Fatigue. Improves Concentration and Learning.


###What is pregnenolone
-Pregnenolone is the parent of all hormones. All other sex hormones arederived from it, including DHEA. It is the super hormone of our brain.The brain and the adrenal cortex produce it and levels decrease as we age. By age 75 we produce only about 40% of our youthful levels.
-Pregnenolone or "preg" is the most potent memory enhancer ever discovered. Preg enhances our mental performance, facilitates learning, helps us adapt to stress, increases our feeling of well being and actually makes us happier and more appreciative of life. Preg improves concentration, prevents mental fatigue, increases productivity and improves psychomotor performance. It helps prevent depression. Preg simply keeps our brain functioning at peak capacity.
-Preg exists in common medicinal plants such as Angelica, Onidium, Dictamnus andNotoptergium. Both men and women should take two 25mg tablets daily, one in theA.M. and another in the P.M. Higher doses are only justified if one has developed symptoms that require supplementation and should be accompanied by periodic testing.
-It is strongly recommended that long-term pregnenolone supplementation be guided by testing levels at least once per year or, better yet, every 6 months.Young Again provides a simple and inexpensive saliva test for this purpose. Please see the link below.
-Preg has very synergistic effects when taken with DHEA and melatonin,Appetite is significantly decreased and cravings for alcohol, caffeine,nicotine, mind altering drugs and even chocolate are usually decreased as well. The sense of well being is increased and the craving for the aforementioned substances decreased or eliminated. If you are taking these hormone supplements, consider Young Again's Triple Hormone Tablets that combine preg, DHEA and melatonin in one easy to take and economical tablet.
-Even though preg showed great benefits in studies 50 years ago, it has been anignored "orphan" drug with little attention until recently. Natural substances like preg cannot be profitably patented so there is no profit motive for large pharmaceutical companies to conduct studies no matter how promising pregnenolone is. We do know from studies that preg shows tremendous potential in an amazing array of illnesses, especially in combination with DHEA.
-Promising results have been shown "preg" as an alternative for estrogen replacement, menstrual problems, lupus, PMS, post-natal depression,menopause, rheumatism, arthritis, seizures, mood disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, clinical depression, diabetes, MS, immune enhancement, insomnia andsleep disorders, tumor inhibition, fibromyalgia, nerve injuries and anxiety. This is only the tip of the iceberg and many years of research are needed just to start to discover what miracles can be found.
-Pregnenolone has been shown to be safe, non-toxic and without side effects when taken in 100mg doses per day or less. With the astounding results shown over the past 50 years and the incredible potential along with the proven safety of this and other natural hormones, anyone with a comprehensive health and life extension program must include pregnenolone as part of their daily regimen.


###Pregnenolone--edited by Dan Milosevich, C.N.
-When pregnenolone was discovered in the 1930's, researchers at first thought it was an inert substance, because when they gave it to healthy young animals, it had no effect. Further studies in the 30's and 40's showed pregnenolone to be a most promising supplement for preventing and curing stress-related maladies. This indicates an amazing quality of pregnenolone: it does not cause problems when taken even if not needed, but when needed it can quickly and profoundly restore balance to the basic stress chemistry of the body. This is especially important today, as some researchers propose that unrelieved stress is the major contributing factor to chronic illness.
-Before it was pushed aside by the promotion of other hormones such as cortisone and their analogs such as prednisone, pregnenolone was known to have a wide range of beneficial actions for people who were sick or under stress. These included helping arthritic conditions, countering fatigue, and in general improving the quality of life and awareness. Because it occurs naturally, it cannot be patented. We now know that these other patentable chemicals, even though promoted as "wonder drugs", have very bad side effects. For example, synthetic varieties of cortisone can weaken immunity and can cause osteoporosis, diabetes, and rapid aging, with loss of pigment in the skin and hair. Pregnenolone at worst will have no effect - in healthy, unstressed subjects - and in sick or stressed people, will promote the correction of such problems as these. Reputable researchers such as Ray Peat, Ph.D., can find no unbalancing or deleterious effect even with large doses of pregnenolone.
-Although DHEA is the most abundant naturally-occurring hormone in the human body, the real "Mother Hormone" is pregnenolone, not DHEA. The internal synthesis of steroid hormones begins when the body converts cholesterol to pregnenolone, creating the basic hormonal substance. From pregnenolone, there are two major pathways: one toward DHEA and one toward progesterone. The hormones in the progesterone pathway, including aldosterone, cortisol and progesterone itself, are not directly derivable from DHEA. This means that although DHEA can be a remarkable help in the case of DHEA, estrogen, or testosterone deficiency, the truly balancing hormonal substance is pregnenolone. In fact, even when taking DHEA, better results may be obtained by taking pregnenolone as well.
-Pregnenolone levels, like DHEA levels, decline with age. It is present in young people of both sexes at a very high level, in part due to the fact that it is one of our basic defenses against the harmful side effects that an imbalance of even our natural hormones can produce. For instance, when there is an abundance of pregnenolone, the side effects of excessive cortisol or estrogen are prevented or minimized. By the age of 30, men and women typically produce 30 to 50 mg. of pregnenolone a day. Taking pregnenolone does not cause masculinizing effects in women, like high levels of DHEA can, because it is much less likely to increase testosterone levels.
-Recent studies indicate that it may also be the most potent and quick-acting brain nutrient ever found, working in part through its impact on N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in the brain. It blocks the inhibitory amino acids glycine and GABA, helping to balance excitation and inhibition in the central nervous system. As early as the 1940's, human studies demonstrated that it improved performance of ordinary physical and mental tasks, and we now know why: pregnenolone is one of the major hormones in the brain. It is concentrated there, and some of it is produced by certain brain cells. It continues it's basic role even here, protecting brain cells from injury caused by fatigue. It likely has other important roles in the brain which we have yet to discover.
-According to Peat, pregnenolone very quickly helps fatigued, stressed people regain their ability to handle stress, sometimes with a single dose. He has noticed that it can keep acting for as long as a week, and he theorizes that absorption continues along the intestine and "recycles" it in the body. It may even improve the body's ability to produce its own pregnenolone. It also tends to improve function of the thyroid and other glands. It can have a calming effect on the emotions, giving a mood of resilience and an ability to confront challenges. Also, people have noticed that pregnenolone has a "face-lifting" action, produced by improved circulation to the skin, and by an actual contraction of some muscle-like cells in the skin. A similar effect can improve joint mobility in arthritis, tissue elasticity in the lungs, oxygen depletion in emphysema, and even eye conditions, including the bulging eyes of Graves disease.
-The conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone is aided by the presence of sufficient vitamin A, vitamin E, thyroid hormone, copper, and light, and can be blocked by too much estrogen, X-rays, ultraviolet light, unsaturated oils, and iron. From reports we have heard, it seems to be easily absorbed when taken orally. Of the many supplements which are important components of a good health plan, pregnenolone stands out as one of the best. It is a natural nutritional substance that is powerfully beneficial and yet utterly safe. If you are taking any adrenal hormones, you may want to take pregnenolone along with them. If you are still considering taking DHEA or other hormones, consider trying pregnenolone first. As always, we recommend working with your doctor and getting your hormone levels checked first, which can easily be done with a home-based saliva test from Aeron Labs.
