Testosterone destroys natural testosterone production. What about pregnenolone? If I take PREG, it would destroy my own pregnenolone?PLease tell us how you arrived at that question.
Yes, I'm talking about shutdown. Is PREG a supplement? It shutdown my own production?What has your own research indicated? I haven't heard this before. I think you're interpretation of a shutdown they way you're expressing it isn't quite correct; destroys.

I've also wondered this before. For someone not on trt, will taking pregnenolone decrease or even shut down the bodies own production of pregnenolone? I'd be curious as to what effect pregnenolone supplementation has on the body's own production. If you take testosterone, the body shuts down testosterone production. Does pregnenolone work the same way?
