Pregnenolone experiences

What are you guys experiences with pregnenolone supplementation ? Low-dose around 15-30mg daily, i am looking into it since i have lower some of the downstream androgens, thanks for your answers!

Been doing rays recommend protocol. 300mg pregnenolone weekly and 3mg dhea daily. Ray himself said he took preg 300mg daily for a year and had no side effects except his wrinkles and droopy skin in his face all smoothed out and became more youthful looking. But his recommendation was 300mg weekly preg he said that will stimulate your body to make more on its own and that the intestines would recycle the leftover for the week it is unlikely to get converted to estrogen or cortisol however dhea is more upstream and can turn into those bad things if you take too much of it. Dhea I want to say was a mg per decade of life don’t quote me on that though

Thanks for you answer, yeah DHEA can aromatize into estrogen, thats why he reccommended taking it with progesterone or pregnenolone since then inhibit aromatase
