Pregnenolone
Explanation: Pregnenolone is a hormone produced mainly in the adrenal glands (small organs above the kidneys), but also in the liver, brain, and reproductive organs. It acts as the “parent hormone” for many other important hormones, like cortisol, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. Pregnenolone plays a critical role in stress response, mood regulation, energy production, and brain function.
Test purpose: Testing its levels can help identify issues with adrenal function, hormone production, or neurological health (memory loss, cognitive decline, or mood disorders like depression). It is particularly useful in cases of unexplained fatigue, hormonal imbalances, low energy, or stress-related symptoms.
