HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pregnenolone 100 mg by Supplement Spot

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 3, 2026

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 100 mg per capsule. Pregnenolone is a hormone precursor — meaning your body uses it as a starting material to make other hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

The capsule also contains gelatin, rice bran, and magnesium stearate as inactive ingredients.

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: supports hormonal balance and cognitive function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Memory, Stress, Fatigue, Aging, hormone regulation, mental clarity.
  • The closest evidence on file: Pregnenolone is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Fatigue (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Pregnenolone is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Memory, Stress, Aging.

The evidence we hold on pregnenolone's effectiveness is not established. We have ratings for several conditions — including alcohol use disorder, Alzheimer disease, autism spectrum disorder, back pain, and bipolar disorder — and for all of them the data is insufficient to draw a reliable conclusion.

If you're considering this supplement for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor about what research does exist and whether it's a fit for you.

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. The most commonly reported side effects in studies include acne, agitation, diarrhea, drowsiness, excitement, hair loss, sweating, and tremor.

A few people have reported skin rashes (one possibly related to sun sensitivity) and changes in mood or appetite, though it's unclear in all cases whether pregnenolone caused them. Because pregnenolone is a hormone with limited human safety data, use it only under guidance from a healthcare professional.

The safety data advises against it during pregnancy due to unknown risks. There isn't enough information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use if you're nursing.

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're on estrogens or birth control (Moderate interaction), benzodiazepines like diazepam or lorazepam used for anxiety or sleep (Moderate), progestin-based medications (Moderate), testosterone therapy (Moderate), or progesterone or progesterone-like drugs (Moderate). Pregnenolone may enhance or reduce the effects of these medications.

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 may be worth considering if you're curious about hormone precursors and have discussed it with your doctor — but the evidence for specific health conditions isn't solid yet. If you take any birth control, hormone therapy, anti-anxiety, or psychiatric medications, you'll want to check with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding this product, as the interactions are real enough to change how those drugs work.

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 100 mg by Supplement Spot: Common Questions

Does Pregnenolone 100 mg by Supplement Spot interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pregnenolone 100 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 100 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.
What is pregnenolone and what does it do in my body?
Pregnenolone is a hormone precursor — a raw material your body converts into other hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. It's naturally produced in your adrenal glands and brain. This supplement provides an extra dose of that precursor, though we don't yet have solid evidence that taking it improves specific health conditions.
Can I take this if I'm on birth control?
No — there's a Moderate interaction. Pregnenolone may enhance the effects of estrogens in birth control because it's a building block for those hormones. You need to talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're on any birth control or hormone therapy.
Will this help with anxiety or sleep?
We don't have reliable evidence that pregnenolone helps with either. If you take benzodiazepines (like diazepam or lorazepam) for anxiety or sleep, adding pregnenolone could actually reduce how well those medications work, so check with your doctor first.
What are the most common side effects?
The most commonly reported side effects in studies include acne, agitation, drowsiness, diarrhea, excitement, hair loss, sweating, and tremor. A few people have reported skin rashes and mood or appetite changes, though it's not always clear whether pregnenolone caused them.
Is it safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against pregnenolone during pregnancy due to unknown risks. If you're breastfeeding, there isn't enough information to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
