Pregnenolone

A steroid made by the body from cholesterol, inside the mitochondria: it is the starting point for almost all steroid hormones and also acts as a neurosteroid. It was first synthesised in 1934 by Adolf Butenandt and colleagues. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?Although it is the forerunner of almost all steroid hormones, it has no hormonal activity of its own: no progestogenic, oestrogenic, androgenic or corticosteroid effect.
