BE VERY CAREFUL ~ NO EXPLAINATION on how to take this very powerful steroid.
The seller has sent me a second email within one week asking me to review the product. I responded to the first email by saying that I was going to wait one month before leaving a review, but I guess they do not read their customer emails. Which puts into perspective what this seller really cares about , selling their products and not about the customer.
I bought this product for hormonal balance. I am 39 years old and have experienced PMS symptoms, irritation being my most severe for 2 weeks out of every month since having my first child in 2006. I was hoping that this product would relieve me, but it actually increased my aggravation and irritation. The product came very quickly, but with no instructions except for take two drops two times a day, so I watched several YouTube videos and did some reading on pregnenolone in order to understand the product and know how to take it. I didn't know whether to take it during a certain phase of my cycle, in the morning, with or without food or whether to put the drops under my tongue or in a drink. I opted for doing two under my tongue, in the morning on an empty stomach. I started taking the product on the first day of my period which is usually light and lasts 3 days. Well this product made my period basically non-existent, it made me very irritable and less energetic during a part of my cycle when I am usually happy and full of energy, when my PMS is over. I stopped taking the product after about four or five days and the next morning I was bright and happy, with no irritation. I also noticed that my skin got a big greasier as soon as I started taking the product and went back to normal right after I stopped.
I am still going to try this product out during my luteal/ PMS phase of my cycle only because of the research I did and the great feedback pregnenolone has and hope that I will have better luck then.
I wish the seller took a bit more effort to include a small pamphlet explaining the product, how and when to take it, possible side effects, and went to stop taking it. They should also explain that you can get your hormones tested to see whether you really need this product or not. Which is what I am going to do. I got this information by watching several YouTube videos. If I had not watched the YouTube videos and done my own research I would not have put two and two together and known that the pregnenolone was causing my irritation.
Maybe I should have looked for a pregnenolone sellers that are also interested in educating and informing their clients and not just selling their product, then only reaching out to them asking they write a good review so they can fatten their pockets.
