Pregnenolone (Special Micronized) Powder for Compounding (API)

Pregnenolone powder is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring hormone pregnenolone. It is used in compounding medications as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) due to its ability to be formulated into different dosage forms, such as capsules, creams, gels, and injectables.

What does Special Micronized Mean?

Progesterone USP is a white or creamy white, crystalline powder. It is stable in air. Special micronized Progesterone USP has the smallest particle size distribution of any progesterone in the portfolio to promote better bioavailability, 90% of particles are less than 5 microns and 100% are smaller than 10 microns.

Pregnenolone is often used in combination with other hormones, such as progesterone, to treat menopausal symptoms and hormone imbalances. It is also being studied for its potential use in improving memory and mood, as well as its anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects.

By being special micronized, the powder is finely ground into smaller particles, making it easier to absorb into the body. This aids in its effectiveness as an API and allows it to be more easily incorporated into compounded medications.

Storage Conditions
Store in original container, tightly sealed, protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Controlled room temperature indicates a temperature 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F); that results in a mean kinetic temperature calculated to be not more than 25°C; and that allows for excursions between 15° and 30°C (59° and 86°F) that are experienced in pharmacies, hospitals, and warehouses. Provided the mean kinetic temperature remains in the allowed range, transient spikes up to 40°C (104°F) are permitted as long as they do not exceed 24 hours.
