HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pregnenolone 10 mg by Wonder Laboratories

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: pregnenolone 10 mg per capsule. Pregnenolone is a hormone precursor — a chemical your body naturally makes and uses as a starting point to build other steroid hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose, gelatin, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate, which are inactive ingredients used for structure and stability.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Pregnenolone's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: memory, cognitive function, and mood support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Memory, Depression, Stress, Fatigue, Aging, cognitive decline — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Pregnenolone is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Depression (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Pregnenolone is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Fatigue, Memory, Stress, Aging.

The evidence isn't established in our data. Pregnenolone has been studied for several conditions — including Alzheimer disease, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, back pain, and alcohol use disorder — but the research we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works for any of them.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether there's stronger evidence for a specific use you're considering.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Pregnenolone

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Pregnenolone is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though it is a hormone with limited human safety data — use only under guidance from a healthcare professional. The most common side effects reported in trials include acne, agitation, diarrhea, drowsiness, excitement, hair loss, skin abscess, sweating, and tremor.

Less often, it has been linked to skin rashes (including one case with a burning sensation, possibly a light-sensitivity reaction), depressive feelings, and changes in appetite — though it's not always clear whether pregnenolone was the cause. Because it's a hormone supplement, the safety data advises against taking it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning either.

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Pregnenolone.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 82 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take estrogens (including birth control), benzodiazepines (sedatives), progestins, testosterone, or progesterone — pregnenolone may enhance hormone effects or reduce how well anti-anxiety medications work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Pregnenolone might be worth discussing with your doctor if you're interested in hormone support and are willing to work closely with a healthcare provider — it is a hormone, after all, and the safety track record in humans is thin. Avoid it if you take estrogen, progesterone, progestin, testosterone, or benzodiazepine medications without first checking with your doctor or pharmacist, since it may change how those drugs work.

Run your exact medications through the checker on this page, then talk the results over with your own healthcare team.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Pregnenolone 10 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Pregnenolone5 drug types · 82 drugs

Benzodiazepines

Concomitant use of pregnenolone may reduce the effects of benzodiazepines.
Very preliminary clinical research shows that chronic use of pregnenolone reduces sedative effects of diazepam when compared with chronic use of placebo. This effect may be related to the activity of pregnenolone at GABAA receptors.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Estrogens

Theoretically, taking pregnenolone might enhance the effects of estrogens.
Pregnenolone is a precursor for several steroid hormones, including estrogens.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Progesterone

Theoretically, taking pregnenolone might enhance the effects of progesterone.
In humans, some research shows that oral administration of pregnenolone can increase levels of progesterone. However, other research shows no effect on progesterone levels. It is possible the impact of pregnenolone on progesterone levels may be dose dependent.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Progestin

Theoretically, taking pregnenolone might enhance the effects of progestin.
Pregnenolone is a precursor for several steroid hormones, including progestin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Testosterone

Theoretically, taking pregnenolone might enhance the effects of testosterone.
Pregnenolone is a precursor for several steroid hormones, including testosterone. However, preliminary clinical research shows that taking pregnenolone 30-500 mg orally daily for up to 8 weeks does not affect testosterone levels.

Pregnenolone 10 mg by Wonder Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Pregnenolone 10 mg by Wonder Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pregnenolone 10 mg has a known interaction with 82 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Pregnenolone 10 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take pregnenolone if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against taking pregnenolone during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to unknown risks. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering it if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning either.
What are the most common side effects?
The most often reported side effects are acne, agitation, diarrhea, drowsiness, excitement, hair loss, skin abscess, sweating, and tremor. Skin rashes and changes in mood or appetite have also been reported, though it's not always certain pregnenolone was the cause.
Does pregnenolone actually work for Alzheimer disease or bipolar disorder?
The evidence isn't strong enough to say. We hold data showing insufficient reliable evidence to rate pregnenolone for these conditions, as well as for autism, back pain, or alcohol use disorder. Ask your doctor or pharmacist whether there's research supporting it for what you're considering.
Why does pregnenolone interact with so many hormones?
Because pregnenolone is a chemical building block your body uses to make estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and other steroid hormones. Taking it as a supplement may theoretically boost those hormones or their effects.
Will pregnenolone make my anti-anxiety medication less effective?
It may. Early research shows pregnenolone can reduce the calming effects of benzodiazepines like diazepam when taken over time. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.
