Pregnenolone (Milled) Powder for Compounding (API)

Pregnenolone (Micronized) 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.

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 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.

Pregnenolone (Micronized) is a naturally occurring steroid hormone produced by the body from cholesterol. It plays a vital role in the production of other hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol.
Pregnenolone (Micronized) is used as a supplement to treat a range of conditions, including memory and cognitive disorders, depression, fatigue, and anxiety. It is also believed to have anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties, and some people use it for enhancing athletic performance and improving overall energy levels.

Some studies have shown that Pregnenolone supplementation may help improve memory and cognitive function in older adults. It is believed to work by increasing levels of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as acetylcholine and dopamine, which are important for memory and learning.

Additionally, Pregnenolone (Micronized) is sometimes used as a support for adrenal function and to alleviate symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and mood swings.

It is important to note that Pregnenolone (Micronized) should not be used as a substitute for prescribed medications and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

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.
