Pregnenolone is a natural and body produced metabolite made from cholesterol. It is synthesized inside the mitochondria, the tiny "power plants" (up to 1000's per cell) found in each cell.Pregnenolone is the basic precursor, or starting raw material, for the production of ALL the human steroid hormones, including DHEA, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, cortisol and aldosterone, but pregnenolone is not itself steroid hormone. Pregnenolone improves mood,and also improves energy levels by protecting our energy producing mitochondria from toxins, which would otherwise damage the mitochondria. Pregnenolone also enhances the activity of the cytochrome P450 detoxifying enzymes, which help our cells (especially the liver and brain) to detoxify poisons of all sorts, whether from the outside world, or our own metabolically produced toxins.
