60 capsules per bottle, each containing 25 mg of Pregnenolone, 25 mg DHEA, and 2 mg of Melatonin - all in one easy to use economical capsules. Purchased separately, these capsules would cost at least $35.00. These are the synergistic hormones of which benefits are enhanced when taken together.
The ingredients in this supplement are:
DHEA
The benefits of this naturally occurring hormone in the body are so numerous, there is no real space here to expound on them. However, we have an extensive article regarding the benefits of DHEA in our "Articles" section under DHEA Replacement Therapy (click to go to the article). It would be worth your while to read about it to see just how much it can benefit your overall health and wellbeing.
Pregnenolone (25 mg) the parent of all hormones. All other sex hormones are derived from it, including DHEA. It is the super hormone of our brain. The brain and the adrenal cortex produce it and levels decrease as we age. By age 75 we produce only about 40% of our youthful levels.
Pregnenolone or "preg" is the most potent memory enhancer ever discovered. Preg enhances our mental performance, facilitates learning, helps us adapt to stress, increases our feeling of well being and actually makes us happier and more appreciative of life. Preg improves concentration, prevents mental fatigue, increases productivity and improves psychomotor performance. It helps prevent depression. Preg simply keeps our brain functioning at peak capacity.
Preg has very synergistic effects when taken with DHEA and melatonin, Appetite is significantly decreased and cravings for alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, mind altering drugs and even chocolate are usually decreased as well. The sense of well being is increased and the craving for the aforementioned substances decreased or eliminated.
Promising results have been shown "preg" as an alternative for estrogen replacement, menstrual problems, lupus, PMS, post-natal depression, menopause, rheumatism, arthritis, seizures, mood disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, clinical depression, diabetes, MS, immune enhancement, insomnia and sleep disorders, tumor inhibition, fibromyalgia, nerve injuries and anxiety. This is only the tip of the iceberg and many years of research are needed just to start to discover what miracles can be found.
Pregnenolone has been shown to be safe, non-toxic and without side effects when taken in 100 mg doses per day or less. With the astounding results shown over the past 50 years and the incredible potential along with the proven safety of this and other natural hormones, anyone with a comprehensive health and life extension program must include pregnenolone as part of their daily regimen.
Melatonin
Considered by many as a true "fountain of youth," anti-aging hormone.
Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland in the brain that helps regulate other hormones and maintains the body's circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm is an internal 24-hour time-keeping system that plays a critical role in determining when we fall asleep and when we wake up. Darkness stimulates the production of melatonin while light suppresses its activity. Exposure to excessive light in the evening or too little light during the day can disrupt the body’s normal melatonin cycles. For example, jet lag, shift work, and poor vision can disrupt melatonin cycles. In addition, some experts claim that exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic fields (common in household appliances) may disrupt normal cycles and production of melatonin.
Melatonin also helps control the timing and release of female reproductive hormones. It helps determine when menstruation begins, the frequency and duration of menstrual cycles, and when menstruation ends (menopause).
Many researchers also believe that melatonin levels are related to the aging process. For example, young children have the highest levels of nighttime melatonin. Researchers believe these levels diminish as we age. In fact, the decline in melatonin may explain why many older adults have disrupted sleep patterns and tend to go to bed and wake up earlier than when they were younger. In addition to its hormonal actions, melatonin has strong antioxidant effects. Preliminary evidence suggests that it may help strengthen the immune system and help regulate heart rhythm and cardiac health.
Note by Dr. Lynda:
I began taking 50 mg a day of DHEA about 15 years ago. I had been put on HRT (hormone replacement therapy) after a complete hysterectomy ( I have since discovered was unnecessary). I had ongoing problems with moodiness, hot flashes (BAD!!!) and sleep problems. I went back to the doctor over and over trying to get the dosages to help, but it never got better.
I then heard about DHEA and decided to give it a try.I have been taking 25 mg. a day and I have had NO problems since. I can tell when I have missed taking it because the symptoms return, however, as long as I continue to keep my blood serum levels of DHEA up, I am fine. I am 63 years old and my skin looks good for my age and I, generally, don't feel like a 63 year old. I am married to a man 17 years my junior and I can keep up with him. I attribute some of that to my ongoing use of DHEA and my natural health life style consisting of no drugs, whole, raw foods and raw milk.
Incidentally, since finding this DHEA, Pregnenolone & Melatonin combo, I have been taking one a day at bedtime and they are even better than DHEA alone!! The have increased my libedo, which was a surprise to me. Apparently it is due to the added 25 mg. of Pregnenolone.
