Pregnenalone and Allopregnenalone for HRT in Menopause
« on: October 21, 2024, 06:07:10 PM »
EDIT: I have expanded this since I named it incorrectly.

Pregnenolone, often used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause, has several potential mood and health benefits:

### Mood Benefits

1. **Mood Stabilization**: Pregnenolone is known for its mood-stabilizing effects, which can help alleviate mood swings and irritability commonly experienced during menopause[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://drannacabeca.com/blogs/hormones/how-progesterone-plus-pregnenolone-benefits-your-hormones?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1").

2. **Cognitive Function**: It may improve cognitive function and memory, helping to counteract the brain fog and forgetfulness associated with menopause[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://drannacabeca.com/blogs/hormones/how-progesterone-plus-pregnenolone-benefits-your-hormones?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1").

3. **Stress Reduction**: Pregnenolone can help reduce stress and anxiety by supporting the production of other hormones like cortisol, which helps manage stress responses[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://drannacabeca.com/blogs/hormones/how-progesterone-plus-pregnenolone-benefits-your-hormones?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1").

### Health Benefits

1. **Hormone Balance**: As a precursor to many hormones (including progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone), pregnenolone helps restore hormone balance, which can alleviate symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://drannacabeca.com/blogs/hormones/how-progesterone-plus-pregnenolone-benefits-your-hormones?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1").

2. **Sleep Improvement**: It can improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing insomnia, which is common during menopause[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://drannacabeca.com/blogs/hormones/how-progesterone-plus-pregnenolone-benefits-your-hormones?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1").

3. **Bone Health**: By supporting hormone balance, pregnenolone can help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://www.menopause.org.au/hp/information-sheets/risks-and-benefits-of-mht-hrt?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "2").

Combining pregnenolone with other hormones like progesterone can enhance these benefits, providing a more comprehensive approach to managing menopausal symptoms[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://drannacabeca.com/blogs/hormones/how-progesterone-plus-pregnenolone-benefits-your-hormones?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1").

This steroid may work better as an adjunct therapy so feel free to explore your options - I thought of it while researching male aggression why gay people are so mellow and protective.

FYI ...

👉 It seems like there might be a typo in your query so I assume that you meant
to explore **Pregnenolone** and **Allopregnanolone**:

**Pregnenolone** is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands, gonads, and brain from cholesterol[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://hrtdoctorsgroup.com/understanding-pregnenolone/?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1").

It's often called the "mother of all hormones" because it serves as a precursor to many other hormones, including progesterone, DHEA, testosterone, and estrogen[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://hrtdoctorsgroup.com/understanding-pregnenolone/?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1").

**Allopregnanolone** (also known as brexanolone or Zulresso) is a derivative of pregnenolone[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://cp.care/a-technical-primer-on-over-the-counter-pregnenolone-vs-prescription-allopregnanolone-and-their-use-in-psychiatric-and-pain-disorders/?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "2").

It's a neurosteroid with significant effects on the brain, including antidepressant and anxiolytic properties[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://cp.care/a-technical-primer-on-over-the-counter-pregnenolone-vs-prescription-allopregnanolone-and-their-use-in-psychiatric-and-pain-disorders/?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "2").

It's used in treating conditions like postpartum depression[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://cp.care/a-technical-primer-on-over-the-counter-pregnenolone-vs-prescription-allopregnanolone-and-their-use-in-psychiatric-and-pain-disorders/?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "2").
