One of the basic building blocks that the body utilizes to make many of the hormones we need is something called Pregnenolone. This is a substance made from the Cholesterol generated when the body consumes food. It is made in the adrenal gland and when it is made, it is a universal specific ingredient for the hormones Testosterone, Progesterone, Estradiol, Estrogen, and DHEA. These hormones are made out of the pregnenolone by the various other glands and organs of the body into the specific hormone associated with those glands and organs.

Sometimes it is beneficial to take a replacement or supplementary dose of pregnenolone, but most of the time it is not when the deficient amounts of the other hormones such as testosterone are being supplemented or replaced individually.
