These claims you share about Prenenolpme are not inline with actual studies on the mother hormone, could you please share some studies that actually back your claims? Thank you,

Pregnenolone has worked wonders for me too. It has a protective effect on the brain and supplies critical endocrine pathways. It is required for the synthesis of testosterone and progesterone, among other things, in both men and women. Anxiety can be fixed by microorganisms of the Laetobacteria family when present in the gut, but they sure won’t make testosterone for you, so it’s not a contest in terms of gaba.

No. since biotin is water-soluble, it can’t cross a fatty acid barrier like the BBB on its own (same thing goes for pregnenolone). Sulfation is required for it to happen.

It’s good to know that hair loss can be reversible with biotin supplementation. I’ve noticed more and more hair falling out of my head when I shower, and it’s starting to worry me. Do you suggest I get naturally sourced biotin for best results? http://miraclemed.com/product-category/mens-products/

Hi,
Not sure what your health crisis is , but pregnenolone is a gaba antagonist, which will potentiate anxiety and its ohysical symptoms, as well as increase glutamate excitotoxicity, activation of autonomic system and cortisol/ adrenaline secretion, most of which are not very healing…. Good luck. Peace

Sodium dependent multivitamin transporter SMVT
I haven’t come across this term in a while. I appreciate how thorough your articles can be (the BBB stuff got snapped up by a latent curiosity I’ve always had, ha).

As a pre middle-aged male who is rebounding from a severe health crisis, I rely on pregnenolone in the mornings, which in the past I used sublingually. What about sublingual admin of biotin? Would that accelerate the process of crossing the BBB? Also, Biotin/ Coenzyme A article on WHFoods.org is stellar IMO. (This tangent reminds me of Hydroxocobalamin.. sublingual a godsend for me. Adenocobalamin also involves biotin I believe?)
