Ingredients explained
Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone is a steroid precursor that the body converts into hormones like DHEA, progesterone, and cortisol, which may influence stress response, energy, and cognitive processes.
Caution: May affect hormone levels; avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding and speak with a healthcare professional if you have hormone-sensitive conditions or take medications.
Vitamin C (as ascorbyl palmitate)
Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports normal enzymatic reactions.
Caution: May cause digestive discomfort in some people at higher intakes; take with food if sensitive.
How they work together
Pregnenolone serves as a hormonal building block, while vitamin C provides antioxidant support that may help protect cells involved in hormone metabolism.
