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 naturally occurring steroid hormone precursor — your body can convert it into other hormones like DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients (cellulose, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silica) that serve as fillers and binders.

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 support, and hormone balance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Memory, Aging, Fatigue, Stress, Depression, Cognitive function — and 2 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 we have doesn't establish that pregnenolone works for the conditions it's often used for. Our data rates it as having insufficient reliable evidence for alcohol use disorder, Alzheimer's disease, autism spectrum disorder, back pain, and bipolar disorder.

If you're thinking about using it for one of these or another reason, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current research actually supports.

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, but it's a hormone with limited human safety data, so use it only under guidance from a healthcare professional. The most commonly reported side effects include acne, agitation, diarrhea, drowsiness, excitement, hair loss, sweating, and tremor.

A few people have reported skin rashes that may have been triggered by sun exposure; these cleared on their own. Because it's a hormone and safety in pregnancy isn't known, avoid it while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Pregnenolone

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

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 pregnenolone, double-check it with any estrogens, progestins, progesterone, or testosterone products — it may strengthen their effects. Also flag it if you're on benzodiazepines (anti-anxiety or sleep medications), as pregnenolone might make them less effective over time.

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.

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.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?

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 while I'm pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against hormone supplements during pregnancy due to unknown risks. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or planning to be.
Is it safe to take while breastfeeding?

What side effects might I notice?
The most common are acne, agitation, diarrhea, drowsiness, excitement, hair loss, sweating, and tremor. A few people have reported rashes, possibly from sun sensitivity. Most side effects were mild, but if you notice anything bothersome, let us know right away.
What does pregnenolone actually do in my body?

Should I take this for Alzheimer's disease or bipolar disorder?
The evidence doesn't establish that it works for these conditions. We rate the evidence as insufficient, so there's no solid proof it helps. Talk with your doctor about therapies with stronger support.
