A preparation may contain a combination of hormones — progesterone and estrogen, for example. A combination preparation (such as a combination transdermal patch) is convenient, but it can be troublesome if your provider needs to make adjustments to one part of the preparation. So despite the convenience, separate hormones are usually prescribed separately.

Pursuing pregnenolone

Pregnenolone is called a precursor hormone. It helps make other adrenal hormones (such as DHEA and testosterone, which we discuss later in this chapter), and it also acts on its own.

If your pregnenolone levels are low, your healthcare provider may talk to you about supplementing. Most healthcare practitioners prefer an oral form of this hormone, which is taken daily. The benefits of taking pregnenolone can include the following:

Improvement in cognition and memory

Increase in energy and overall improved sense of well-being

Improvement in sleep quality
