Pregnenolone supports youthful memory and cognition. But what does that mean?
Pregnenolone is active in your brain—but levels of pregnenolone decline as you age.
When levels of pregnenolone drop, so do levels of some of the other essential hormones, chemicals and biologically active compounds in your body.
Taking pregnenolone promotes youthful hormone levels, along with youthful memory and cognition.
Pregnenolone
A hormone is a cellular chemical whose job is to send signals, commands and messages to other parts of your body. Hormones can even function as precursors to other hormones—and some hormones, like pregnenolone, do all the above.
Pregnenolone is a neuro-hormone, which means that it affects the central nervous system, supporting attention, memory performance and cognitive function. But pregnenolone levels decline with age.
- Each capsule contains 100 mg of the neurohormone pregnenolone
- Life Extension Pregnenolone is made with 100% self-certified non-GMO ingredients
- At one capsule a day, each 100-capsule bottle contains a little more than a three-month supply
Brain Plasticity
Pregnenolone helps maintain youthful cognitive function because it modulates brain plasticity.
Brain plasticity (also called neuroplasticity) refers to your brain’s ability to form new neurons and connections and rearrange neural networks.
This is an essential part of cognitive function. And along with pregnenolone, it can decline over time.
Strong Mind, Good Mood
As you know by now, pregnenolone is neurologically active in your body.
This means that it affects how your brain works: pregnenolone helps maintain cognitive function, attention and memory performance.
Since your brain affects how you feel, pregnenolone can also promote optimal mood.
Hormone Balance
Because it is a hormone precursor, supplementing with pregnenolone promotes hormone balance.
Pregnenolone is the precursor to a whole family of hormones, including DHEA, glucocorticoids, progesterone, and estrogens.
So pregnenolone helps maintain youthful levels of these hormones, as well as pregnenolone itself.
Building a Stronger Mind
As we age, circulating levels of all kinds of hormones can decline. One of them is pregnenolone. To address this, we’ve created a pregnenolone supplement.
At Life Extension, we believe strongly in the benefit of hormone supplementation. That’s why we offer pregnenolone in both 100 mg and 50 mg doses, so you can choose the right amount of pregnenolone for you.
We’ve also included pregnenolone in our flagship Cognitex supplement for comprehensive brain support. Cognitex combines other brain-friendly nutrients—but this supplement is a stand-alone pregnenolone formula.
While pregnenolone is a hormone normally found in your body, you should consult your doctor before taking this product if you are at risk for or have been diagnosed with prostate or breast cancer.
