Found some bad stuff.
Possible pregnenolone side effects
Overstimulation and insomnia
Irritability, anger or anxiety
Headaches
Possible scalp hair loss if used daily for prolonged periods. Pregnenolone converts into DHEA, which in turn
converts into testosterone and possibly on to DHT. Pregnenolone can also be converted into progesterone.
Irregularities of heart rhythm, HEART PALPITATIONS, even on as low a dose
Unknown effects on the thyroid gland or other organs and tissues.
Don't know anyone who takes it but the conversion into testosterone is a no, no for m/f and the hair loss, nooooooooooo.
Don't know if that helps. Also don't self prescribe anyway it could be dangerous.
