Question 1

Is this micronized?

Accepted Answer

I can't tell if it is micronized or not. All I know is, it WORKS! I have my pregnenolone tested every 4 months and it tests perfectly in my body. I suggest asking the question on the www.lifeextention.com website.

Question 2

Can someone from Life Extension confirm if their Pregnenolone is Yam derived, or made synthetically?

Accepted Answer

I just read online that pregnenolone is mfg in laboratories by manipulation of the SOYBEAN. I looked up life extension brand by name and wild yam as well and it still came up saying pregenelone is mfg in the lab by use of soybeans and the ONLY other way of obtaining pregenelone is in the human body through cholesterol. I ordered mine and started it today but I will not use soybean ANYTHING. I also saw SO MANY WARNINGS about pregenelone it wasn't funny, and one of those warnings was about soybeans and cancers. 99% of the other warnings were from rxlist, WebMD,even the anti doping assn. Wikipedia was the only article that didn't say they were dangerous. FDA warning and cease/desist order given companies saying they were compounding pharmacies when they were supplement mfgs. To stop this practice immediately. I did NOT See ONE GOOD REPORT on this supplement out of the 37 that I read and the 4 that I downloaded. 41 total with no good reports. Every one of them were full of warnings and every one of them said that there have.I got this in hopes that it would help, but now I'm so scared to take it with all these warnings starting from 2004 all these years up to 2020 telling people to only take it by prescription and under the advice if a physician. So soybean is not the biggest concern, but side effects that can cause life threatening heart and blood pressure abnormalities.

Look it up and decide for yourself. I'm a single parent of a disabled child and a daughter about to graduate from HS. I'd rather feel run down and out of sorts the rest of my life that risk leaving them without care. This part is my opinion and preference. The rest of this was taken from as many sites as I could find with an opinion or medical advice.

Question 3

Can anyone tell me of a pregnenolone made in the usa? thank you.

Accepted Answer

On the label of the product there is: "Manufactured for: Quality Suplements and Vitamins, Inc. Ft Laudedale, Florida 33309". And that's it...I think that this doesn't mean that is manufactured by them in the U.S.A . ... They didn't left the information clear...But, the thing is, under my judgement,  the company that are selling is reliable.They are importing and putting their names in something that are made under their quality control.I use to take pregnenolone for 2 - 3 months every 6 months.I already bought 4 bottles of this product through these years and i'm very happy with the effects.Looks like that give me some more stamina for the day...Sorry about my language mistakes... This is Doggui from Brazil ! :D

Question 4

Can this be taken on an empty stomach. I typically fast during the day

Accepted Answer

However, I only take 5 mg. of it, on recommendation of my doctor.  I open a capsule, carefully mix the contents, and divide it into 20 equal piles (as nearly as possible.)  It's rather a bother, but it works for me!  
Taking the whole 100 mg. capsule might make me nauseated, too.  I haven't tried that.
