HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pregnenolone 50 mg by Eurovital

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.

Pregnenolone 50 mg by Eurovital contains a single active ingredient: pregnenolone, a hormone precursor your body naturally makes. It's a building block your body can convert into other steroid hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — rice flour, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and vegetable magnesium stearate — which are fillers and binders that hold the capsule together.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Pregnenolone product and its label doesn't state a use — see Pregnenolone's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for pregnenolone's effectiveness isn't established in our data. We have ratings for several conditions — alcohol use disorder, Alzheimer disease, autism spectrum disorder, back pain, and bipolar disorder — and all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate it.

That means the studies so far aren't robust enough to say whether it actually works for these uses.

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 safety data in humans, so use it only under the guidance of a healthcare professional. The most common side effects reported include acne, agitation, diarrhea, drowsiness, excitement, hair loss, sweating, and tremor.

Skin rashes with burning sensations have also been reported in isolated cases, possibly related to sun sensitivity — these cleared on their own. Some people have reported mood changes, appetite changes, and increased restlessness, though it's not certain all of these were caused by pregnenolone itself.

The safety data advises against pregnenolone 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 about this before using it.

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 by Eurovital, double-check with your own doctor or pharmacist if you take estrogens, progestins, progesterone, or testosterone products — pregnenolone may enhance their effects. Also check if you take benzodiazepines (sedatives like diazepam), where pregnenolone may reduce how well they work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Pregnenolone is a hormone supplement that may interact with birth control, hormone replacement therapy, benzodiazepine sedatives, and testosterone products, so it's crucial to clear it with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting. It's generally well tolerated, but side effects like acne, agitation, and tremor can occur.

The evidence for its effectiveness in common conditions isn't yet established. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, this isn't recommended — talk with your healthcare provider first.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Pregnenolone 50 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 50 mg by Eurovital: Common Questions

Does Pregnenolone 50 mg by Eurovital interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pregnenolone 50 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 50 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 your body makes naturally. It serves as a precursor — a building block — that your body can convert into other steroid hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. This supplement provides an extra dose of that precursor.
Can I take pregnenolone if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it during pregnancy because the risks aren't known. While breastfeeding, there also isn't enough information to know whether it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you.
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common ones are acne, agitation, diarrhea, drowsiness, excitement, hair loss, and tremor. Skin rashes with a burning feeling have been reported rarely. Some people reported mood or appetite changes, though it's not certain these were all caused by pregnenolone itself.
Is pregnenolone proven to work for memory, mood, or pain?
Not yet — the evidence we have for conditions like Alzheimer disease, bipolar disorder, and back pain is insufficient to say whether it actually works. More robust studies would be needed.
Is it safe to take pregnenolone on my own without checking with my doctor?
No — it's a hormone with limited human safety data, so you should use it only under guidance from your own healthcare professional. That's especially important if you take hormone-based medications or sedatives, because pregnenolone can interact with them.
