Pregnenolone（Cat No.:A001199）, is a natural steroid hormone and a precursor to other steroid hormones in the human body, including progesterone, cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone. It is primarily produced in the adrenal glands, liver, and brain. Pregnenolone plays a vital role in regulating various physiological functions, such as mood, memory, and stress response. In recent years, it has gained attention as a potential nootropic supplement, believed to enhance cognitive function and memory.
