Pregnenolone Blood Test
Item # LC140707
Steroid hormone precursor key to hormone balance & brain health
Pregnenolone is important for proper brain development and a healthy hormone balance. Testing for blood levels of this hormone can help monitor if you are deficient and provide guidance if you decide to supplement.
Pregnenolone is known as the mother hormone. All other steroids including testosterone and estrogen are derived from this important hormone. For this reason, optimal blood levels of pregnenolone are critical for a healthy hormone balance. Pregnenolone is also important for proper brain development, cognition, memory, and mood. These dramatic effects on the brain are why pregnenolone is known as a neuro-active steroid. Instructions Fasting is not required for this test. Take all medications as prescribed. If you are supplementing with any hormones, we suggest taking them approximately 2 hours prior to having your blood drawn to see peak levels. Hormones are best drawn between 8-10 AM. Note This test measures the free unconjugated form of pregnenolone. |
