I have been taking Pregnenolone supp for sometime, but I just realized a couple of weeks a go that I may have done it all wrong, I was taking it with food! as I thought since it is an hormone would be OK, I found some posting from Gene Devine, and other online, recommending to taking it on empty stomach, well not sure if it is placebo but now I feel it,
I experimented with it at night, I feel getting a good night sleep from it, but for some reason I feel my brain doesn't stop working, I feel rested but it is like I didn't sleep, weird feeling, so I decided, a probably better option, to take it upon raising 30mn before breakfast, at that time I'm taking also my L-glutamine, Citrulline and NAC,
is Pregnenolone slow/block the absorption of aminoacid in the blood?
 
I try to take all my oral supps on an empty stomach, I just think that that's the best course. Except for zinc...really upsets my stomach for a short-while when empty.
 
Vitamins along with minerals fish oil should be taken with food to avoid upset stomach and enhanced absorption, amino acid must be taken on empty stomach for sure, not sure hormones like Pregnenolone or melatonin, probably best empty stomach as well

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
