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 hormone precursor—a building block your body can convert into several steroid hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and others.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients: cellulose, gelatin, silica, and magnesium stearate, which help form and stabilize the tablet.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: memory and cognitive support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Memory, Aging.
  • The closest evidence on file: Pregnenolone is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Memory (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Pregnenolone is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Aging.

The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate pregnenolone for any of the conditions studied—including alcohol use disorder, Alzheimer's disease, autism spectrum disorder, back pain, and bipolar disorder. That means the evidence isn't yet strong enough to say whether it works for these uses.

If you're considering it for a specific health concern, talk with your doctor or pharmacist 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 is a hormone with limited human safety data—so use 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 also reported skin rashes, a burning sensation on the hands, depressive mood, and changes in appetite; however, it's sometimes unclear whether pregnenolone caused these or something else did. The safety data advises against using pregnenolone during pregnancy due to unknown risks.

There isn't enough safety information to use it while breastfeeding either—talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's appropriate for you.

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 this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take estrogens, progestins, testosterone, progesterone, or benzodiazepines (anti-anxiety or sedative medications). Pregnenolone may enhance the effects of hormones or reduce the effects of benzodiazepines.

These are all Moderate-severity interactions, so it's important to confirm your specific medications are safe to combine with this supplement.

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.

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 while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against using pregnenolone during pregnancy because the risks are unknown. There also isn't enough safety information to use it while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What are the most common side effects?
The most common reported side effects are acne, agitation, diarrhea, drowsiness, excitement, hair loss, sweating, and tremor. A few people have also reported skin rashes and changes in appetite.
Does pregnenolone actually work for anything?

If you're considering it for a specific use, ask your doctor or pharmacist what the current research actually supports.
Why does this product interact with so many hormone medications?
Pregnenolone is a hormone precursor—your body can convert it into estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and other steroid hormones. When you take it with medications that are already hormones or hormone-like, there's a risk the combined effect will be stronger than intended.
Is pregnenolone safe to take long-term?
Pregnenolone is generally well tolerated, but it's a hormone with limited human safety data. It should only be used under guidance from a healthcare professional. Talk with your doctor about whether long-term use is appropriate for you.
