Proven Pregnenolone supplement to raise out of range level?

[blackebob]

My lab just came back with a mark 0f 9(22-237) for pregnenolone. I would like to be prepared to question my doctor about appropriate action. I supplement Dhea of 35mg a day, and my dhea just came back at 204(70-495). I have read you should not take the both of them, Empower info. I have no idea, no history of this, it was my first test for it. I am already looking for a Homocysteine supplement, soif anyone can help here i would appreciate it.

Thank you...

Pregnenlone is a poor and innaccurate test, and can be expensive (depending on one's financial perspective), reason you don't see people testing it. But test Progesterone instead as it's accurate, cost effective and a fair assumption that if Prog is OK then Preg is OK as well as it's just one step up in the conversion chain.

I don't advocate use of either one but when guys do use them, it's best for an oral micronized capsule like Empower has available, or even a TD cream. Cheap oral tablets should be avoided like the plague. Dosing on one or both should be low to judge tolerance, like 5-10mg each per day.

DHEA can be an aromatase problem in many guys.

I would only take 5-10mg of each daily. Personally I respond better to lower doses of dhea or preg.

Do I need preg if am taking hcg?

I am on hcg and my dhea levels actually dropped a bit. I would suspect the same for pregnenolone levels.
